Dinner

This colorful, low-fat take on the traditional stir-fry is a hearty, healthy alternative.

Although not a true risotto, this low-fat version of the Italian classic is creamy enough to pass for the real thing.

Ricotta Salata, a variation of ricotta that is pressed, salted and aged, gets upgraded with hot chile paste and charred bell peppers.

This dish is my family’s favorite weeknight dinner.

This dish goes well with salad and pasta.

Here, tropical fruit garnishes and the popular salad mix known as mesclun—French for “mixture”—make an attractive bed for broiled fish.

A meaty bolognese sauce is as much a part of an Italian heritage as pizza or spaghetti. This version is a good introduction to tempeh for those who've never used it.

For extra flavor, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the paillards before topping with tomatoes.

Saltimbocca literally means "jump into the mouth," an apt description for this flavorful Italian entrée.…
