205 romano recipes

Add some fun to a dinner party with this delicious dip that goes well with tortilla chips and salted crackers.

Extremely rich combination of chicken, spinach and creamy pesto sauce. Serve with crunchy bread and romaine salad.

Tortellini with prosciutto and sweet peas in an easy tortellini sauce based on mushrooms and garlic cream. Comes together & is on the table very quickly.

Onion and potato soup built on sweet butter-cooked white onions, shredded potato, garlic, and prosciutto, finished with grated Romano. A rustic Italian-style soup ready inside an hour.

Orzo, spinach and pine nuts, with garlic, tomatoes and a bit of romano cheese makes an elegant side dish.

Roasting concentrates the flavour and the roasted garlic doubles up on the depth of flavours. The portobello mushrooms add a meaty texture, and pine nuts add a nutty highlight.

Rigatoni al Gorgonzola with crumbled Gorgonzola melted into warm cream with nutmeg and Parmesan. A rich, velvety Italian blue cheese pasta sauce that comes together in the time it takes to boil the noodles.

Marvelous recipe. I prepared it exactly as written and wouldn't change a thing.

One of the best homemade mac n' cheese I've ever had. The flavor of the sauce was excellent. Instead of provolone I use asiago cheese. The bits of feta and spinach made for nice variety. Bread crumb topping added another layer of crunchy texture.

Authentic Spanish-American chili con carne made with cubed beef, beef suet, and whole dried red chile peppers reconstituted and pulped into a smoky, deeply flavored bowl of red. A traditional no-bean chili built on real chiles, not powder.

Much better than classic Macaroni and Cheese. This version still has lots of cheesy flavor but is baked with juicy tomatoes and lots of mushrooms. Serve with a simple salad and make with whole wheat macaroni for a serious boost to the health value that's packed with flavor. A great family casserole.

This recipe is over 100 years old. I add a twist to the recipe (and a little sweetness) by adding some golden raisins, like my favorite restaurant in Provincetown, Mass., does.

A Roman-style spicy bruschetta with fresh parsley, basil, garlic, and red pepper flakes in olive oil and red wine vinegar. No tomatoes here, just a punchy herb topping on grilled country bread. Vegetarian.

These savory muffins are great for breakfast. They can be made in advance, frozen then defrosted in the microwave in a flash if you have a chance before they're gobbled up. The pesto, basil/garlic/pine nuts really create a wow factor. They're hard to resist.

July, the high season of chanterelle.. I like the combination of this mushroom with bear's garlic, and here it is..

Fiery penne all'arrabbiata with pancetta, crushed Roma tomatoes, capers, green olives, anchovies, and hot chili peppers simmered in red wine. A bold, spicy Italian pasta ready in 45 minutes.
