SUMMER 2020
Cari Amici!
As we all adjust to the new normal, most of you know that we will not be teaching this summer. We wanted, however, to keep our website active by sharing some wonderful recipes that we hope you will try with your family.
On the KID's PAGE look for the Pizza and Focaccia recipe. Once the dough is made and has risen, you can top with Grandpa Tony’s Tomato Sauce for Pizza to make a Pizza Margherita or a Pepperoni Pizza! Another favorite of the kids is Spiral Pasta with Pesto. So many of us grow basil in the garden, and fresh basil is always available in the summer at the farmer’s markets. Did you know that you can make a batch of pesto sauce and freeze it in small containers to have available anytime? Nana’s Baked Meatballs in Tomato Sauce, over spaghetti is a great comfort meal that everyone enjoys. And who doesn’t like Torta Cioccolata, a chocolate cookie crumb ice cream torte for dessert!
On our ADULT PAGE we are sharing three delicious recipes that can be made separately, but together, would produce a fabulous meal. Start with Fettuccine with Prosciutto and Peas, an easy dish in an elegant cream sauce that is so good with fresh pasta. Scaloppine di Pollo al Limone is a delicate chicken recipe made with a lemon-wine sauce. Dessert is Lemon Cream Tiramisu with Raspberry Topping; easy and fabulous!
We encourage you to try these recipes and to please share your feedback!
