Serves 6-8

Ingredients

2 tsp. kosher salt, divided, plus more

1 large onion

6 garlic cloves

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 14.5-oz. can crushed tomatoes

2 jars of Bellisari’s Calabrian and Sweet Tomato Fennel Spread

1 tsp. dried oregano

¾ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

Small bunch of basil, divided

2 10-oz. packages frozen spinach, thawed

2 cups ricotta

1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

3 oz. store-bought grated Parmesan, plus more for serving

10 oz. dried lasagna noodles

2 8-oz. packages shredded low-moisture mozzarella

Directions

Place a rack in top-third of oven; preheat to 425°. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, get some prep work out of the way. Peel 1 large onion, then finely chop. Set aside on cutting board. Crush 6 garlic cloves with the side of a chef’s knife, then peel and coarsely chop.

Heat ¼ cup extra-virgin oil in a 12" ovenproof skillet over medium. Cook onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until onion is beginning to brown and soften, about 5 minutes.

Add 1- 14.5-oz. can crushed tomatoes, 1 tsp. dried oregano, ¾ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes, 3 whole basil sprigs, and 1 tsp. salt and two jars of Bellisari’s Calabrian and Sweet Tomato Fennel Spread. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is reduced and slightly thickened and flavors have melded, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and pluck out basil sprigs.

Meanwhile, place 20 oz. thawed spinach on a large clean kitchen towel and wring it out over the sink until no more water can be squeezed out. If you don't have any clean kitchen towels, you can also squeeze water out of the spinach by hand one small handful at a time or press it in a fine-mesh sieve. Whatever you do, just don't skip this step—waterlogged spinach will make the finished dish too soupy.

Mix spinach, 2 cups ricotta, 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, 3 oz. grated Parmesan, and remaining 1 tsp. salt in a medium bowl to combine.

Cook 10 oz. lasagna noodles in boiling salted water, stirring occasionally and separating with a spatula to keep them from sticking, 4 minutes (they'll be very al dente at this point, but will finish cooking in oven). Drain noodles and leave in colander until ready to assemble.

Using a ladle, transfer 3 cups sauce to a medium bowl, leaving just a thin layer of sauce behind. Spread to coat bottom of pan.

Arrange noodles in a single layer over sauce in pan, breaking up a few sheets to fit and cover the whole surface. Top noodles with one-third of tomato sauce, spreading evenly with a spatula. Using a spoon, dollop half of the ricotta mixture in small mounds all over sauce. Sprinkle one-third of shredded mozzarella over ricotta mixture.

Repeat layering noodles, one-third of sauce, remaining ricotta mixture, and one-third of mozzarella one more time. Top mozzarella with another layer of noodles. Spoon any remaining sauce over, then top with remaining mozzarella.

Bake lasagna until browned and bubbling, 15–20 minutes. Sprinkle some Parmesan over, then garnish with remaining basil leaves.

Ingredients

1 pound of fresh Blueberries(can sub strawberries or add)

1 lime

2 tsp Lime juice, freshly squeezed or bottled

2 tablespoons of Bellisari’s Blue Cheese, Honey & Shallot Spread

2 sheets 1 box of puff pastry dough

3 tbsp Granulated sugar

2 1/2 tsp vanilla

3 tbsp Butter

1 8-ounce block Cream cheese

Directions:

Adjust your oven rack to the center position. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Place one thawed-out sheet of puff pastry on a lightly-floured surface and unfold it. Cut out four squares from the sheet of puff pastry.

Score dough before putting in the oven.

While baking in the oven, the scoring will encourage the puff pastry dough to lightly rise in a beautiful way around the fruit and cream cheese filling. Prick the center of the dough a few times with a fork.

Repeat this cutting-out process for the second sheet of puff pastry dough. Gather the dough scraps together, roll them out, and create two additional puff pastry circles. Place the rounds on baking sheets lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Add the cream cheese, Bellisari’s Blue Cheese, Honey & Shallot Spread, granulated sugar, lime zest, lime juice, and vanilla to the bowl of a stand mixer. Blend until all ingredients are incorporated, and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Place two tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each dough round. With the back of a spoon, spread out the cream cheese leaving a 1/4-inch border.

On half of the puff pastry desserts, place rinsed and dried blueberries over the cream cheese.

Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients

1/4 cup Bellisari’s Saigon Street Sauce

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 pound thick-cut bacon (about 10 slices)

6 eggs

One bunch fresh parsley

Instructions

Arrange rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Layer the bacon on the rimmed baking sheet and brush each slice with Bellisari’s Saigon Street Sauce.

Bake for 15 minutes. Flip the slices and bake until the bacon is chewy, deeply caramelized, and the fat is rendered, 15 to 20 minutes more.

Remove the bacon from the oven and set aside until the sugar sets slightly, about 1 minute. Use tongs to transfer the slices to a clean sheet of aluminum foil or parchment paper. Cool. Slice into thin ¼ inch strips.

Using a cast iron skillet, cook each egg to your liking (I prefer over easy). Toss the bacon strips on the cooked egg and garnish with fresh parsley. *For a spicier version add a dash of cayenne pepper. 🌶
