This Italian Herb Marinade is wonderful on grilled meat, as a marinade, or dolloped on roasted vegetables. You can even serve it as a salad dressing.
Meatballs are a staple in my home. When I make a big batch of sauce I like to fill the pot with as many meatballs as I can. I also like to make enough meatballs to freeze for future meals. Many people are passionate about their meatball recipes, but in keeping with eating healthier I find that Gluten Free Chicken Meatballs are a delicious alternative to have on hand.
This flavorful soup is so good you’ll want to make it again and again. Tortellini Soup is perfect for those chilly winter nights. You may want to make extra because it’s even better the next day!

This is a nice stew to make if you have leftover vegetables. Italian Vegetable Stew is perfect for an autumn lunch or a light dinner. Serve with delicious crusty bread.
Deep purple or creamy white, eggplant has a hearty, meaty texture and a neutral taste that readily absorbs the flavors of whatever ingredients are cooking along with it. Eggplant marries particularly well with strong flavors, such as garlic, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Be sure to purchase plump, shiny, unblemished eggplants that feel heavy for their size; light ones may be spongy.
Plum and other oblong tomatoes (such as San Marzano) have small cores, which are ideal for sauce. For other tomatoes, start with a couple extra.
I tend to eat more salads in the warmer months. Panzanella Salad is an excellent main course summer salad. I flavored this classic Italian bread salad with pancetta arugula.
