Thick and spicy spaghetti sauce gets its character from an unconventional spice rack: basil, paprika, cinnamon, curry powder, hot sauce, and burgundy wine simmered slow into a deep, complex pasta sauce.
Duck Braised with Olives
French-style braised duck with olives, bacon, red wine, and Dijon mustard. A rustic country braise where the duck simmers low and slow until fork-tender, served over wild rice.

Sauteed shrimp and rice with fresh corn, white wine, basil, and thyme cooked in one pan. Summer weeknight seafood dinner ready in 40 minutes, equally good cold the next day.
