Bell peppers and sausages are cooked in a tasty tomato sauce, then served over a bed of warm penne. An ideal meal for a busy week night.

Absolutely delicious. We made this recipe for Mother's Day, and everyone raved about how yummy it was. Roasted vegetables added tons of flavor, plus the outer layer was so crispy. Definitely a winner!

Oven-roasted cherry tomato and garlic make this delicious dip absolutely addictive. Sweet, tangy and garlicky. You can dip some crunchy vegetables into it, spread it over the toast or toss it with some pasta. Heirloom or vine-ripe tomatoes work well too.

Veggie burgers with lentils, carrots, cashew with a hint of curry.

This is a quick, easy and economical recipe, and it was very tasty too. Feta cheese and black olives gave the dish the Mediterranean flavor. Using spaghetti squash lowered the carb and calorie intakes. Definitely will make it again.

Recipe clipped from an old newspaper. Quick and easy and yummy! :)

The recipe was given to me a dozen years ago at a soccer game. It is a delicious version of a famous Italian soup.

Sautèing asparagus with bacon (pancetta) and leeks is an excellent way to cook asparagus and keep it perfectly tender-crisp and finished with pine nuts and aromatic garlic. Lemon and orange zest make this side a sophisticated, delicious variety of textures and flavors.

Beef in a sweet red bell pepper sauce spiked with jalapeno, garlic, ginger and subtle spices. Colorful and easy preparation.

Paleo friendly savory soup

Panettone (Italian Fruitcake) recipe

Too lazy to cook, but still want something tasty, this Mediterranean pasta salad will fit your need. Pasta is tossed with olive oil, roasted bell peppers, marinated artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese and olives.

I make triangles and leave out the mizithra or cottage cheese (too wet for these). Great appetizers if you make them small.
