Italian Eats
Cheese, pasta, and bread—three words that mark this episode's menu. Jo shares a well-rounded lineup of Italian eats, starting off with Pink Baked Ziti, a favorite of the Gaines girls. On the side, she pairs homemade garlic-parmesan butter with French Bread from Magnolia Table, Volume 3 to bake Roasted Garlic Parmesan Toast. She also shares her Antipasto Salad, a bed of arugula tossed with salami, Parmesan, cherry tomatoes, and a sun-dried tomato vinaigrette to add some fresh color.
For a twist on the classic Italian dessert, Jo deconstructs cannoli into pillowy chips dusted with powdered sugar (for good measure) and served alongside whipped ricotta-mascarpone dip laden with vanilla bean.
Time to get cooking! And remember: cheese plus pasta plus bread always equals a good time.
