When I think of the Amalfi Coast of Italy, with it’s dramatic coastline and picturesque seaside towns, I recall so many happy memories with family and friends. My mind will forever hold on to my “mental snapshots” of the moments shared in this special place. From the Isle of Capri, to the beautiful city of … Continue reading
This sauce basically consists of only sweet bell peppers and olive oil. Yes, we need a little salt and pepper and maybe some hot red pepper flakes, but honestly it is the flavor from the peppers and olive oil that makes this sauce good enough to eat with a spoon, without even the pasta.

This pasta dish is full of wonderful, fresh, summer ingredients. For some strange reason, it tastes best when eaten outdoors on a beautiful spring or summer day. We serve it room temperature, so it can sit on a picnic buffet table all afternoon. We love it and make it often in the spring and summer … Continue reading
When my sister-in-law Maria calls, and says she’s just made a delicious dish, I run for a pen and paper, especially if it’s pasta dish! When she called me with this recipe many years ago, I listened carefully as she described it, wiped the drool from my mouth, and ran for the nearest writing utensils. … Continue reading

Cavatelli and broccoli……another winner from Little Nonni. However, when I think of this dish, I remember it as my mother’s. It was a family favorite so she made it often. It was the dish that most people requested when coming to our house for dinner. She became famous for it. It’s one of those dishes … Continue reading
I apologize for seeming to be obsessed with beans (fagioli) lately, but it’s winter, and beans make for a hearty meal. I don’t really think about beans as much in the summer. It’s in winter that we want our meals to have a bit more substance and earthiness. And beans do the trick. Besides, who … Continue reading
Oh dear, I am 23 days late with this “good luck” dish. I am hoping that “better late than never” will apply here. You see, lentils on New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day (my family has always been loose with some traditions so we usually give ourselves a day or two to carry out … Continue reading
