Zucchini lasagna in a loaf pan with prosciutto and

Zucchini lasagna in a loaf pan with prosciutto and mozzarella is my new obsession. If you haven’t seen the viral video originally shared by @thediaryofsonia, you must check it out. When i saw sonia share this recipe, i had to recreate it. Sonia calls this dish “sformato di zucchine” and it’s absolutely outstanding. The layers of prosciutto and fior di latte mozzarella are everything you need for the perfect bite. In my opinion, there’s nothing better than parmigiano reggiano, fior di latte, and prosciutto layered between thin slices of zucchini. If you give this recipe a try, please leave me a comment below. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Theres a secret to making the most refreshing summertime orzo pasta salad! My secret ingredient is freshly squeezed orange juice. The orange juice gives this salad the lightest most refreshing taste with a hint of sweetness. Whenever i serve this salad on the table i get bombarded with questions on how to make it. Now that you know my secret, please give it a try this summer when you’re hosting or bring it along if you’re being hosted. I promise, this salad will be first to disappear from the table. This recipe is the perfect side for meal-prep and you can make it ahead of time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

My creamy broccoli ricotta pasta will be your new

My creamy broccoli ricotta pasta will be your new favorite dish. The sauce is not only delicious, it’s nutritious made with hidden veggies which you’ll never know are in here. This sauce is the perfect way to sneak in veggies if you have picky eaters. To make this a kid-friendly pasta dish you can also call it “green monster” pasta and have fun with it by using kid-friendly pasta shapes as well. The ricotta in this dish makes the sauce super creamy and light but feel free to use cottage cheese if you’re looking to boost up the protein. Broccoli, spinach, onions and garlic are all a nutritional powerhouse full of vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants so don’t be afraid to load up on the sauce! If you like this recipe, please let me know below and feel free to make it your own. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4 cups broccoli, cut into florets
1 sliced yellow onion
4 cloves of garlic
drizzle of olive oil
salt, to taste
400 grams pasta of choice (100 grams per person)
½ cup ricotta
½ cup grated parmigiano reggiano
1 cup baby spinach, or a handful
1 cup of pasta water (or filtered water)
