My unfilted thoughts on DANCING WITH THE STARS 🕺🪩

#ad Getting back into our weeknight dinner routine with Zucchini Pesto Gemelli Pasta with pancetta & Parmigiano, made with @barilla Blue Box Gemelli. 💙🍝 My fiancé recently moved in, and we’re making it a priority to slow down, disconnect from the busy day, and get back to the table together. Simple, cozy, and made to be shared, because even on busy weeknights, dinner at home can still feel special.

#ad Tiramisu French toast is the perfect excuse to have dessert for breakfast ☕ We’re swapping the traditional ladyfingers for @Rustik Oven Sourdough, which makes the perfect sponge for all those tiramisu-inspired flavors. It’s slow-fermented for 12 hours, giving it that artisanal flavor and hearty texture that soaks up the coffee custard while still holding together beautifully. Top it with mascarpone cream, cocoa powder and fresh berries and you’ve got a café-style breakfast made right at hom

Diving into all the details from my end-of-summer dinner party here 🤍 Such a fun night with family, friends, and way too much food. Huge shoutout to @carolinagelen for the chicken recipe inspiration, it was such a hit! Let me know if you want more details or recipes for anything I made 👀

Home for a week & already back out of the country 😭😭😭 but seriously love Montreal SO MUCH I could move here easily. #vacationtransition #travel #montreal

Also, let me know if you’d be interested in a more depth pig prep and cook video! Most importantly, stay tuned for part 2 tomorrow to watch it all come together and see how the pig came out!

When cooking for a crowd, pasta al forno is always a good idea 🔥 This is my go-to recipe whenever I am cooking for a large group of people. It’s really easy to batch, can be made ahead and is always a crowd favorite!! 🤩 Get the full free recipe on my website - alessandraciuffo.com search PASTA AL FORNO!!! #pastaalforno #italiancooking #cookingforacrowd #flavorsbyalessandra https://alessandraciuffo.com/the-best-ricotta-sausage-pasta-al-forno/

Fried calamari is one of the most elite appetizers, prove me otherwise 🦑🔥 It’s light, crispy, tender and SO delicious. Growing up by the sea, my father has had this dish LOTS of time and it still remains one of his favorites to eat and make. That tradition was passed on to my brother and I. I especially love this dish around the holidays. At my house we traditionally make this on Christmas Eve or day, frying it just as the guests arrive and serving it hot with a squeeze of lemon and some flakey
