Cheesy Roasted Cauliflower & Bacon Baked Shells

When it comes to comfort food, there is nothing that I find as satisfying as a big bubbly casserole of baked pasta. My husband unfortunately isn’t quite as fond of baked pasta as I am, mainly because he likes his pasta VERY “al dente.” In fact, we have an ongoing discussion almost on a daily...

Farmers’ markets in early fall are a feast for the senses—tables piled high with late-summer tomatoes, baskets of zucchini, shiny eggplants, and of course, bell peppers in every shade of red, yellow, and orange. I always come home with more than I planned, brimming with ideas for how to turn my market bounty into something...

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...

I have been waiting and watching for weeks, and finally, my tomatoes have started to ripen. My very favorite pasta sauce is anything made with fresh, ripe tomatoes just picked from the garden. Since the tomatoes look to want to ripen at the same time, I see a lot of ripe tomatoes in my near...

Having lived in Italy for many years, full-time for eight years, and part-time for fifteen years, my husband and I are both pasta addicts.

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...

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...

Every fall I become a little obsessed with winter squash. I am thoroughly enjoying all the different varieties of squash available this time of year, and since squash is so versatile, I am using it in just about everything I make. As well as being delicious, winter squash is a good source of vitamin E,...
