Cacio and Pepe Pasta
Cheese and Pepper Pasta (Cacio e Pepe)
This pasta is simple with few ingredients. Definitely use real Parmigiano-Reggiano and Pecorino Romano, as well as freshly ground black pepper. With so few ingredients, you don’t want to skimp. This dish is great for a fast dinner, especially if you’re at the end of your groceries. Pasta, cheese, and butter are staples in our house. Topping the dish with a sunny side up egg is not traditional, but is great over leftover pasta the next day.

Prosciutto Purses with Sliced Pear
Prosciutto Purses
Adapted from Lidia Cooks from the Heart of Italy by Lidia Bastianich
This little appetizer is a cute, fun, and tasty little bite. These prosciutto purses are great for serving to a small number of guests, and a great appetizer to utilize helpers. Get an assembly line together and they will be done in no time. These salty bites are also great with a glass of Prosecco or sparkling apple cider. If you can get it, buy real Prosciutto de Parma from a deli that slices it to order.

I think it’s one of the best pizzas I’ve made so far. While I’m usually not one to jump at a pizza with a white sauce, I’ll definitely be making this one again soon!
