Author NotesCrostata is the delicious Italian version of a baked pie. Sweetened cheese is a common filling and this version, made with BelGioioso Ricotta Con Latte, BelGioioso Mascarpone, and studded with mini chocolate chips, plays on the classic cannoli combination. A flaky pastry crust encases the sweet cream and a lattice crust makes for a fancy finish. - Anna Francese GassTest Kitchen NotesThis recipe is presented in partnership with BelGioioso. -The Editors

This shareable tartufo ice cream is served all over Italy, but it’s super easy to make right at home. Having eaten this Italian dessert many times as a child, I was excited to make my own tartufo dessert so I could choose the flavor profile. To make this chocolate tartufo at home, you’ll need a small glass bowl, two flavors of ice cream and your favorite ice cream toppings, like cherries, chocolate fudge and crushed cookies.

While not as well known as pesto alla Genovese, lemon pesto is a delicious variation that adds a jolt of brightness. Used in Italy as both a pasta sauce or spread for crostini, lemon pesto is prepared in a similar way to classic pesto by combining basil with cheese, nuts and extra-virgin olive oil. But the addition of the lemon zest and juice gives it a unique flavor and color.

While the origins of this sandwich cookie are not confirmed, many believe it was created in Northern Italy, as it resembles the Austrian Linzer cookie. Bue means “ox” in Italian; the top cookie has a hole in the center, revealing the filling like a bull’s-eye.
I enjoyed these cookies in Rome, where I found them in every pastry shop I entered. The variety of fillings was endless, but I always grabbed the one with a thick layer of chocolate-hazelnut spread.

Chef notesThis puff pastry pizza from Sardinia is simple to make, delicious to eat and so pretty in presentation. You'll find them in pastry shops and bars all over the island, as a popular savory mid-morning snack. Like the Rustico these are puff-pastry pizzas, however, no need to make a bechamel and instead of rounds, they are square. After stuffing, the tops are scored with rows so as they puff in the oven, the filling begins to peek out from the center.

Chef notesMug cakes became quite the rage here in the States a few years back, and now, they have made it across the Atlantic to Italy. I was so excited to see Tazza di Torta popping up on menus during my last visit to Rome. I decided it would be fun to take my favorite Italian dessert, affogato, which is simply a scoop of gelato served with a hot pour of espresso on top, with mug cake. The cake is simple and gets a nice rich middle from the chocolate hazelnut spread.
