Pesto Potato Salad
This recipe is a must try! Most potato salads rely on mayonnaise, but we take a healthier approach. It’s a unique Italian twist on an American classic.
Gnocchi with Fresh Mozzarella, Grape Tomatoes, and Pesto
Put a fresh twist on this hearty, warm Italian dish. Tossing these light and airy potato dumplings with mozzarella, grape tomatoes, and rich green pesto is certainly a recipe for success! It is the perfect summer dish packed with the freshest ingredients.
Polenta with Arrabbiata Sauce
Once a poor man’s food – no more! This mouth-watering dish is perfect to make for a snack or an appetizer. Although we strongly suggest Arrabbiata sauce for its fiery flavor, you can certainly serve this topped with your favorite sauce. Try adding Italian sausage or ground pork to make a more hearty and flavorful dish.
Whole Wheat Orzo Pasta Salad with Artichokes, Spinach, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Pesto
Orzo has officially made its comeback and so we decided to serve it cold in a fabulous pasta salad brimming with vibrant colors and rustic, rich flavor. If artichokes, spinach and sun-dried tomatoes weren't enough to get your mouth watering, we dressed this salad with pesto and balsamic.
Pesto Dressing
This dressing is so delicious and versatile. Drizzle it on pasta salads, use it as a marinade for chicken and fish, or simply toss some with a mix of your favorite fresh greens to make a tasty salad.
Gnocchi with Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto
Rich, potato dumplings combined with our Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto is sweet and delicious. Gnocchi is traditionally eaten with sauces that are light yet bursting with flavor such as this one. Other accompaniments include tomato sauce or olive oil and grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
Artichoke, Feta, Tomato, and Pesto Bruschetta
The subtle flavor of tender artichokes paired with tangy feta, fresh tomatoes, and rich green pesto all on top of grilled rustic bread is a meal in itself. It is a unique spin on a traditional Italian favorite.
Summer Pasta Salad with Grilled Zucchini, Ricotta, Pesto and Olives
Summer is the best time to grill anything- especially fresh vegetables. This summer pasta salad is an excellent example of that. Tender grilled zucchini accompanied with rich pesto dressing, greek olives, and creamy ricotta is a delicious combination of flavors. Add grilled chicken or fish to make it a hearty meal.
Orecchiette with Peas, Pancetta and Cream
Tiny "little ears" perfectly scoop mouthfuls of tender green peas and crispy pancetta. You can substitute ricotta in place of the cream if you want to lighten up on the calories.
Wild Leek (Ramp) Risotto
Spring brings it's crop of fresh ramps, or wild leeks, to a creamy dish of risotto.
