Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Pork loin braised in milk

    • julesamomof2 on March 19, 2025

      The milk and cream curdled for me and the finished dish had an unpleasant texture. Could have been user error but I've had luck with other recipes. More specific instructions would have been helpful. Would not make this one again.

  • Spicy Italian sausage crostini with onion jam

    • julesamomof2 on April 25, 2025

      I test drove this for a get together and while tasty, decided it required too much work and last minute assembly to work for my gathering. They were appreciated by my testers though and I may find a place for them at some point.

  • Herby pecorino arancini

    • molly17659 on January 20, 2025

      Great recipe. Super flavorful and makes a LOT of arancini. I would definitely make these as an appetizer for a party. I froze most of them and they really do fry up nicely from frozen.

  • 1980's date-night angel hair pasta

    • mary_a6gvf2 on April 10, 2026

      Easy, super fast and we loved!!!

  • Chicken cutlets "saltimbocca" with prosciutto & sage

    • julesamomof2 on April 25, 2025

      This was alot of work and, once again, the recipe has errors that I had to work around. I wish I would have just made traditional saltimbocca - easier and tastier.

  • Stuffed artichokes

    • julesamomof2 on March 19, 2025

      I'm not going to rate this recipe as I got so confused trying to follow her instructions that I gave up. The picture of the finished artichokes looked delicious, but I've never made them before and the step by step description seems to be targeted for those who have experience with the prep.

Publishers Text

120 go-to Italian American favorites for all the red-sauced, pan-fried, crispy-cornered, baked-until-bubbly comforting classics you’ll want to eat every night.

Food Network star Alex Guarnaschelli may be a French-trained chef, an Iron Chef, and a short-order-chef to her daughter, Ava, but at her core, she’s an Italian American home cook. Her mom’s heritage was Sicilian and her dad’s people were from Bari; she pledged allegiance to her father’s marinara on weekdays and to her mom’s on the weekend and grew up eating at many of the red-checked-tablecloth trattorias throughout New York City. She still stops in to chitchat with the shop owners in Little Italy, where she buys the milkiest fresh mozz, the most thinly sliced prosciutto, and the crunchiest biscotti.

These are the recipes that are favorites for so many of us, whether your family is from Italy or not. From Fettuccine Alfredo, Whole Chicken alla Diavola, and Carmella Soprano’s Lasagna (yes, that Carmella Soprano) to Stuffed Artichokes so big and bursting that they’re a main course unto themselves, these 120 recipes and 115 stunning photos are a celebration of garlic and tomatoes, Parmesan, pesto, and all the meatballs, sausages, and tiramisu in between. There are both simple weeknight suppers and slowly simmered Sunday sauces, and they represent the food we make to celebrate, commiserate, and just to be—it’s Italian, it’s American, it’s all of us.
