Roast Pork in Milk1/18
There's a reason this stroke of Italian brilliance, which infuses a relatively cheap cut of pork with a subtle milky sweetness, is a classic. One taste and you'll be thanking us.
Lobster Fra Diavolo2/18
This swanky pasta dish, gilded with chunks of sweet, sweet lobster and hints of finely chopped chile, lends a little extravagance to everyday spaghetti.
Lemon and Thyme Risotto3/18
A lilt of lemon and hints of thyme dance throughout this simple risotto. The best they've ever tasted.
Rigatoni with Artichokes, Garlic, and Olives4/18
This weeknight friendly, company worthy, simple but not terribly subtle pasta concoction has us swooning.
Ciabatta5/18
Every once in a while, along comes a loaf of bread that's so rustic, so memorable, it ruins every other bread experience. Here's that loaf.
Pasta Puttanesca6/18
Just like the women for whom it's named, this pasta puttanesca recipe is edgy, spicy, and more than a little sassy. Gets the job done in a hurry, too.
Bolognese Lasagne7/18
Think you know lasagne? As Giuliano Hazan explains, what you know may be sadly mistaken. His recipe will fix that.
Roast Chicken with Pancetta and Olives8/18
"One of the best chicken recipes ever!" "Crisp-skinned." "Juicy." "Aromatic." "Easy." "Gorgeous." "Heavenly." That's what we're hearing from folks who've tried this preparation for chicken (or rabbit). Sorta makes you wanna try it, eh?
Pork Sausages with Roasted Grapes9/18
A traditionally Umbrian dish in which pork sausages and plump grapes are coaxed to tender goodness and jammy sweetness. You're welcome.
Homemade Pasta Dough10/18
Pasta made fresh according to Italian tradition is unspeakably more supple, satisfying, and gratifying than the dried-out store-bought stuff and, in fact, lovely enough to cause you to weep. Here's how to make it at home.
Pasta Soup with Potatoes and Pancetta11/18
This good old-fashioned soup has a frugal heartiness once needed by day laborers, a satiating subtleness now appreciated by foodies.
Classic Beef Meatballs12/18
Know that little ditty about how some poor hungry soul's meatballs were lost when somebody sneezed? It always makes us sad.
Pastina with Butter and Milk13/18
We’ve got stars in our eyes...and our bowls...and our spoons...all thanks to pastina, the teensy star-shaped pasta. It just may be the cutest supper in the solar system.
Homemade Nutella14/18
No longer are you safe from temptation just because you summoned enough fortitude to skip the Nutella aisle at the store. Not safe at all.
Rosa’s Almond Biscotti15/18
We find these unabashedly unconventional biscotti bewitching beyond belief. Different form. Same function. Far less fuss.
Chocolate Tart with Pine Nuts16/18
We don't know Italian, but we're pretty certain this tart, with its molten filling and brownie crust, translates to "Damn good!"
Fig, Apricot, and Nut Biscotti17/18
This beauty of a biscotti may seem a descendant of sorts from fruitcake, though it boasts a heck of a lot more allure than its stodgy ancestor.
Polenta Plum Cake18/18
A cake that's as rife with uber-ripe plums as it is Italian heritage. You're gonna love the gritty-in-a-good-way texture and buttery taste.
