My version of Linda Steidel’s dishes. Roasted balsamic tomatoes, roasted baby zucchini, ciabatta bread warm with butter and spaghetti with pesto, arugula and pecorino romano cheese served over roasted balsamic tomatoes. For dessert? Tiramisu. Lady fingers soaked in freshly brewed espresso then layered with a mascarpone, cognac, vanilla and sugar cream and dusted with cocoa powder.  

Crustless Vegetable Quiche (nix the buttery flaky super fattening crust and opt for this delectable crowd pleaser)

Gruyere Cheese, Leeks, Mushrooms, Tomatoes and Spinach combine to make this a wholesome but satisfying quiche. The best part? It’s not ridiculously eggy so you can actually focus on the vegetables.
