    Italian Recipes

    These easy Italian-inspired recipes are tried-and-true family favorites. Italian is one cuisine that lends itself very well to midweek meals, because high-quality pantry staples can stand in beautifully for fresh produce if you don't have time to visit the grocery.

    I include lots of tips for building flavor quickly in delicious soups and sauces that taste as though they've been simmered all day. Most of these Italian recipes freeze well for easy meals later on.
