Instant Italian works to take favorite Italian dishes and make them quick and easy for modern home cooks. Drawing on inspiration from her childhood visiting family in Calabria, Anna is known for her ingenious spins on familiar dishes. Whether she is transforming pasta with a snackable fried version (just minutes in an air fryer), perfecting a deeply flavored chicken cacciatore for an easy sheet-pan supper, or putting a creative twist on desserts like affogato mug cake and cannoli icebox cake, Anna is always finding fun and unique ways to update meals while still keeping the flavors true to their roots.
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.
