Here are 12 of the Best Italian Recipes I Make Every Year
If you’ve followed my blog, you probably know about my southern Italian heritage. I love to share traditional, modern, and the best Italian recipes on my blog as a way for me to connect with my heritage. I’ve had the chance to visit Rome, Florence, Naples, Positano, and Milan, so I love to explore the different regions through my cooking and baking. I was supposed to travel to Venice this past summer but had to postpone that trip due to the pandemic.
I’ve made a lot of different classic Italian recipes over the years. A lot of them are focused on the holidays because I love to incorporate family recipes during the holiday season. Two recipes that people consistently love are my panettone and my wedding cookies – both are very traditional Christmas-time recipes that are always a hit with my family.
Nearly every Christmas eve since I can remember, my mom would make our family’s lasagna recipe. I’ve started incorporating other Italian cookie recipes during the holiday as another way to add more of my heritage to our holiday traditions.
