Italian Recipes

My best Italian recipes, including pizza recipes, pasta sauce recipes, lasagna recipes, and this family-friendly Spaghetti and Meatballs, will practically transport you to a trattoria in Rome or Sicily….or at least to a classic Italian-American red sauce restaurant in the Midwest! Unlimited breadsticks, anyone?

Kick off your Mediterranean dinner menu with an Italian appetizer recipe like my Antipasto Platter, Pesto Cheese Bread, Caesar Salad, or Focaccia. Then dive into an Italian main dish recipe such as Baked Ziti, Cacio e Pepe, Penne alla Vodka, Shrimp Scampi, One Pot Chicken Alfredo, The Best Make Ahead Lasagna, or Margherita Pizza. Finish your feast on a sweet note with an Italian dessert recipe like Tiramisu or Pizzelle (Italian cookies).
