Artichoke and Ricotta Crostata
The magic of this crostata (similar to a galette or freeform pie) is that it is delicious served warm, room temperature, or even cold - making it a perfect dish for a potluck or brunch spread. The rustic golden-brown crust with a creamy, herby ricotta filling topped with a sunburst of Italian artichokes is a delicious combination that feels just right for springtime.

Caprese Frittata
For the ultimate Italian breakfast, look no further than this caprese frittata. It combines the classic elements of a caprese salad — fresh mozzarella, basil, and tomatoes — with fluffy scrambled eggs. It's perfect for breakfast or Sunday brunch for a crowd. It comes together so quickly, and it's easy to slice up for sharing. It ensures that the eggs stay moist and fluffy, plus it adds some richness.

Italian Cinnamon Rolls
These cinnamon rolls are a play on traditional Pane di Pasqua, aka Italian Easter Bread! Pane Di Pasqua is a classic Easter treat in Italian culture. It's a sweet, fluffy yeast bread that's typically formed into a wreath and studded with colorful eggs as a centerpiece. There are different variations all over Italy — some that are even savory with sausage! — but the sweet version is the most common.

Resta Di Como Easter Bread
This delicately sweet and fluffy bread originates from Lake Como in the north of Italy. It’s traditionally baked for Easter celebrations, and the design meant to resemble a grain of wheat symbolizes the rebirth of spring. Similar in flavor to a panettone, this bread is perfumed with vanilla and orange marmalade throughout and studded with raisins. Enjoy it for breakfast, dessert, or as the perfect bite with afternoon tea.
