Josh Cary and Chef Tom Jackson talk about the history of the American, not Italian, classic Spaghetti, and Meatballs, and Chef Tom cooks up some from scratch Italian meatballs with marinara sauce.
Chef Tom is cooking up something special for our 100th recipe video. This reverse seared cowboy ribeye calls back to our very first video… but this time we add some special components to take a steak and make it into a meal.
Chef Tom cooks up a lasagna from scratch starting with homemade noodles, meat sauce, and a bechamel before layering it all together and baking it with a blend of two cheeses.
Chef Tom cooks up not one but three pizzas on the Uuni 3 Portable Wood Fired Oven. We like to think there’s a little something in here for everyone, so enjoy and let us know what you’d like to see us cook next.
Chef Tom cooks up a barbecue classic, the Moink Ball. This combination of Italian Beef meatballs and bacon is a standard snack at barbecue competitions around the country… but we’re going to go ahead and make our meatballs from scratch.
Pork loin is such a great cut of meat. It's super affordable. It's lean, but wonderfully tender and juicy, when cooked to the proper internal temperature. And there are a million ways to prepare it! One of our favorite things to do with pork loin is butterfly it and stuff it. Again, there are countless options for the filling. This time around we kept it simple, but the flavor is BIG!
This Italian take on the pot pie is a great weeknight meal that'll have your family eating within an hour of turning on the heat. Despite its simplicity, there is plenty of opportunity to experiment and cater this dish to your family's tastes!
Chef Tom creates a brilliant "one pot" Fettuccine Alfredo with Grilled Chicken on the Yoder Smokers YS640 Pellet Grill. This chicken alfredo recipe is simple, and you can cook the entire meal in 30 minutes so it is the perfect Italian recipe for a quick weeknight meal.
If you're looking for fun and creative ways to use your pellet smoker, this is a really cool one. We saw this over on TastingTable's website and had to give it a try ourselves. The Italian delicacy bottarga, is made of salted, cured fish roe, most often of the grey mullet which is found along coastlines. Of course, here in the middle of America, there is no egg more accessible than the chicken egg, so the choice to cure the yolk for the same effect makes total sense to us. The process is lengthy, though uncomplicated. It's a really fun little experiment that yields a new smoky, salty condiment to top your pasta, salads or breakfast dishes.
Chicken Parmesan is a lot of folks' favorite Italian dish. This recipe combines Chicken Parmesan with pizza (who doesn't love pizza?!) and transforms them into a party perfect pinwheel of finger food excellence!
Get set for a romantic Valentine’s with this simple dinner for two. We’re grilling strip steaks, topping them with a delicious compound butter and mushrooms along with some angel hair pasta. It’s not difficult to dress up steak and pasta with a few easy tricks!
Spaghetti is good. Pizza is awesome. Spaghetti Pizza (Spaghizza) is epic! I feel like most people would make pizza at home more often if it wasn’t for the headache of making the dough from scratch or having to go out and find a quality pre-made dough. It’s not even that it’s all that difficult, but it does require some time and planning.
Enter spaghetti crust. Most of us have spaghetti in the pantry. You might even have some leftover in the fridge. With the addition of a couple of ingredients, you can turn that spaghetti into pizza crust. Check it out!
For a delicious and creative way to serve pizza appetizers, give this recipe a try. For the dough, we’re using frozen dinner rolls, and the cast iron muffin pan gives the crust great texture. You can use your favorite sauce, cheeses and toppings and change it up as much as you like.
Porchetta, the Italian rolled roast that can be made with a number of pork cuts, is currently blowing the minds of the employees here at All Things Barbecue. It’s a simple process, really, though it requires some patience. Our take on this Italian classic features a pork loin and pork belly, both of which were brined before being rolled and tied together and reverse seared for maximum flavor and texture.
Forget elbow mac ‘n cheese, Cavatappi pasta is where it’s at. This spiralized noodle is perfect for holding all of that creamy, cheesy sauce that is topped with a layer of crunchy breadcrumbs, all of which is smoked to perfection!
Your gas grill is probably more versatile than you think. Most of us frequent grillers have pondered and tested the possibilities, but if you’re looking for a place to start, then try these delicious home-made cheesy breadsticks.
