Instant Italian

Anna shows how to make decadent tiramisu brownies by combining hazelnut paste, melted chocolate, and a light whipped cream mixture. 

Not sure what to do with leftover rice? Anna transforms it into two show-stopping dishes. She reinvents an Italian classic with arancini casserole, a cheesy, prosciutto-packed bake that tastes just like a rice ball. 

Anna shows just how irresistible cheese can be in two dishes. She starts with hand-cut cheesy fries paired with an Italian-style spicy ketchup, then bakes cheesy frittata muffins loaded with eggs, making them perfect for a quick and satisfying breakfast on the go. 

Extra virgin olive oil takes center stage as Anna whips up midnight pasta, a classic spaghetti dish Italians serve to guests at the end of the night. She then transforms citrus-infused olive oil into a tender limoncello olive oil cake, dusted lightly with powdered sugar for a sweet finish. 

Anna proves that no two meatballs are alike as she reimagines her mother's beloved recipe into three unique dishes. A blend of beef, veal, and pork forms the base for cozy meatballs in a blanket delicate polpettini, and crispy smashed meatball tacos. 

Anna makes vegetables the star with two family-friendly dishes. She begins by roasting a whole cauliflower and serving it with a bright Italian salsa verde. 

No forks needed as Anna shares two playfully hands-on recipes. She starts with crispy baked chicken wings rubbed with her signature Italian spice blend, then serves a sweet surprise with cannoli nachos, a fun twist on the classic Italian dessert. 

Anna cooks up two quick and delicious one-pot recipes. She starts with chicken Florentine, a creamy dish with chicken, spinach, and a splash of white wine. She then prepares acqua pazza, or crazy water fish, a classic Italian seafood dish simmered with tomatoes and wine. 

Anna shows just how versatile garlic can be in two flavorful dishes. She starts with shrimp scampi meatballs, a playful twist on the Italian American favorite, then finishes with garlic bread pasta, a creamy, crunchy dish that's comfort in every bite.

Anna throws a puff pastry party featuring three baked delights. She begins with a spinach and artichoke crostata filled with fresh pesto, twists up savory pizza straws, and ends on a sweet note with chocolate-hazelnut swirls.
