Italian-American food is awesome. A cuisine of immigrants, it was enhanced by the availability of relatively cheap ingredients in America. It is, in that sense, a cuisine of excess - which illustrates, better than most, why Americans are so overweight as a people. But hey, if you are going to die of a heart attack, do so happily.

I usually only cook a few meals from any cuisine, but it was difficult walking away from this one - literally everything I made was great.

• Minestrone Soup
  A vegan version of this hearty soup
• Fettuccine Alfredo
  Heart attack on a plate, but so worth it.
• Baked Ziti
  Another delicious Italian-American classic
• Spaghetti and Meatballs
  Perfect meatballs. Really.
• Lasagna
  This beef and Italian sausage lasagna is all you want it to be.
• Vegan Lasagna
  No need for vegans to feel deprived.
• Chicken Scarpariello
  An amazing chicken stew
• Chicken Parmesan
  Another American classic
• Super Simple Vegan Tiramisu
