Let’s take a trip to Rome. In fact, this recipe and the song “An Evening in Roma” are two things that are synonymous in my head. Amatriciana is a typical Roman pasta that I make a point of eating every time I am there. Like other typical Roman pastas like cacio e pepe, gricia and carbonara it’s easy to make with simple ingredients that pack a lot of flavor.

For this recipe I used the rigatoni from my very own pasta line. This pasta (made in Pienza, Italy) is crafted from nutrient-rich organic durum wheat, packed with fiber and essential ingredients that promote easier digestion. It is bronze die cut and slow dried, and is also lower in calories and carbs, while being higher in protein compared to other brands! The taste is amazing as well. It is available on my website.

Type the word “Rome” and I will send you the links for the pasta and this recipe.

Quick note, the trick with the parchment paper I learned from my friend Giancarla I have taken her classes at Monteverdi a few times, most recently with my tour and I’ve learned so many great tips from her.

You all know that I love creating beautiful tablescapes and I wanted to so that you can too!
I recently welcomed a group of women to my home that I curated a private tour for, and I wanted to make the tablescape special. It is June, so for me an Amalfi coast lemon tablescape was the perfect theme.
The first night was a welcome party that was not only a beautiful dinner, but it was also a cooking class with a private chef. The chef was NICOLO and he was actually on Masterchef Italy. It was an incredible evening with beautiful live music and amazing people.
ALSO, FYI I used a lot of these items for my daughter’s bridal shower. I know so many of you have asked me about this.
Type the word “Table” and I will send you everything that I used.

Spaghetti Pie, also known as Frittata di Spaghetti, is an inventive recipe that comes from the resourceful Neapolitan peasant culture. Traditionally this dish was made with leftover pasta after a big Sunday dinner. In my Italian-American family we would have it as a meal alongside a nice salad for lunch or even for dinner. My son now likes to eat the leftovers for breakfast. This version has, of course, eggs and Pecorino Romano and is stuffed with ricotta and mozzarella.

But be creative and use what you have on hand. In one version I created, I added sundried tomatoes and Fontina. It was delicious.

Ingredients
(Makes 10 Large Slices)
1½ Pounds Spaghetti
7 Eggs, Beaten
1 Teaspoon Salt
¾ Teaspoon Pepper
1 Cup Grated Pecorino Romano
8 Ounces Mozzarella, Sliced
2 Cups Ricotta
2 Tablespoons Butter
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Method

Boil pasta water and add salt. Boil the spaghetti, drain well and cool slightly.

In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, salt, pepper and grated cheese.

Add the spaghetti and mix well.

Heat an 11” fry pan and add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Be sure to coat all sides. You don’t want your pie to stick.

Take half of the spaghetti mixture and put it in the bottom of the frying pan.

Then spread the ricotta in a layer around the top of the spaghetti, and follow with the sliced mozzarella.

Add the rest of the spaghetti to top off the frittata, forming a pie. Cook for about 10 to 15 minutes on low heat.

Cover the top of the pan with a plate the same size. Flip the frittata onto the plate gently.
Add the rest of the butter and olive oil to the pan and gently slide the frittata off the plate back into the pan.

Cook the other side for another 10 to 15 minutes.

Serve warm.

Potato and Egg Frittata Sandwich…lets bring back this classic dish for one second and relish in the memories. This delicious frittata was a staple growing up in my house. My grandparents would often make it for lunch with a side salad or even for dinner with some soup.

I love to make it a quick meal and serve on top of crusty Italian bread with melted mozzarella.
I hope you will try it. Just the smell of it brings me back to so many great memories.

Full recipe below
Potato & Egg Frittata Sandwich (Serves 6)
Ingredients
3 Potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 Tbsp. Olive Oil, plus more to brush the bread with
10 Eggs, beaten
½ Cup Grated Pecorino Romano
1 Tsp. Salt
1 Tsp. Pepper
8 Slices Fresh Mozzarella
1 Loaf of Crusty Italian Bread

Method
Preheat the oven to 400.
In a 10 inch frying pan, heat up the olive oil.
Add the potatoes and fry them up until golden brown and cooked through.

In a bowl put the beaten eggs, the grated cheese, salt and pepper. Mix well.

Once the potatoes are cooked, remove from the pan and put into the egg mixture.
Remove most of the excess oil and pour the egg mixture back in the pan. Cook on low until the bottom half of the frittata is almost cooked thru.

Then cover the top of the pan with a plate the same size. Flip the frittata onto the plate gently. Slide the frittata off the plate back into the pan and return to the stove to finish cooking.

Next, slice Italian bread down the middle and put on a parchment lined baking dish.
Brush with olive oil and place the sliced mozzarella on top of both sides of the bread. Get in the oven and cook for about 10 minutes, until the bread is toasted and the mozzarella is melted.
Remove from the oven and put slices of the frittata on the bread to make a sandwich. Serve.

Recipe Note… this can be done with different vegetables as well. For example you can do zucchini and eggs, or even red peppers and eggs.

Pork Cutlets in a Hot and Sweet Cherry Pepper Sauce is one of my son’s favorite meals. In fact, we often make it together. The mixture of the 2 kinds of peppers gives this sauce a little bit of sweet and a lot of zing. And trust me when I say this meal is quick and easy and is sure to dazzle. I like to serve this meal with roasted potatoes and salad. Such a delicious meal. I have been craving it and had to re-share.

A few details about this meal….I purchased these thin pork cutlets . They were perfectly trimmed and lean. Believe it or not I actually think pork cutlets are more flavorful than chicken. So you can even do this recipe with no sauce and the cutlets are just amazing by themselves.
I also use my Italian style breadcrumbs. I highly recommend that you make them. They are great because you could make a large batch of them and store them in your freezer. If you do not want to make them, you could use store-bought Italian style breadcrumbs, and add grated Pecorino to them.

Type the work “Pork” and I will send you the recipes for both this dish and the breadcrumbs
