25 Best Italian Loved Family Recipes

Here is a roundup of our family's favorite Italian American Best-Loved Recipes.


Starting out with homemade pizza and ending with mom's frittata.


Really, throughout the years, these recipes were the most asked for time and time again.


The kids loved every one of these easy Italian recipes and I would never have to ask twice if they wanted seconds, there were also never leftovers.


Besides these 25 delicious meals, we also love Italian pastries like St. Joseph's Day Zeppole, Italian holiday foods and keep the traditions going that mom and grandma instilled in use as children.


Mom and grandma made traditional Italian meals like pasta fagioli, sauteed escarole a classic favorite green, and pasta with ceci beans and we just loved everything that they considered depression foods back in the 1960s.


Now several years later, all of these are considered delicacies and hard to find in most restaurants, and I am thrilled that my kids have learned to continue our heritage in cooking these easy meals.

Eggplant Parmesan Pizza

Eggplant Parmesan Pizza is a great idea to satisfy eggplant parmesan and pizza lovers at the same time.

This pizza is very much like an open-faced sandwich of that favorite Italian vegetable casserole dish.

You may have had Eggplant rollatini, Eggplant Parmesan Casserole or even tried the famous Eggplant Sinatra Florentine recipes which are all fabulous by the way, so do try them if you love eggplant!

When mom would make fried eggplant, I always hoped there were leftovers for another meal and this would be my favorite, topping pizza with it.
