Instructions

  1. 1 Place a baking sheet on the lowest rack of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. 2 Press pastry into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Cover with two layers of aluminum foil, then add pie weights or dried beans.
  3. 3 Slice heirloom and Roma tomatoes into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Remove seeds with your fingers and discard. Transfer six heirloom slices to a paper towel-lined plate; cover with more paper towels and set aside for decorating the pie. Arrange remaining heirloom slices and all Roma slices on a wire rack.
  4. 4 Place pie crust onto the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Place the wire rack with tomatoes onto a higher rack. Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake until the bottom of the pie crust has lost its translucent raw look and the edges have just started to color, 12 to 15 minutes.
  5. 5 Leaving tomatoes in the oven, remove pie crust and carefully lift out the foil and weights. Cover the edges with foil to prevent them from burning. Poke bottom of crust several times with a fork to keep it from puffing up. Return pie crust to the baking sheet and bake until light golden brown on the bottom, about 8 more minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  6. 6 Continue baking tomatoes until wilted, 15 to 20 more minutes (for a total of 40 minutes). Remove from the oven and let cool for about 15 minutes; keep the oven on.
  7. 7 While the tomatoes are cooling, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until some of the fat has rendered, about 5 minutes. Add leek; cook until bacon is crisp and leek is soft and brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a paper towel-lined plate and let cool, about 5 minutes.
  8. 8 Combine Cheddar, Fontina, mayonnaise, basil, egg, Dijon, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add bacon-leek mixture and mix until well combined.
  9. 9 Spread 1/3 of the cheese mixture into pie crust, then arrange 1/2 of the roasted tomatoes over top, alternating heirlooms and Romas; repeat layers once more. Spread remaining cheese mixture over top, then gently press in reserved fresh heirloom slices in a decorative pattern. Cover the edges with foil, leaving tomatoes uncovered.
  10. 10 Bake until browned and bubbly on top, about 40 minutes. Let cool completely before serving, about 1 hour.

Drain and run through a food mill or a ricer for a nice, smooth consistency. Place potatoes in a bowl and refrigerate until they are cool, 15 to 20 minutes; this will help keep them fluffy.

  5. 5 Cut dough into 4 equal parts. Roll 1/4 of the dough into a 3/4-inch log. Cut the log into 3/4-inch pieces. Roll the pieces over a gnocchi board or the back of a fork to create ridges and place onto a floured sheet pan in a single layer. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Let rolled gnocchi dry for 1 hour before cooking.

  2. 2 Increase heat to medium low. Add mushrooms and saute until juices are rendered, about 4 minutes. Add wine and simmer until reduced by 1/4, about 3 to 4 minutes. Increase heat to medium high. Add stock, parsley and pepper and simmer until sauce reduced to 1 cup, about 10 minutes.
  3. 3 Reduce heat to low. Top each chicken breast with a slice of prosciutto and a slice of fontina cheese. Return chicken to skillet and cook just until cheese melts. Transfer chicken to individual plates and top each with some of the mushroom sauce before serving.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place the wine and saffron in a cup or small bowl. Stir briefly, then let it sit. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion; cook and stir until transparent, about 3 minutes. Mix in the rice, and continue cooking and stirring until the rice has absorbed most of the butter.
  2. 2 Slowly stir the white wine and saffron into the rice, stirring continuously until the wine is absorbed and rice is creamy. Season with thyme, then pour in 1 cup of chicken broth at a time, cooking and stirring constantly until each cup of broth is absorbed before adding the next. Stop adding broth when the rice is tender. If you run out of broth, you may use water. Remove from the heat, stir in the Parmesan cheese and allow to cool until you can touch it without burning your hands.
  3. 3 Lightly grease a large cookie sheet with olive oil. Pour the risotto out onto the sheet and spread evenly. Place in the refrigerator for about 1 hour or until chilled.
  4. 4 When the rice is cool, roll small portions into balls about the size of golf balls. Tuck a cube of fontina cheese into the center of each one. Roll each ball in bread crumbs to coat.
  5. 5 Heat the olive oil in a heavy saucepan or deep fryer to 375 degrees F 190 degrees C). The oil should be about 3 inches deep. When the oil is hot, fry the arancini until they reach a golden orangish brown, about 3 minutes. Arancini literally means 'little oranges'. Cool for 5 minutes, then serve with any marinara sauce.

Instructions

  1. 1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and desired crispness is reached, 6 to 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels.
  3. 3 Add chopped chicken thighs, garlic salt, and cantanzaro herbs to skillet and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 6 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken to a plate.
  4. 4 Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until a pinch of flour sprinkled into the oil just begins to bubble. Whisk in flour to form a thick paste the consistency of cake frosting. Slowly add in milk, stirring constantly. Allow mixture to thicken, while stirring. Mix in fontina cheese, Parmesan, provolone, and sun-dried tomatoes. Stir to combine. Add drained pasta to sauce and mix well. Stir in cooked chicken and bacon.
