Pancetta Mac-n-Cheese
This is everything I ever wanted in macaroni and cheese…and more. It is insanely saucy. Astoundingly ooey, gooey, creamy, and cheesy. A goldmine of crispy bits of house-made pancetta are buried throughout. And a crust of buttery breadcrumbs freckled with herbs makes it all crunch on top.

Tomato Pie
A simple pleasure of thick, soft crust, and sweet, tangy tomato sauce. I’ve updated (and vastly improved) my old recipe for Tomato Pie, and could not be happier. The crust is airy, soft, and chewy, as it should be. The sauce is just right. Enjoy, new and improved, Tomato Pie 2.0!
Jambalaya Arancini
If New Orleans and Sicily had a food baby, this is what you'd get. These fried rice balls get a jazzy makeover with jambalaya instead of the traditional risotto. Oozy smoked Gouda in the center play well with the spices and rich flavor of the jambalaya.
