I think perhaps the most quintessential comfort food is a hearty, creamy, quick and easy Chicken Pot Pie. Chicken Pot Pie remains in my memory from childhood as something warm and delicious and comforting, so much so that decades later I still think about it with longing. Chicken Pot Pie isn’t something I have fond memories…

Zucchini Parmesan & Prosciutto is a deliciously gooey and cheesy dish that makes great use of all your summer garden zucchini. No frying or precooking needed!

Homemade Cavatelli

April 24, 2020

Homemade cavatelli

Homemade Cavatelli are one of the wonderful homemade pastas so typical of the poorer areas of southern Italy, like Puglia. In the past eggs were scarce, so farmers and home cooks made do with eggless pasta dough. Cavatelli are made with a semolina flour and water rather than with all purpose, or “00″ flour that’s used for…

Pasta with Wild Boar Sauce

January 29, 2020

Pasta with wild boar sauce

Pasta with Wild Boar Sauce is my favorite dish on cold winter days!  If you don’t have  pappardelle on hand then use another pasta like rigatoni or fettuccine.  There are many dishes that I love but make infrequently because they just take too much time to prepare. I found that a pressure cooker or instapot allows…

Beetroot Fettuccine with Butter and Sage

January 13, 2020

Beetroot Fettuccine with Butter and Sage

I love making Beetroot Fettuccine with Butter and Sage for a number of reasons. First off, I love making homemade pasta, both hand-rolled and with a pasta machine. It’s relaxing and there’s nothing quite like the consistency of freshly made pasta. One of my favorite things is beautifully colored pasta as it looks so great…

Farro Pasta with Fresh Tomato Sauce

December 12, 2019

Farro pasta with fresh tomato sauce, a delicious whole-grain pasta alternative!

Farro pasta with fresh tomato sauce is a luscious whole grain pasta dish! Sometimes the best pasta dish is the simplest: just a basic tomato sauce with olive oil, tomato, and garlic. Actually it’s the pasta dish we have most frequently. I confess that generally I prefer a standard egg pasta over anything else, but…
