Italianish

Danny Freeman

Reinvent classic Italian American dishes with over 100 creative new recipes from Danny Loves Pasta’s Danny Freeman

Author and pasta expert Danny Freeman is known for his fun and vibrant approach to cooking. His first book, Danny Loves Pasta, made homemade pasta accessible to everyone. In his second book, Italianish, he’s expanding his recipes to cover the entire spectrum of Italian American cooking, with over 100 unique and easy twists on the classics.

If you like lasagna but don’t have time to make an entire one from scratch, try Danny's famous
Lasagna Soup. If you like the tomato-basil-mozzarella flavor combination of a caprese salad, try the Caprese Steak Sandwich with Italian Salsa Verde. For lovers of traditional cannoli, the No-Bake Chocolate Cannoli Cheesecake is sure to become a new favorite.

The book is designed to be as easy to follow as possible, with a recipe index that organizes recipes by the time the dishes take to prepare. From quick bites to special occasion meals, (or somewhere in between), these fun recipes are for everyone and for every night of the week.
