CHAPTER 1
STARTERS AND SOUPS
AS EVERYONE GATHERS AT THE TABLE, POUR THE WINE AND OFFER ICONIC APPETIZERS SUCH AS BRUSCHETTA AND CROSTINI. THEN, FOR THE FIRST COURSE, OR PRIMO, SERVE A TRADITIONAL ITALIAN SOUP.
Warm Olives with Rosemary, Garlic, and Lemon
ACTIVE 10 MIN
TOTAL 25 MIN
MAKES 1 POUND
New York chef and frequent judge on Chopped, Marc Murphy serves these olives warm to accentuate the marinade’s lemony flavor. Variations on this hors d’oeuvre are endless as you play with different mixtures of herbs or add crushed red pepper.
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
Strips of zest from 1 small lemon
1 small rosemary sprig
2 small garlic cloves, thickly sliced
1 lb. mixed oil- and brine-cured olives, such as kalamata, Niçoise, Moroccan, cracked green Sicilian and Cerignola (3 cups)
In a medium saucepan, combine oil with lemon zest, rosemary and garlic and cook over moderate heat until the garlic just begins to brown, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in olives and let stand for at least 15 minutes before serving.—MARC MURPHY
MAKE AHEAD The olives can be prepared up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated; warm gently before serving.
WINE A Côtes du Rhône.
Ricotta and Roasted Tomato Bruschetta with Pancetta
ACTIVE 15 MIN
TOTAL 50 MIN
SERVES 8
Peak-season tomatoes make all the difference in this simple bruschetta from author Susan Spungen. They’re the perfect accompaniment to a bowl of soup or a large salad, or, to turn them into two-bite hors d’oeuvres, cut the bruschetta crosswise into strips.
10 oz. multicolored cherry tomatoes
2 garlic cloves, thickly sliced
5 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 thin slices pancetta
32 sage leaves
1 lb. fresh ricotta cheese
8 slices country bread, cut ¼-in. thick and toasted
Flaky sea salt, for serving
1. Preheat oven to 325° F. In a bowl, toss tomatoes with garlic and 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with kosher salt and pepper. Transfer the tomatoes to one side of a parchment paper–lined baking sheet and lay pancetta slices out on other side. Bake for 25 minutes, until pancetta is crisp. Transfer pancetta to paper towels to drain, then crumble.
2. Roast tomatoes for 10 more minutes, until bursting and lightly caramelized. Transfer tomatoes and any rendered fat from pancetta to a bowl.
3. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat remaining ¼ cup olive oil over moderately high heat. Add sage and fry until bright green and crisp, 30 to 45 seconds. Drain sage on paper towels; reserve oil for another use.
4. Spread ricotta on toasts and top with tomatoes and crumbled pancetta. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt and pepper, and top toasts with sage leaves. Serve immediately. —SUSAN SPUNGEN

Venetian Spritz
TOTAL 5 MIN

Tender, sweet, and buttery, Italian Castelvetrano olives are an ideal garnish for this sweet-bitter aperitivo. Their gentle brininess pairs beautifully with the traditional orange-scented drink.

1 oz. Campari
Ice
2 oz. Prosecco
2 oz. club soda
Orange slice and Castelvetrano olive, for garnish
Pour Aperol and Campari into an ice-filled wineglass. Top with Prosecco and club soda. Garnish with an orange slice and olive. —F&W

Ice

½ oz. gin
½ oz. sweet vermouth
½ oz. Campari
Soda water
1 large strip of grapefruit zest, for garnish
Fill a chilled collins glass with ice. Add tonic syrup, gin, vermouth, and Campari and stir well. Top with soda water, garnish with grapefruit zest, and serve. —Brooks Reitz
Prosecco-Saba Cocktail
TOTAL 2 MIN
MAKES 1 DRINK
This tart Italian cocktail—comprised of just two ingredients—can be mixed before serving or served as a layered drink for guests to stir themselves.
1 tsp. saba (see Note)
About 4 oz. Prosecco, chilled
Pour the saba into a flute. Carefully add the Prosecco without disturbing the saba. Stir in the saba just before drinking. —F&W
NOTE Saba, the Italian condiment made from reduced grape must, is available at specialty food stores and by mail order.
Bruschetta with Peperonata
TOTAL 30 MIN
SERVES 6
Chef Mario Batali tops crisp, garlic-rubbed bread with tender, sweet peppers enlivened with chiles and anchovy paste.
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
½ Spanish onion, thinly sliced
2 small red bell peppers, cut into thin strips
2 small yellow bell peppers, cut into thin strips
2 serrano chiles, seeded and cut into thin strips
2 tsp. anchovy paste
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp. sherry vinegar
1 tsp. finely chopped oregano
6 ¾-in.-thick slices from a round rustic loaf
1 garlic clove, peeled
1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil until shimmering. Add onion, bell peppers, serranos, anchovy paste and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until vegetables start to soften and brown on the edges, about 4 minutes. Add vinegar and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until peppers are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in oregano and season peperonata with salt and pepper; keep warm.
2. Preheat a grill pan. Brush bread slices on both sides with olive oil. Grill over moderately high heat, turning once, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Transfer grilled bread to a plate and rub with garlic clove. Spoon peperonata on top and serve warm. —MARIO BATALI
Crostini with Scamorza and Peperonata
TOTAL 1 HR
SERVES 6
New York City chef Andrew Carmellini tops crusty grilled bread with a mildly spicy mix of peppers and scamorza, a cow’s milk cheese that resembles a dry mozzarella. He swears by dried Calabrian oregano pulled right off the stem as the perfect finish to the tasty crostini.
½ lb. mixed baby sweet peppers, stemmed and halved if small or quartered if large
1 small red onion, sliced ¼ in. thick
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
Kosher salt and pepper
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
¼ cup chopped pickled hot peppers, such as peperoncini and banana, plus 2 Tbsp. brine from the jar
¼ cup finely chopped parsley
1 Tbsp. finely chopped oregano
6 1-in.-thick slices of Italian or ciabatta bread
6 oz. scamorza cheese, cut into 6 slices
1. Heat a grill pan. In a medium bowl, toss sweet peppers and sliced onion with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. In 2 batches, grill over moderate heat, turning occasionally, until lightly charred in spots, 8 to 10 minutes per batch. Return to the bowl. Keep grill pan on.
2. In a small skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add garlic and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened but not browned, about 2 minutes. Scrape garlic and oil into the pepper mixture. Add pickled peppers and their brine and toss well. Stir in parsley and oregano and season peperonata with salt and pepper.
3. Brush bread with olive oil and grill over moderately high heat, turning once, until lightly charred, about 2 minutes total. Transfer to a platter and top with scamorza. Pile peperonata on top and serve. —ANDREW CARMELLINI
