Pasta with Guanciale, Radicchio and Ricotta

Go to Recipe

To make this rich pasta, chef Nancy Silverton sautés guanciale (cured pork jowl) and then cooks the radicchio and red onions in the rendered fat. She likes to use a little-known pasta called calamarata—which looks like thick squid rings—to catch the sauce, but any wide, tubular pasta is great.

At her dinner parties, she often serves this 15-minute frittata as a side dish, so guests can cut wedges at the table.

Herbed Chickpea Bruschetta

Lamb Meatballs with Red Pepper and Chickpea Sauce

Go to Recipe

Nancy Silverton got this hearty meatball recipe from Matt Molina, the former chef de cuisine at Campanile. When the meatballs are almost cooked through, she pushes them to one side of the skillet and adds the ceci (Italian for chickpeas). That way everything soaks up the flavor of the luscious roasted red-pepper sauce.
