Italian lunch/2 recipes

A self-saucing cake that's magically fluffy and creates it's own tangy key lime curd. Developed at our summer home in Key Largo with inspiration after watching Junior MasterChef Australia.

Affectionately dubbed "Papa's Ground Beef Casserole." This ground beef casserole with pasta is super easy to make using your slow cooker or Crockpot. A staple in our home and didn't last very long.

Quick and easy rendition of a classic. Serve these garlicky marinated shrimp over or tossed with your favorite pasta.

It was so flavorful, instead of broth, we used canned tomato. Served the stew with homemade whole wheat bread, yum.

The other day while we were watching Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen, chefs were making flatbread, basically like pizza, just different shape, which really made my craving for pizza come back to life. Then start making this sun-dried tomato, olive and basil pesto flatbread, and it was so good...

Have to give this recipe 5 star. It was quite easy to make, and it came out delicious.

Elegant Pureed Roasted Eggplant w/ Tahini.

Puree of Yellow Squash Soup recipe

A simple and delicious broccoli salad that is the perfect substitute for when you're tired of the same old leaf lettuce side dish.

These are the best almond biscotti I've ever had.

Absolutely delicious! I love pumpkin but hate making pie crust, so this is a great alternative. Very easy, too. The maple syrup is a nice subtle flavor. The honey glazed walnuts are really a nice touch. Going to be using them in other things, too. I presented this two ways, one still in the ramekin, and one unmolded. Thanks for a great new addition to the fall dessert line-up.

Here is this New England yankee's version of a Southern classic. The cornmeal and panko crumb crust is what sets this recipe apart from others.

The biscotti turned out delicious, by adding white chocolate really enhanced the depth of the flavor, and also gave the biscotti a softer and creamier texture, which also made these yummy biscotti highly additive. Almond and dried apricots added the rich nuttiness and sweet-sour juicy bites.

Mexican style soup thickened with corn tortillas flavored with poblano pepper topped with cheese and crispy tortilla strips.
