Tomatoes and Haricots Verts With Anchovies
This time anchovies are not optional. They're an integral ingredient here, and it's worth seeking out quality brands. We love the oil-packed ones from Ortiz, Agostino Recca, and Merro.

Italian Sundaes with Nutella
As a dessert, fior di latte refers to gelato made without egg yolks so that the pure flavor of the sweet cream can shine. If you have a gelateria in your neighborhood, get a couple of pints to go. If not, use vanilla ice cream and your imagination.

Sugar Snap Pea Salad
