Sicilian Pesto Sauce
This Sicilian Pesto Sauce is a harmonious blend of aromatic basil, tangy grape tomatoes, toasted almonds, crushed red pepper, garlic, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, and olive oil, plus a secret ingredient to give it a bright summery flavor. Made in less than 20 minutes, this easy sauce can be made ahead of time and tossed with your favorite pasta or roasted potatoes. This pesto sauce is also delicious when spread on sandwiches or on crostini as an appetizer. This easy summer recipe might become your go to pasta sauce this season!
Strawberry Negroni
My Strawberry Negroni recipe is a fresh twist on the classic Negroni cocktail. This cocktail recipe combines the sophistication of gin, sweet vermouth, and my Strawberry Infused Campari, which adds a very subtle flavor to this cocktail’s signature bitterness. It is the perfect apéritif to any spring or summer evening meal. A quick and easy cocktail recipe!
Tangy Fresh Herb Potato Salad
The perfect side dish during warmer weather months, this super flavorful Tangy Fresh Herb Potato Salad is a must try recipe! Tender red creamer potatoes are steamed, then tossed with a delicious tangy dressing that is filled with fresh herbs like dill, parsley, and chives, along with chopped celery and pickles to give it some texture. A healthier version of a traditional American side dish with a unique twist that can easily be made vegan or dairy free!
