Sweet, but not too sweet, and chocolatey (extra chocolatey, actually) gelato is smooth, silky, and rich. This sweet treat is for real chocolate lovers.

A list of all the recipes Patricia Scalione has tested.
Charred Greens with Garlic
An exceptionally tasty way to prepare a side of supergreens that’ll give your dinner a little boost. Red pepper flakes and raw garlic make it even better.
Zucchini with Ricotta, Mint, and Basil
Another suggestion for all that zucchini stashed everywhere–layer golden zucchini with salty, melty cheese. It’ll make you thankful for the bounty.
Italian-Style Turkey Meatballs
Meatballs are meatballs, right? Not even close. These little babies take ground turkey and make it taste like a healthier, umami-packed heaven.
Homemade Whole Wheat Bread
A standard loaf for beginner and experienced bakers alike, this whole wheat bread recipe turns out a superb product—tender crumb, chewy crust, and nutty flavor.
Chocolate Meringue Mousse Cake
A chocolate lover’s dream come true, in the form of a lightly textured, dark chocolate mousse. Not too sweet, not too rich—just right.
Orzo Salad with Grilled Vegetables
A light dinner for when you just can’t face the thought of heating up your kitchen in the summer. Just slice and grill your way to a sublimely citrusy, veggie-filled pasta salad.
Roasted Carrots with Dukkah
Carrots are blistered and then sprinkled with a deconstructed dukkah made of nigella, coriander, cumin, and fennel seeds along with a sprinkle of roasted hazelnuts and almonds. And it just happens to be healthy.
Pain au Fromage
A remarkable rustic loaf that’s cheese inflected and crusty yet tender and contains a little whole wheat flour (so it’s healthy!). Your sandwiches are gonna thank you.
Easy Chicken Enchiladas
An uber-quick and less traditional approach to chicken enchiladas gets you a tasty dinner, weeknight or not. The secret? Your toaster oven.
