Indulge in a Flavorsome Italian Food Day: Irresistible Recipes for Your Feast

Let’s celebrate Italian Food Day on February 13th! We have some delicious recipes lined up, from classic Tuscan pasta and homemade ravioli to a hearty salad. Plus, we’ll show you how to make a tasty Calzone!

First up is a delightful dish from Andrea Messina, who runs the gourmet grocery ‘Joe and Sons’. She learned to cook from her grandmother, preserving her family recipes in a book called ‘At The Table’. Andrea brings us Chicken With Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Spinach inspired by her Tuscan roots. You can watch her in action and check out her recipe!

Next, we’re diving into fresh ravioli with the help of Dan Bavaro. His family owns Bavaro’s Neapolitan Pizzerias across Tampa, St. Pete, and Sarasota. Dan will guide you through making the dough, so be sure to catch the episode for his expert tips!

Now let’s travel to Umbria with a refreshing bread salad called ‘Panzanella’. Chef Kaytlin Dangaran, executive chef at the Bistro at the Sarasota Art Museum, shares this lovely dish with us. She has a fantastic culinary background, having started at the upscale Italian restaurant ‘Dell’Anima’. Tune in for her simple yet delicious recipe!

Lastly, I’ll share a personal favorite: an Easy Calzone, prepared with my son, Holden. It’s a fun activity, and we love the results! Don’t miss our family-friendly recipe.
