Summer is soon over, and I am sad to say that after a great start at the beginning of the season, our vegetable garden dwindled down to nothing after getting too much rain. It seems that just a month ago I was complaining about having too many ripe, red tomatoes in my kitchen, and then...

My husband and I are both pasta fanatics, and if I go more than three days without pasta of some kind, it’s unusual. I made a quick trip to a local outdoor market last weekend and bought some gorgeous Roma tomatoes and red peppers. I knew I wanted to make a pasta dish that evening,...

Spring Pasta With Asparagus Pesto

Deborah — Mon, 28 Apr 2025 11:00:00 +0000

I love to prepare seasonal dishes using local ingredients in my kitchen. Obviously, as we pass from one season to the next, our tastes change due to the weather and what ingredients are available to us. As much as I love a warm bowl of creamy polenta topped with meaty ragu, that is not a...

Paccheri With Fresh & Canned Tomato Sauce

Every Italian family has their favorite tomato sauce recipe, often one that has been passed down through generations. It may be a simple sauce made with fresh garden tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, or a long cooking sauce flavored with various types of meat. I have to say that my preference is seasonal, and when fresh...

I decided to “revisit” or repost this recipe because it is not only one of my most popular recipes over the past twenty one years but also one of my most controversial. My original post for this recipe, was very brief, had only one photo, and I cannot remove that post because it still gets...

Pasta With Nduja Meatball Sauce

Deborah — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 11:00:01 +0000

I love adding nduja to any dish that I can. Nduja is a spicy, soft, spreadable salami. Nduja is typically made with parts of the pig, such as the shoulder and belly, as well as tripe, roasted peppers, and a mixture of spices. Although nduja is available in Italy, it is not so easy to...

Instant Pot Whte Rabbit Ragu

Deborah — Mon, 10 Oct 2022 11:00:53 +0000

I was never a big fan of the Crockpot, and I think I can count the times on one hand that I’ve used mine. My Instant Pot, however, is another story, and I use it a couple of times a week. My husband and I fast every Monday and break our fast at dinner with...
