Pasta Puttanesca
Let’s take a trip to Napoli with a big bowl of Pasta Puttanesca! The combination of tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, anchovies, Kalamata olives, and red chili flakes are commonly used in Naples and make this pasta dish simply delicious.
Spinaci alla Romana

Spinach and Artichoke Pasta

Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Rigatoni
Roasted red peppers have a sweet and smoky taste that pair nicely with a little bit of cream and the saltiness of Pecorino Romano.
Penne Pasta with Tomatoes and Black Olives
This is a pasta dish that my Grandma always made. It is packed with flavor and is so easy to make. Over time (if there is any left) it gets even better as all the flavors meld together!
