Canederli are dumplings from the Italian Alps closely related to Austrian and German dumplings. Filling, rich and easy to make.
Pasta, Risotto, Gnocchi
Barley Risotto
Barley risotto is an earthy, hearty variant on traditional rice risotto. My recipe uses barley, stock, cheese and shredded grouse.
Chanterelle Pasta
A fun, summertime recipe for chanterelle pasta: Pasta with chanterelle mushrooms, sweet corn, cherry tomatoes and basil. You could use other mushrooms, too, found or bought.
Risotto Recipes
Risotto is a classic Italian rice dish, as versatile as it is delicious. Here are 13 risotto recipes to help you make perfect risotto every time, with whatever you have on hand.
Polenta with Mushroom Ragu
A classic Italian mushroom ragu, made with a variety of mushrooms, wild or cultivated. Serve this with polenta or pasta.
Venison Casserole
My take on venison casserole is, more or less, baked ziti, a classic Italian American dish. Ground venison, sausage, pasta, cheese and tomatoes. What’s not to love?
Nettle Risotto
Stinging nettle risotto rocks. It is the essence of “green,” and is super healthy, too. What’s more, blanched nettles will keep their emerald loveliness even after a good 15 minutes of cooking, which makes a nettle risotto visually stunning. The dish itself is pretty simple: Risotto rice, cooked nettles, butter, shallot, garlic, a little pecorino
Arugula Pesto with Pasta
When life gives you arugula, you make arugula pesto. A peppery, bracing pesto that matches really well with homemade pasta, fish, shrimp, chicken, pheasant or quail.
