Pumpkin Cake {Torta di Zucca}
Have you noticed an abundance of PUMPKIN recipes floating around the blogosphere? Well I have and I LURVE it. We’re big pumpkin fans in our house and any excuse for me to make something with pumpkin is cause for celebration. I stock up on pumpkin puree in the market when I see it. You can absolutely make your own, and I do, but having a few cans on hand to bake with when the urge hits me is always a good thing.
Potato Pizza {Pizza alle Patate}
Now that we’ve shared HOW TO MAKE PIZZA DOUGH you must have known there were going to be MORE pizza recipes right ; ) And why not, it’s pizza. Everyone loves pizza! I know we do.

They’re not only a pretty face, oh no, they pair beautifully with sweet Italian sausage, fresh rosemary and cheese. Glorious cheese. Go ahead and get your grocery list ready, you’ll want to make this. Trust. Me.
Butternut Squash Soup {Crema di Zucca}
Crema di Zucca {Cream of Pumpkin Soup} is a simple, wonderful oh so creamy and velvety fall/winter soup. So much so, you won’t believe how incredibly easy it is to pull together. A little peeling, a little chopping a little simmering, a whirl in the blender and Voila! You’ll be dunking your spoon at warp speed into this bowl of bliss. So next time you see those gorgeous gourds in the market be sure to pick them up so you can make this!
How to Make Pizza Dough
It should come as no surprise that I fell in love with GOOD pizza while living in Italy. Did you know that all you need to make your own pizza dough are 5 simple ingredients. I’m betting you probably already have them in your pantry. If you have a stand mixer it will take you about 10 minutes to pull this pizza dough together. Then you walk away while it does it’s thing. It doesn’t get much easier than that. The hardest part will be deciding what you’re going to top your pizzas with, and in case you’re having a hard time deciding we have a few recipe suggestions for you.
Prugne al Vino {Plums Poached in Wine}
Simple is almost always better. At least I think so. Simple suppers, simple desserts, simple pleasures. Today we have a simple dessert that is certain to please. We’re poaching beautiful seasonal plums in wine with spices. It’s easy peasy and you can make this in less than 15 minutes. So there are really no excuses NOT to enjoy dessert ; )
Tartine alla Pizzaiola {Pizzaiola Tartines}
These tartines are an elegant and easy appetizer that you can pull together in nothing flat. It makes use of simple sandwich bread {perfect for that bread that might be a little on the stale side} and a few other ingredients that I’m betting you probably have on hand. And if you don’t you probably have something that would substitute nicely. I think it’s pretty fantastic you can make something so elegant out of everyday white sandwich bread!
Penne with Olives {Penne con Olive}
Did you know that October was National Pasta Month! Not that I need an excuse to make pasta or anything ; ) But since it is we should be celebrating! Today we’ve whipped up an oldie but goodie. A favorite from my childhood. Penne con Olive is simply Penne Pasta in a creamy tomato and olive sauce. The kicker in the sauce, Greek yogurt! I love a touch of tang.
Ravioli in Bianco {Ravioli with Garlic Cream Sauce}
If you have 15 minutes then you can make this meal. It’s perfect for a lunch or a light dinner. You will want to make sure you have bread. The sauce beckons for it. It demands it. And you’ll want some mints nearby too. Trust me on that one.
Torta di Funghi {Rustic Mushroom Tart}
If you’re not eating mushrooms, you should be. At least I think so. Beyond being extremely tasty they’re also really good for you. If you’ve been reading bell’alimento for any length of time you know we adore mushrooms. There are no shortage of mushroom recipes on this blog. This rustic tart might be one of my favorite mushroom recipes to date. It makes a spectacular appetizer for a party or a light lunch.
