Buon Mercoledì,

Last week, we worked on the full Italian meal — the pasta, the main course. Today I want to go back to the beginning.

In Italy, the antipasto is the moment the table comes alive.

People talk, they pick, the meal finds its pace. Everything that follows lands better because of it.

That's why I put together this list — five starters that look like an occasion, even when the occasion is just Tuesday.

• ​Italian Bruschetta with Mozzarella
• ​Baked Stuffed Mushrooms with Pistachios
• ​Savory Muffins with Vegetables and Parmesan
• ​Italian Oven Roasted Red Peppers ​
• ​Italian Zucchini Fritters with Zucchini Flowers

Buon appetito,
