Eggplant Parmesan Sandwich
This is an easy to follow recipe for making Eggplant Parmesan Sandwich. It just takes a few minutes to fix this sandwich. I have used tomato slices instead of marinara sauce. And for coating the eggplant, I have used a mix of Panko and Italian bread crumbs. You can just use Panko. It gives a nice flaky crust . You can also have two slices of eggplant parmesan in your sandwich each topped with marinara sauce and cheese. Any type of bread will do.

Half and Half Pizza
This is called Half and Half Pizza because of the two different sauce in it. I have used Alfredo sauce and marinara sauce. Alfredo sauce is a creamy, cheesy white sauce which usually accompanies pasta. Marinara is an Italian tomato sauce with onion, garlic and herbs. You can just use marinara sauce or Alfredo sauce or both just like how I have used. I like my pizza loaded with toppings. You can add any of your favorite vegetables or meat in the pizza. I feel less guilty because of adding all these vegetables. I like them sauted as well. Cheese is another important ingredient that makes pizza interesting. I have used fresh mozzarella and fontina cheese. I like to explore with different types of cheese. You can use your favorite cheese. Just mix and match or go with one type....

Fusilli with Spinach and Arugula Pesto
Fusilli is spiral shaped pasta and is widely used . I have made a Spinach Arugula Pesto inspired by Giada’s Spicy Pesto. I have tweaked it according to my taste and it was creamy and delicious.

Pasta Con Broccoli
Pasta Con Broccoli is one of my favourite Italian food. I first had it in one of the best Italian restaurant in Edwards ville, Illinois. From then, I desperately wanted to try this at home.

It was rich and creamy with cheese, sauce, butter, garlic, mushroom, lots of broccoli in cooked shells and seasoned with pepper. It is simple to make and delicious to have.
