    Old School Italian Recipes

    These old-school Italian recipes are the ones you would find in a classic red sauce joint — the kind of Italian restaurant where they serve you enough food to feed an army. We make cooking these recipes at home easy and the results are exactly what you'd find if you went out for dinner! Just play a little Frank Sinatra and you'll feel like you're sitting out to eat!
