Easy to follow, rooted in tradition, and perfect for any day of the week.
Truffle & Herb Pasta
This truffle & herb dish was born from a fridge cleanout, but that doesn't mean it's not delicious. Maybe you have these ingredients in your fridge already, or maybe you want to visit us to try this meal out. Either way, we highly recommend it.
Artichoke & Mushroom Risotto
Risotto is an example of ultimate Italian savory decadence, bound only by the imagination. Here we've put together a simple but exceptionally flavourful variety using grilled artichokes, broth from our dried porcinis and the especially starchy carnaroli rice.
Pesto Pasta with Preserved Lemon
This quick and easy pasta will become your new go-to, and one the whole family will enjoy!
Kale Pesto Pizza
This kale pesto pizza hits so many flavour profiles: different types of salty from the pepperoni and cheeses, bitterness from the kale pesto, a hint of briney richness from the olives, and some nice acidity from the onions. A drizzle of Frankie's Organic Olive Oil rounds it all out, adding a touch of luxury to every bite.
Focaccia French Toast
Combine our house focaccia with other Ontario-made products to make this flavourful french toast. Though the dish is not traditionally Italian, this use of simple, local ingredients definitely honours Italian tradition. We're especially loving the chance to top it off with fresh Ontario strawberries, while they're in season. Breakfast at Alimentari looks good!
Gnocchi with Gorgonzola & Walnut Honey
Italians love their cheese and nothing pairs with pillowy gnocchi quite like gorgonzola and walnuts. The best type to use is gorgonzola dolce, which is a sweeter, creamier variety that melts beautifully into a sauce. This rich, creamy dish is garnished with honey and walnuts from Rosewood Estates Winery.
Grilled Pepper Pasta
This week it's grilled pepper pasta for dinner! This simple meal combines our fresh pasta with Italian peppers and cheese. It pairs well with white wine or cider - we tried Revel Cider's "Time & Place" and couldn't get enough!
