Vegetarian

A meatless main still needs depth. I build it with umami-rich ingredients, caramelized vegetables, cheese, and legumes so no one at the table asks where the meat went.

Bake my Pumpkin Manicotti in Béchamel Sauce or a pan of Italian Ratatouille. Fry crispy Black Eyed Pea Fritters with Sofrito Dipping Sauce, or toss a Panzanella Salad with summer tomatoes.
