A hearty vegetarian meal, packed with flavour and topped with blistered Shishito Peppers. Shishito peppers are small, green peppers from Japan. Similar to a Spanish Padron pepper or a skinny Jalapeño, but nowhere near as spicy, except maybe for the odd one. We like to…

Even though Risotto takes a bit of time to prepare, it is very simple to make. This classic Italian dish is buttery and creamy rich. We added high quality scallops and some sautéed oregano for an elegant entree.

Vongole means “clams” in Italian and Spaghetti Vongole has stayed close to the original recipes from the coastal regions of Italy. Add tomatoes instead of the greens if you like, but do go to a trusted fishmonger for the best seafood.

Beef Cannelloni was traditionally made for Sunday lunch or a holiday – originating in Italy, it is not region specific, but thought to be associated with Campania and Sicily. Our “go to” pasta sauce is Rao’s Marinara, and it doesn’t disappoint in this dish.

This 1 skillet dish is reminiscent of American Goulash, made with tomatoes, ground meat, elbow macaroni and cheese. It is quick comfort food for an easy weeknight meal. We just about always build a bowl, it is easier to count Carbs and have Gluten and…
