🍗 Nonna Pacini’s Eggplant Parmesan – A beloved family recipe passed down through generations! Thinly sliced eggplant is lovingly breaded, lightly fried to golden perfection, and layered with rich marinara, fresh basil, and melted mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Baked until bubbly and beautifully crisp on top, this hearty dish is pure Italian comfort—just like Nonna used to make.
🍝 Nonna Martini’s Rigatoni Della Mamma – Straight from Nonna’s kitchen! Homemade tube-shaped pasta smothered in a luscious pomodoro cream sauce with tender zucchini and gooey gouda cheese—classic, cozy, and unforgettable.
🥔 Nonna Fannuci’s Pillowy Potato Gnocchi – Tossed in a brown butter, sage, and prosciutto sauce—melts in your mouth!
🍞 Nonna Rinaldi’s Homemade Focaccia Bread – Golden and fluffy, topped with fresh herbs and olive oil.
🍋 Nonna Alunni’s Italian Lemon Cheesecake – Light, luscious, and finished with toasted almonds for the perfect bite of sweet citrus heaven.
