A hearty pasta dish inspired by the bountiful markets of Bologna, Pasta con Verdure, Salsiccia, e Panna is brimming with sautéed veggies, beefed up with sausage, and finished with thick cream.

Whole Wheat Spaghetti with Roasted Beets, Toasted Walnuts, Brown Butter, and Boursin Cheese: clean, earthy, wholesome...and stunningly beautiful.

Recipe inspired by Bar Stuzzichini's Maccheroni alla Chitarra: the creamy, thick sauce and homemade pasta was rich and comforting. The lemon zest reminded me of Sicily, the pistachios added crunch & interest.
