Seven Summer Dishes Inspired by Italy

 

I’m pinching myself that I’m currently abroad and exploring Italy (almost) top to bottom. Italian cuisine is my ultimate indulgence, and I’d probably pick pasta or pizza over any other food group if I were given the ultimatum. Since it’s not feasible to inhale carbs at that level every day while back home, I find subtle ways to incorporate Italian flavors and methods in my weeknight cooking. This collection of recipes celebrates just that!

My pasta recipes from the archives seem endless, but I selected just a handful of favorites that can carry you through the week with ease and, at first bite, transport you to Italy.
