My mom’s classic spaghetti pie gets an upgrade with a cacio e pepe-inspired pasta base, rich parmesan mornay sauce, and a robust arrabbiata sauce with Italian sausage. Topped with melty mozzarella and crispy buttered panko, this comfort food casserole delivers irresistible flavors and nostalgic satisfaction.
James Park’s Fiery Meatballs combine Italian tradition with Asian flavors like chili crisp, gochujang, and soy sauce. These pork and beef meatballs, packed with mozzarella, basil, and onions, can be easily baked instead of pan-seared for a delicious dinner.
With just a few ingredients, carbonara can be a challenging dish to master, and I’ve yet to achieve perfection at home. While the flavor of this version was excellent, I think I needed to add a bit more pasta water as the dish ended up a bit dry.
