Slow Cooked Steak Pizzaiola
This weekend I had some inspiration to make some Slow Cooked Steak Pizzaiola. Jaime recently bought me a new crockpot and last Sunday I made a meat sauce with meatballs, sausage, pork chops, and braciole (which will be its own post sometime soon), and I ended up having some steak and tomato sauce left over. So I got a great idea. Let's use these leftovers to put together something ...
Italian Wedding Soup
I will admit to a bit of confusion about Italian Wedding Soup myself. It's so obvious when you hear the name, it must be served at Italian weddings right? Nope, wrong. This soup has nothing to do with weddings. Marriages maybe, but not weddings. Okay, what the heck am I talking about? Italian Wedding Soup was another of these so-called peasant soup dishes, made with ingredients that were ...

When we lived back on Long Island in New York, authentic pasta fazool was our go-to ...

My mom says this happened because I once saw my grandfather eating some pasta with butter, but I think it was more than that, I really didn't like the taste of tomato sauce when I was a kid. Luckily I got over this many many years ago. But every ...
Chicken Parmigiana – The Yardstick of Italian Food
Chicken Parmigiana As Measuring Tool: In my opinion, chicken parmigiana is the basic Italian dish by which Italian restaurants and cooks can be quickly measured. In this way, you can consider this dish the yard stick of Italian food. On the other hand, chicken parm is considered the basic Italian entree, the "safe and boring" choice if you will, typically difficult to be screwed up so badly ...
