6 baby carrots
½ tsp. salt
2 tbsp Basil Infused Olive Oil

It only takes a few simple steps to make the rich sauce for this melt-in-your-mouth mainstay.

4 tbsp Truffle Olive Oil
4 tbsp all-purpose flour
4 cups milk

Think Nicoise salad meets tuna casserole and you’ll be somewhere in the ballpark of this recipe. Canned tuna is tossed with chopped tomatoes, olives, red onions, capers, parsley, Milanese Gremolata Olive Oil and Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic, and then tossed again with hot fusilli pasta and shredded Mozzarella cheese.The hot pasta melts the cheese into the tuna mixture. Make it ahead if you wish; if you do, warm it in the micr...
Most children love peanut butter. Here is a simple and delicious sauce that your child can help create in the blender.

Of course we LOVE to use our olive oils in just about everything we make, but in this case, you just have to use butter. (I know, even just saying the word butter around here is almost blasphemy.) But, of course, we've paired it with our amazingly delicious 18-Year Traditional Balsamic. This 15-minute recipe is so quick and easy and absolutely to die for!
18 to 20 ounces store-bought ravioli (cheese, mushroom, or squash)

Those kinds days call for pantry pasta dinner and this linguini with clam sauce is my favorite. This quick dinner is not only delicious, but it comes completely out of your pantry with the exception of the optional fresh parsley....
In the early days of Tampa, the cigar industry attracted immigrants from Cuba, Sicily and Spain. Before the days of trendy “fusion cuisine,” the immigrants were blending flavors in their cooking. Crab was a staple used in local recipes of all ethnicities because the waters of Tampa Bay were plentiful with blue crab. Every major ethnic group in Tampa ate this dish.
