Rehydrated Porcini mushrooms and parmesan cheese make these gnocchi taste cheesy, earthy and flavorful. Roast the gnocchi in the oven gives the nice flavor and texture. Serving them with the sauteed mushrooms and thymes.

My sister was kind enough to share her wonderful recipe with me. Serve over any type of cooked pasta.

A desert that tastes like a creation of an award winning chef...

My favorite tortellini soup recipe. It's quick and easy to fix on a busy night and full of tasty, healthy ingredients. Make it Italian by adding some Italian seasoning and parmesan cheese rind while cooking.

I was out of Tofurkey Italian Sausage tonight and needed to substitute something else because I can't buy it. I had a cupboard full of Bob's Vital Wheat Gluten and some TVP, so I figured I'd try making it. When my hubby came home, he tried it and immediately said "Write it down! Write it down!" I guess he liked it!

Basic Biscotti recipe

This classic Italian Eggplant Parmesan is a family fav!

Italian Meatballs and Spaghetti recipe

Definitely a quick and easy dish. A very clean taste, cooked bacon bits added some nice smokiness and broccoli lightened up the whole dish with lots of goodness. We used whole grain macaroni that added extra fibre to the dish. This is the kind of dish that kids and grown-ups all enjoy.

Spaghetti squash is a healthy, low-carb, gluten-free substitute for regular pasta. One cup of spaghetti squash has 42 calories, 10 grams of carbs and 2 grams of fiber. The same amount of cooked spaghetti has 220 calories, 43 grams of carbs and 3 grams of fiber.
