Cozy Sunday 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: Satisfying pasta crafted from orecchiette, organic Italian sausage and iron-rich Swiss chard, plus Pain au Levain bread and our creamy Gorgonzola dressing and tart-sweet cranberries to accent a poached pear dessert. Side dish-worthy produce including fall Delicata squash, radicchio, parsnips and Brussels sprouts round out this robust Italian meal.
