Ricette della mia Famiglia

As part of the Ricette della mia Famiglia recipe collection, my grandmother’s Sausage Dressing recipe is an absolute necessity. For the classic stuffing mix, feel free to use your favorite stuffing base like Pepperidge Farms or even Stove Top. The Italian Sausage and parmesan cheese give it a delicious boost! And while it is a…

I’m here to tell you, String Beans Au Gratin puts that string bean onion mushroom casserole thing to shame. Shame, I tell you! 😁 Is your family going to complain when they see you making the string beans differently (if they’re even in the kitchen while you’re cooking!)? Probably. Are they going to beg for…

My dad was my everything. He passed away in 2015 from Lung Cancer. He gave me my love of horses, cornbread and milk, and of course, Pecan Pie. Every Thanksgiving and Christmas my dad had 1 Pecan pie all to himself. It was his absolute favorite. Don’t forget to visit my Ricette della mia Famiglia…

A properly cooked steak doesn’t need steak sauce. Ugh, ok, whatevs. For the 99% of the rest of us, this is a delicious Steak Sauce my Aunt used to make from scratch. You probably have most of the ingredients in your refrigerator right now. It’s cool, tangy, and has just the right amount of kick….

This is my family’s tried and true version of bread pudding. I have to admit though, I usually don’t add the raisins…

I’ve heard you either love ’em or hate ’em! Our family is a big fan of sweet potatoes. Whether it’s baked sweet potatoes, sweet potato fries, or sweet potato casserole, they’re definitely a fan favorite in our household. This is also a great balance to the tangy Grandma Angie’s Italian Stuffing we serve on Thanksgiving….

This one isn’t one of our Italian family recipes, but it was one of my favorites growing up. I now make it for my own children and they love it as much as I did. It is simple and fast and can be made after a long day at work with little effort. You’ve probably…

Potato Dumpling. That’s basically what Gnocchi is. And while there aren’t many ingredients, there is definitely a technique to forming and cooking it, for sure. Even though this was cooked at almost every Christmas dinner I had while growing up, I still struggled to cook it on my own as an adult. When forming gnocchi,…

You often see polenta served on a plate as a side dish with a main course. But that isn’t how my family eats it. To eat it properly, once cooked you spread it over a clean wooden board, like a large cutting board, and top with my Grandma Angie’s Original Grilli Spaghetti Sauce, and then…
