Italian Recipes

I was raised in a Sicilian family and my Italian recipes are the ones I cherish the most. Some of these recipes were passed down from my grandparents and others I learned through my career as a chef and traveling. There are appetizers, main courses, desserts and of course plenty of pasta.
