Cozy Italian Supper Recipes
In the tradition of our own Nonna Pat’s long-standing Sunday suppers, this week’s box includes fixings for a meal to share with your nearest and dearest: Creamy risotto topped with Grana-style cheese and locally-foraged wild mushrooms, plus organic Skagit River Ranch sausage, Kalamata olive bread and a moist lemon olive oil-infused cake. Side dish-worthy produce including Lacinato kale, sweet fennel and blood oranges, and an expressive Montepulciano wine, polish off this robust Italian meal.
Here are a few recipe ideas for the week:
