Ratatouille

This one-pot Ratatouille is easy, packed with vegetables, and so tasty! Vibrant flavors of ripe tomatoes, eggplants, zucchini, bell peppers, and a medley of aromatic herbs and spices are simmered together to create a pot of deliciousness. Add this to your dinner menu this week and pair it with the 2022 Lolati Syrah.

Creamy Asparagus Pasta With Peas and Mint

I absolutely love all the spring produce that is in season right now—peas, asparagus, artichokes, and beets; it’s so delicious! Here is a recipe from the NY Times that is the perfect way to savor these seasonal flavors. Pair it with the Lolati 2022 Sauvignon Blanc!

New York Strip Steak with Brandied Mushrooms and Fresh Thyme

When Ron and I first started dating, he took me camping or “glamping” and he made me this dish. I had never been camping before and I fell in love with it AND him. We served it with grilled asparagus and a salad. I hope you try it too and love it as much as we do!

Orange, Olive, and Basil Pasta

In celebration of Mother’s Day, I wanted to feature one of my mom’s favorite pasta recipes. It’s fresh, easy, and perfect for warm, sunny days. She likes to pair it with the 2022 Lolati GSM. Enjoy!
