Nona's Meatballs
This recipe is over 100 years old. I add a twist to the recipe (and a little sweetness) by adding some golden raisins, like my favorite restaurant in Provincetown, Mass., does.
Spaghetti Alla Carbonara
Marvelous recipe. I prepared it exactly as written and wouldn't change a thing.
Roasted Mushrooms, Garlic & Pine Nuts with Pasta

Better than Macaroni & Cheese
Much better than classic Macaroni and Cheese. This version still has lots of cheesy flavor but is baked with juicy tomatoes and lots of mushrooms. Serve with a simple salad and make with whole wheat macaroni for a serious boost to the health value that's packed with flavor. A great family casserole.
Cheesy Macaroni & Cheese with Spinach & Feta
One of the best homemade mac n' cheese I've ever had. The flavor of the sauce was excellent. Instead of provolone I use asiago cheese. The bits of feta and spinach made for nice variety. Bread crumb topping added another layer of crunchy texture.

Outstanding, the light herb and cheese enriched batter sealed in the juices and kept the chicken breast cutlets super moist.
