Pasta Carbonara With Nduja

Deborah — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 11:00:00 +0000

One of my favorite aspects of Italian cuisine is its regional differences. Almost every region in Italy has its own specialties, and although some dishes are shared between adjoining areas, the cuisine from region to region is uniquely different as well. My husband’s father is from Calabria, so my husband grew up enjoying food a...

Lemon, Olive Oil, & Rosemary Loaf

Deborah — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 11:00:00 +0000

I love baking with olive oil in place of butter, particularly since we have a huge supply of our own olive oil harvested each year from the 100 olive trees on our property. Although I do not have anything against butter and do use it as well from time to time, we all know that...

Focaccia Stuffed With Prosciutto Cotto, Provolone Cheese & Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto

Deborah — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 11:00:00 +0000

I make some type of focaccia at least once a week. My basic rosemary topped focaccia is my favorite all-round focaccia to use for sandwiches, cut into small squares to serve in place of bread, or to simply snack on, but from time to time I like to play around with my focaccia dough. Last...

Colorful Lentil Salad With Fresh Herbs

Deborah — Mon, 08 Jun 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Lentils are often an overlooked ingredient, and apart from lentil soup, many have never even cooked lentils at home. Lentils are very popular in Umbria, Italy, where we live part of each year. In Umbria, lentils are used in soups, sauces, salads, and are also braised and enjoyed as a side dish. If you have...

Carciofi Fritti ~ Tuscan Fried Artichokes

Deborah — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 11:00:00 +0000

If I had to pick just one vegetable to eat daily, it would have to be artichokes. I could eat them every day for a year, and I doubt I would get tired of them. I even try to plan our trips to Italy around the artichoke season, because unfortunately, it is far too short....

Asparagus Salad With Tomatoes & Gorgonzola

Deborah — Wed, 27 May 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Spring vegetables are one of the things I miss most when I’m not in Italy. Every year we look forward to markets overflowing with fresh artichokes, tiny sweet peas, tender fava beans, and those pencil-thin asparagus spears that seem to find their way onto our table almost daily. Here in Florida, fresh artichokes can be...

Pasta Carbonara With Asparagus & Pecorino Cheese

Deborah — Mon, 25 May 2026 11:00:00 +0000

This recipe is one I’ve had on my blog for over eight years so I recently decided that it needed updating. I do not make this pasta dish often, but I do like to make it in the spring when asparagus is inexpensive and the spears are thin and tender. I enjoyed this tasty...
