A lovely smoky twist on a classic. #ItalianFood

Simple but utterly delicious. Bringing together chestnuts, mushrooms and pork, this dish is practially autumn on a plate. #ItalianFood memoriediangelina.com/2025/11/21/t...

A must read if you’re into Italian food. Even more than pizza and pasta, the soul of Italian cuisine lies in its exquisite fruits and vegetables. #ItalianFood

When is a sweet not really sweet? When it’s castagnaccio… #ItalianFood memoriediangelina.com/2025/11/14/c...

Pork loin and pineapple? Who would have thought you’d find that combination in Italy’s most iconic cookbook. And yet, there it is. #ItalianFood memoriediangelina.com/2025/11/07/a...

Spaghetti and Meatballs is an Italian-American invention and don’t exist in “real” Italian cookery? Well, yes and no…. #italianfood #pasta

In honor of Italian-American Heritage Month, my favorite cookie… #italianamerican

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: If there’s any food more primally satisfying than fried dough, I haven’t come across it yet. #italianfood #pizza #napoli

Patate vastase alla trapanese is a simple but tasty potato casserole dish from Trapani in Sicily. The potatoes are mixed with tomato, onions and oregano, while mozzarella provides a rich and creamy topping. A combination of flavors vaguely reminiscent of pizza and nearly as delicious.

I love dishes where an ingredient like celery that usually plays a supporting role in cookery gets to shine. And so it is with this lovely stuffed celery dish from the city of Prato in Tuscany. #italianfood #cucinaitaliana #tuscany #cucinatoscana

This frittata was quite literally life changing

This coffee flavored ricotta dessert couldn't be easier or more refreshing. Served slightly chilled, it's a perfect dessert for the summer. Or any time of year. #italianfood #cucinaitaliana #ricotta #caffè #coffee #dessert #dolci

Peperoni imbottiti alla beneventana are filled with a savory bread stuffing flavored with typically southern Italian ingredients: tomato, anchovies, olives, capers, garlic and herbs. #ItalianFood #cucinaitaliana #peppers #summer

While they have that same unbeatable combination of eggplant with tomato and cheese, involtini di melanzane are much easier and quicker to make than a parmigiana. #italianfood

If there’s one dish that embodies the spirit of Naples, spaghetti alla Gennaro might well be it. #ItalianFood

Might be my favorite summer dessert #ItalianFood

If anyone tries to tell you that zucchini aka courgettes are a bland vegetable, serve them this dish. #ItalianFood

This strawberry semifreddo looks awfully elegant—a kind of gussied up version of strawberries and cream—guaranteed to elicit oohs and aahs from your guests. #ItalianFood #Desserts

Some flavor combinations were just meant to be, like peas and eggs. #ItalianFood

Without exaggeration, this was the most delicious thing I’d tasted in a good while. #ItalianFood #Pasta

One of the more memorable culinary discoveries I made during my trip to Puglia last spring was this delightful snack of puff pastry rounds filled with a creamy and savory filling. #ItalianFood

The recipe is so simple, it’s practically magic. You whip ricotta cheese with sugar, cocoa and a bit of cognac. Presto, in a matter of seconds, you’ll have a creamy ambrosia with the taste and mouth feel of a rich chocolate mousse. #ItalianFood #dessert

Spring on a plate 🌸 #ItalianFood #Pasta

Romans make a gorgeous and delicious salad with chicory shoots called insalata di puntarelle alla romana. The contrast of tastes and textures is just heavenly. #ItalianFood

RIBOLLITA might just be my favorite soup… #italianfood

Here’s a way to bring some flavor and interest to even the wannest of supermarket pears: #ItalianFood #cucinaitaliana

It may be heresy for some, but I'll take pot roast over prime rib any day of the week. #italianfood

Radicchio is wonderful in pasta or risotto but you can also enjoy it all on its own. It makes a quick and easy contorno (side dish). which pairs particularly well with roasted, grilled or pan-seared meats.

Much like pasta, scaloppine are a great example of the Italian genius for using a fairly bland main ingredient as a foil for a flavorful sauce. Scaloppine ai funghi, enhanced with the woodsy flavor of mushrooms, is particularly lovely in the colder months. memoriediangelina.com/2025/01/24/s...

Orange and fennel is quite possibly my salad winter salad. A refreshing palate cleanser after the hefty dishes we like to eat tgis time of year. Lovely sprinkled with pomegranate seeds as well. memoriediangelina.com/2015/11/06/i...

Of all the dishes Angelina would make when I was a kid, Pasta and Lentils was my favorite. I still make it during the colder months. Or any time I’m wanting some culinary comfort. It probably won’t win any beauty contests. But if you like lentils, you’ll love this pasta. Pure comfort on a plate.
