Rita Sodi

A simple homemade lime cordial and a touch of salt make this non-alcoholic cocktail just as special as any boozy option.

This star of this springtime spritz is an easy homemade rhubarb syrup.

Vibrant extra-virgin olive oil, instead of butter, adds the finishing touch to this lemon risotto.

All your favorite classic Italian flavors plus a hit of fresh mint make these braised artichokes an absolutely irresistible spring side.

If there is a lot of liquid in the pan when the spinach is done, drain it before adding the beans.

If you pour the bubbly too quickly, the drink will foam up and over the edge of the glass.

Straining the ricotta will tighten the filling, making it easier to roll. Let it hang out in a sieve while you’re measuring everything else out.
