Italian Cooking from Puglia
Puglia, in the heel of Southern Italy, is known for some of the most flavorful dishes you’ll ever taste. Learn to make Peporoni al Forno (stuffed peppers with anchovies and breadcrumbs), the region’s famous orecchiette pasta with meatballs, braised broccoli rabe with cannellini beans, and a specialty dessert, Sporcamusi (puff pastry filled with pastry cream). Enjoy an evening preparing Puglian recipes that are simple enough for weeknights but impressive enough to serve to guests.
