Italian lunch/3 recipes

A convoluted version of Muffaletta salad inspired the the New Orleans sandwich of the same name. Based on a recipe by that Guy on Food Network; a dressed up pasta salad that's packed with loads of punchy flavors and textures then served in Bibb lettuce cups.

In my opinion, this is the most decadent, rich and scrumptious pasta dish and one of my all-time favorites (I originally got this recipe from a Bon Appetit magazine many, many years ago). Very easy to prepare and always a hit.

Cream cheese and mascarpone cheese makes this creamy and silky cheesecake, rhubarb and strawberry glaze adds the sweet and sour crunch, and the chocolate covered strawberries gives extra surprise. There are so many delicious things going on all at once, it's such a deluxe luxury!
