Receive Text UpdatesI have so many. Everyone loves my lasagna for sure but my favorite is my grilled chicken, sundried tomatoes and pesto with angel hair pasta. Always a hit with my family!
Who is your culinary inspiration?My Nana. From the time I could stand at the stove, she taught me everything from Sunday sauce and meatballs to chicken cutlets. I was always in the kitchen with her until she couldn't do it anymore so I took over and tried to make her proud. Miss her beyond words.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would love to take a trip and eat my way through Italy. Places off the tourist path, where I can really taste the regional flavors and bring something back home to my family that would knock their socks off!!
