Italian

The food of Italy is hard to rival. This Mediterranean country is the home of many of my favorite classic dishes. From Northern Italy’s risottos to Roman pasta classics, seafood dishes from the coast, pizza from Naples, and more – we love Italian. The Italian recipes curated on this site are simple authentic versions of my Italian favorites. Many require fresh tomatoes and herbs along with quality Italian cheese.

  • This thin crust pizza dough recipe is super easy and produces a great crispy thin crust pizza! The dough can also be used to make flat bread, pita breads, breadsticks, or rolls. You also don't need to make it 24 hours in advance - 2 hours is plenty of time for the dough to rise. Try it out at your next pizza night!!
