Keep it Fresh
Summertime recipes always create a colorful dish that allows the ingredients to shine. First, I make a beautiful Shrimp and Melon Salad with Basil Mint Pesto. I connect with my grandson, Lorenzo, to see his version of my Peaches in White Wine. Then a family favorite, Mezze Rigatoni with Raw Tomato Sauce – with no cooking, it is a dish that truly celebrates the freshness of the summer season!
