Here is an easy but infallible marriage of a few humble ingredients. Every town, village and hamlet in the Marche area has a variation on this chicken merrylands recipe, but what they all share is a strong sense of regional pride and, most importantly, glorious flavours. This keeps well in the fridge for up to 1 day. As it cools the sauce will firm up, so make sure you reheat it thoroughly to allow it to return to its liquid state.

Italian Parmesan Crusted Lamb Chops - crisp, succulent and delicious, they're what you want for dinner!

Italian Parmesan Crusted Lamb Chops

single rib lamb chops, flattened

Parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated

eggs, lightly beaten

bread crumbs

Vegetable oil

Salt & black pepper,

Place each chop between two pieces of wax paper and pound the meat until thin, being careful to avoid the bone.

Turn the chops, on both sides, into the grated cheese.

Press the chops firmly against the cheese making sure it adheres. Tap the rib gently against the side of the bowl so that any excess cheese will fall off.

Dip each chop into the egg, allowing any excess egg to flow back into the bowl.

Turn the chops in the bread crumbs, coating both sides.

Heat about 1/4-inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot &#8211; place chops in the pan. Fry on both sides until a golden crust is formed.

Remove from pan, season with salt and pepper.

These look incredibly crispy and delicious, Annie! Talk about a perfect meal for entertaining or Sunday supper! Have a wonderful week ahead :)  XOXO

The calzone of sweets, these raspberry and ricotta filled Panzerotti's are oozing with flavour, the perfect finishing touch on your home-cooked Italian supper.

Sweet panzerotti with ricotta and raspberries

tbs milk, plus extra if needed

Straight from the oven, juicy berries and the sweet aroma of this Strawberry Mint Crostata is enough to make you stop whatever you're doing, and grab a fork.

&nbsp;

Strawberry Mint Crostata

cups all-purpose flour

cup plus 2 Tbsp. ice cold water

Tbsp. honey

lb. of fresh strawberries, rinsed and sliced

mint

strawberries,

milk

sugar

In a large mixing bowl, place the flour, 3/4 cup cubed butter, and water.

Mix with your hands until everything is combined and the dough becomes one solid mass.

Turn the dough onto a well-floured board and form into a disk.

Wrap the disk with plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

In the meantime, prepare your strawberries.

In a large pan, over medium heat, melt 2 Tbsp. butter, honey, and chopped mint.

Add 1 lb. sliced strawberries, and cook until heated through and caramel-y. The berries will break down into a thick sauce. Some of the berries will maintain their shape, we want this. Cook for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Place a piece of parchment on a baking sheet, then roll out the dough on the parchment to form a 12 inch circle.

Leaving about 1 1/2 inches around the perimeter, spread the strawberry mint mixture in the center of your dough. Top with remaining strawberries.

Gently fold the border up and around the berries, pleating to make a circle.

Brush milk around the edges of the dough and sprinkle the entire crostata with sugar.

Bake for 40 minutes until the crust is golden.

What a gorgeous crostata, Annie - perfect for Valentine's Day! Loving the flavor combination of strawberries and mint and that crust looks like flaky perfection.

Just lovely and a splendid treat indeed! Strawberries are especially lovely in Winter I think. A taste of Summer is always welcome this time of year :)

Strawberry and mint is so perfect together! This looks delicious Annie. Your crust is on point. Happy Valentine's Day weekend!

So delicious and so easy Annie! A little piece of summer during this very cold winter!
