Ready to go Meatballs – Polpette Pronto all’Uso
I always keep meatballs stocked in the freezer—they’re endlessly versatile. Toss them into a red-sauce pasta, flatten and sauté them for dipping, or bake them in the oven with veggies. This go-to meatball recipe adapts easily to whatever you’re in the mood for.

Pork Marsala Panino – Panino di Maiale al Marsala
We love a sandwich and salad for dinner, especially if they are hot sandwiches. This pork sandwich is sweetened with Marsala wine. Marsala can be sweet or dry and is produced in the Italian city Marsala in Sicily. In Italy I can get “Marsala al Uvo”, which translates to Marsala with egg.

Veggie Infused Mini Meatloaf - Mini Polpettone Infuso di Verdure
My family loves meatloaf! What I love is that I can hide any kind of veggies and they eat them without complaining. Today I made a batch of my Vegetable Purée which infuses the meatloaf with broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, onions and pepper. The vegetable purée makes the meatloaf lighter and healthier for us as well as make it really moist.
