Everyone loves pesto, but most of us have only tried the basil-based "Pesto alla Genovese." It's one of my favorite things to eat, so Eva decided it was time I learned about some OTHER Italian pesto recipes... and I'm really glad she had the idea... youtu.be/aoFenuHFoCY

While Sicilians don't make anything they would call "pizza," they do have several, um, "pizza adjacent" recipes that Eva is sharing with us today. They're thick, bold and (compared to Neapolitan pizza) quick to make! Watch here! —> youtu.be/7hciB9wqI5w

A classic mistake that I always used to make was assuming that ALL Italian food can be found ANYWHERE in Italy. Don’t expect Neapolitan pizza in Rome, but DEFINITELY check out these Roman pizzas! Watch here! —> youtu.be/9wMnxzKxyq0
