Greek Taco from The Food Network

Jeff Mauro really captures all the classic gyro flavors in this simplified Greek pita "taco." We added a little extra spice by making a harissa hot sauce to go with it. read more >

Make It Italian : The Taste and Technique of Italian Home Cooking

Arugula Salad : page 413

Easy and inexpensive salad option that tastes great every time. Warning, though, do not dress too early or the arugula will begin to wilt. Prepare and serve immediately.

Baked Pasta With Mushrooms and Ham : page 166

I liked this dish alright. It's a bit bland, though, so folks who like things a bit more spicy might like to add red pepper flakes in addition to the black pepper called for in the recipe.

Fennel, Mushroom, and Parmesan Salad : page 417

I was not particularly fond of this salad, I think it was the fennel that did it for me. It was a hit with others, however, and was very easy to make.

This is one of my favorite comfort pasta dishes in this book. I've tried both variations and found them each to be equally fantastic depending on what veggies you have in the house and what you're in the mood for. Easy to make as well.

Excellent vegetarian lasagna. This does not use traditional red sauce, but it's fabulous anyway. Easy to put together and bakes up great.

Macaroni With Outlaws Broccoli Sauce : page 133

This is a great alternative to pasta salad when you're looking for a warm weather pasta dish. The raisins add an interesting element that I really enjoyed.

Nonna's Chicken and Egg Soup : page 88

I love this simple soup. Others find the egg a bit strange, but on a cold day with just the basics in the cabinet, this is perfect!
