Artichoke, zucchini, and asparagus tart (Torta di carciofi, zucchini e asparagi)
- Yildiz100 on November 25, 2015
  
  I absolutely love this tart. However, I never use asparagus as I never have it on hand. I usually use bell peppers. Somehow this tart manages to be light and rich at the same time.
Mixed vegetable casserole (Canazzo)
- Yildiz100 on May 08, 2015
  
  At first, I thought the amount of peppers seemed like overkill, but it was actually perfect. I don't care for eggplant so I substitue peeled zucchini, It makes a delicious, summery stew-like dish that has become part of our regular rotation.
Ricotta gnocchi (Tondore)
- Yildiz100 on August 23, 2015
  
  One of our all time favorite recipes. Surprisingly easy too. I can actually prepare these as an after work meal in about 30 minutes. It helps that I've got the recipe nearly memorized by now. They are melt in your mouth comfort food.
Pasta with pumpkin, sage, and mozzarella (Pasta con zucca, salvia, e mozzarella)
- Yildiz100 on May 29, 2016
  
  Loved this new way of incorporating mozzarella into pasta. (Blending with the butter and herbs to make a paste.) She says to use a small handful of sage. With no idea what that meant I went with about 5 or 6 large leaves. Next time I will double this. My lemon was very juicy so I used a little more than half and zest from only half. This was plenty. Finally, although she doesn't say to, I reserved a little pasta cooking water to moisten the pasta and was glad I did.
Rocket sauce (Sugo di rucola)
- Yildiz100 on July 07, 2016
  
  This is good, but too thick-needs more oil. Not super exciting but a great way to use up the bags of arugula I seem to collect. Tried it on pasta. Will try it on a panino or in risotto to see if that's a better use of it.
Risotto with pancetta affumicata, buffalo mozzarella and Savoy cabbage (Risotto con pancetta, mozzarella e cavolo)
- Yildiz100 on November 25, 2015
  
  We thought this was very tasty and quite different than most risotto's. This is VERY VERY rich though. Very, very cheesy.
