Pasta starters

If you must know something about me, I’m pretty much a huge sucker for anything fried or cheesy, but come on who isn’t? These cheesy arancini (rice balls) are the perfect appetizers for any party, event or even just because. Arancini is known as “adult mozzarella sticks”, but these crispy, deep fried Italian balls of rice are oozing with the ooey-gooey mozzarella cheese filling.

We adore this caprese puff pastry! Flaky puff pastry is layered with fresh basil pesto, juicy ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese and a balsamic glaze. It's a lovely weeknight meal or the perfect summer appetizer!
