Sides

The right side dish can make a meal, and these easy side dish recipes let seasonal vegetables shine. In summer, toss sweet, smoky Oven Roasted Peppers with olive oil, vinegar, basil and garlic, or make a Neapolitan classic, Marinated Zucchini with Mint (Zucchini alla Scapece). Fire up the grill for Grilled Zucchini with Fresh Ricotta and Basil, or bring a big bowl of Pesto Pasta Salad to your next cookout. When the weather cools, try a sweet and sour Roasted Kabocha Squash Agrodolce with caramelized onions, olives and pine nuts. And any time of year, Italian stuffed tomatoes, Pomodori Ripieni, baked with panko, Parmesan and herbs, are an easy vegetarian side.
