I have been making Soba Noodles with Peanut Sauce for years. It’s healthy, full of flavor and only requires a blender and a pot of boiling water. From a health standpoint, this recipe is vegan and if you sub tamari for soy sauce, it’s gluten free, too! Just make sure your soba is gluten free,
Lasagna is a perfect crowd-pleaser for entertaining, but today, we’re taking it one step further. Add pizza toppings to the equation, and instead of layering the noodles, roll them up. Hellooooo, pizza lasagna! That’s what we’re doing today in my kitchen as a part of the Italian Dinner Party Series. Let’s jump in the kitchen

If I had to pick a Valentine other than the Ry-guy, it would be carbs…all the carbs, in fact. Never met one that I didn’t adore. At the tippy-top of the list, just slightly under my beloved potatoes (I want to be buried with potatoes. “Here lies Simon the Spud.”) is pasta, specifically handmade, fresh
I get really excited when you guys request recipes. When @disguyyy asked for help with Chicken Scaloppine on Twitter, I got downright amped up and hit the internet, scouring for input on the ultimate Chicken Scaloppine. Of course, there’s the whole Scaloppini thing. Aren’t the ‘e’ and the ‘i’ both plural in Italian, because, the…nevermind,
“Mac and cheese, PLEASE!!!!!”, so says Mr. Blaise. Who could resist that request? I set to work to concoct a super cheesey-riffic mac and cheese for my little buddy and came up with these ooey-gooey results. Just a few notes: When buying your cheese, do not go with pre-shredded.

We officially have a Halloween tradition in the Simon house. For three years now, I’ve made a big pot of spaghetti with meat sauce (Bolognese if we’re bein’ fancy) and opened up the doors to friends and family before Trick-or-Treating. After a third round of rave reviews and inquiries for a recipe, I spent today
Ryan loves stuffed peppers. He grew up with his Mom making the classic version with green peppers, rice and ground beef. When Traina Foods enlisted my help to create a series of recipes featuring their Sun Dried Tomato Ketchup, for some reason my brain went to Italian style stuffed peppers. Their ketchup is not like
