RECIPES
RED WINE BRAISED SHORT RIBS WITH POMEGRANATE
One of my favorite wintertime recipes — red wine braised short ribs. I like to top it with fresh pomegranate seeds for pops of brightness and serve it over goat cheese polenta. Plus, the pomegranate and parsley garnish make it the perfect festive dish for the holidays.
SIGNATURE STUFFED MUSHROOMS
This is my most requested recipe — my stuffed mushroom. The ingredients are pretty simple, but it’s packed with flavor. I also love plating it in a bed of “snow” aka shaved Parmesan.
HOLIDAY FOCACCIA
This has quickly become one of my favorite new recipes — focaccia bread topped with caramelized onions, cranberries, and fresh rosemary.It is super easy to make (trust me!) and it’s the perfect holiday appetizer. Serve with a side of burrata or ricotta cheese, and enjoy!
DON ANGIE LASAGNA
I have been dying to try the iconic pinwheel pasta from @donangienyc , but getting a reservation seems to be more difficult than winning the actual lottery. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands. You can have pretty much everything made ahead of time and then just bake it before serving. It also made great leftovers.
BALSAMIC GLAZED BRUSSELS
The only Brussels sprouts recipe you need. Thanksgiving is around the corner and you need a bangin’ sprouts recipe to go along with your classics.

The perfect hors d'oeuvre for your next gameday party, holiday party, or frankly, any day party, these little sammies are so freakin’ delicious.

A French classic! This chicken stew with red wine is incredibly delicious and is perfect for those chilly Fall nights.
STEAK WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE
Blueberry’s with your steak? I know this might sound like an unusual pairing, but you’ll just have to take my word for it. Years ago, I had this combo at a restaurant that is no longer around, so I had to recreate it at home. I hope you give it a try.
VODKA RIGATONI
This vodka rigatoni was insanely delicious and came together in under 35 min! The recipe is from Bon Appetit and is pure perfection.

SPAGHETTI AL LIMONE
If you ever go to Lil' Frankie's in NYC, you have to try their signature Spaghetti al Limone. It’s the inspiration for this easy-to-make, impossible-not-to-love pasta.
ORECCHIETTE WITH SWEET ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND BROCCOLI RABE
I love all pastas, but my all time favorite is orecchiette. Plus it translates to “little ears”, which is adorable.
