About Chef Nina Mulè Lyons

Nina Mulè Lyons grew up in Pittsburg, PA, in a family that valued Italian traditions and learned to cook by helping her mom in the kitchen, starting “as soon as she could reach the stove”. Nina can trace her ancestry 300 years back to Altavilla Milicia, a small village in Sicily, the Italian island just off the “toe” of Italy’s “boot.”

In 2018 and 2019 Nina spent time in Italy studying mosaics in Ravenna, a city in the Emilia Romagna region. During those trips she also spent some time in Bologna, the capital of Emilia Romagna, which is considered by many to be Italy’s ultimate food destination. It is here that she fell in love with Parmigiano Reggiano – because “nothing else compares”.

This recipe was the winner of the “The Ultimate Party Snack” Category in the Parmigiano Reggiano Masterpiece Contest, 2022.

These Parmigiano Reggiano Party Toasts are easy to make and crazy good. Baguette slices are topped with a creamy mixture of freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano, mayonnaise and minced garlic, then baked until brown and puffy. A shower of parsley when they come out of the oven finishes them off — unless you want to add red pepper flakes for some extra kick. Goes great with a medium body red wine, a crisp Pinot Grigio, ice cold beer, or sparkling water. Get ready to party Italian style.

Ingredients:

8 baguette slices, cut diagonally, approx. 4x2x½ inches
½ cup mayonnaise
¾ cup genuine Parmigiano Reggiano, freshly grated or finely shredded
1 garlic clove, minced
¼ cup minced fresh parsley
Red pepper flakes, optional

About Chef Libby Maeder

I was born in Buffalo and have lived all my life in this area. My favorite cuisine is probably American home cooking, inspired by classic French and Italian techniques. Early in my 20s, I discovered what a difference genuine Parmigiano Reggiano makes compared to the “parmesan” cheese from that familiar green canister. I think my first recipe using it was for mushrooms stuffed with fresh breadcrumbs, fresh basil, garlic, Parmigiano Reggiano and olive oil. I’ve been cooking for probably 50 years now, and I’m still so excited and happy to learn more about food and try new recipes. The kitchen is my happy place! I also write about my food adventures on my Facebook page, Libby Loves to Cook, as well as once a month in our wonderful local newspaper, the East Aurora Advertiser.

Passatelli Haluski

Directions:

STEP 1

In a bowl mix and combine all the dumpling ingredients. First the breadcrumbs, the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and the eggs, then add the lemon zest. Mix the ingredients with your hands and work the mixture until you get an elastic and compact dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest for at least 1 hour at room temperature. This will make the mixture more compact and prevent passatelli from breaking and crumbling during cooking.

STEP 2

Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest for at least 1 hour at room temperature. This will make the mixture more compact, which will help avoid that the passatelli break during cooking. If you have a potato ricer, use it to make the passatelli. To do it by hand, cut a piece of dough the size of a golf ball, then slice it and roll each piece to the thickness of a pencil.

STEP 3

Place the cabbage mixture in a frying pan at medium temperature and cook until it turns into a nice golden brown.

STEP 4

Fill a large pot with water and bring to a rolling boil.

STEP 5

Boil the passatelli dumplings till they float.

STEP 6

With a strainer or a large slotted spoon, remove the passatelli and place them with the cabbage.

STEP 7

Gently sauté and season with salt and pepper.

STEP 8

Serve in a shallow bowl, preferably a dark color to allow the food to contrast with the plate. Keep the portions small. Add some freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano on top.

Parmigiano Reggiano® Strudel with Radicchio

Directions:

STEP 1

Preheat oven to 400º F. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, pour the radicchio and add salt and pepper. Add a tablespoon to two of water. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes. You want it to be a little under cooked. Remove from heat and let cool in the pan.

STEP 2

Place the puff pastry on a baking sheet, spread some bread crumbs along the central part, the bread crumbs will be used to absorb the excess moisture of the radicchio so the pastry doesn’t become too soggy, and will be crunchy and crumbly. Add the radicchio and 14 oz of shaved Parmigiano Reggiano cheese on top of the bread crumbs. Fold it and close it by pinching the edge together with your fingers.

STEP 3

In a bowl, beat the egg yolk with the milk, brush the entire surface of the strudel with the mixture. Sprinkle the remaining 2 oz of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese over the top of the strudel. Bake for about 40 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown. Let it cool before cutting and serving.

A strudel is a type of layered pastry with a filling that is usually sweet. One of the most popular treats in any traditional Viennese café, this iconic dessert is considered by many to be the national dish of Austria.

Chef Michele is using Parmigiano Reggiano cheese to turn this traditional Austrian sweet into a delicious savory dish that you can enjoy as an appetizer or as a main.

It was the Turkish Baklava pastry, introduced into Austria in 1453 that laid the foundation for the Viennese strudel. Gradually strudels with different fillings were created. The oldest known strudel recipe dates back to 1697 and survives today in a handwritten cookbook in the Vienna Town Hall Library.

Ingredients:

Frozen puff pastry sheet, thawed
9-10 oz. head of radicchio, quartered, cored, coarsely sliced
1 lb. Parmigiano Reggiano 24 Months, freshly shaved
3 tbsp. bread crumbs
1 egg yolk
1/2 c. whole milk
Salt and pepper, to taste
5 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

Chef Hints:

To make sure you are buying Parmigiano Reggiano PDO cheese, look for the distinctive dotted rind and make sure it is a product of Italy. For this recipe Chef Michele recommends using a Parmigiano Reggiano cheese aged 24 to 36 months.

The word gnocchi is derived from the Italian word “nocchio”, meaning a knot in wood. (Does Pinocchio come to mind?!) It has been a traditional type of Italian pasta since Roman times.
Gnocchi vary in recipe and name across different regions of Italy. Lombard malfatti, translated to poorly made, are made with ricotta, flour, spinach and herbs or Tuscan gnudi distinctively contains less flour. The Campanian version is called strangolapreti which literally means “priest stranglers”.

Gnocchi are most commonly cooked on their own in salted, boiling water and then dressed with various sauces. In certain times they are baked with cheese and butter. Chef Michele has chosen the latter style of preparation. The earthiness of the Parmigiano Reggiano alongside the autumnal vegetables butter and sage makes this dish a truly decadent meal.

Ingredients:

1 lb. squash, skin and seeds removed and quartered
1 lb. sweet potatoes
5 oz. unsalted butter
1 egg
½ c. all-purpose flour

    SERVINGS

The word gnocchi is derived from the Italian word “nocchio” , meaning a knot in wood. (Does Pinocchio come to mind?!) It has been a traditional type of Italian pasta since Roman times.
Gnocchi vary in recipe and name across different regions of Italy. Lombard malfatti, translated to poorly made, are made with ricotta, flour, spinach and herbs or Tuscan gnudi distinctively contains less flour. The Campanian version is called strangolapreti which literally means “priest stranglers”.

Gnocchi are most commonly cooked on their own in salted, boiling water and then dressed with various sauces. In certain times they are baked with cheese and butter. Chef Michele has chosen the latter style of preparation. The earthiness of the Parmigiano Reggiano alongside the autumnal vegetables butter and sage makes this dish a truly decadent meal.

Directions:

STEP 1

Preheat the oven to 350º F. Grease a baking sheet with oil and add the squash and potatoes, bake for 30 minutes until tender when poked with a fork.

STEP 2

Let the potatoes and squash cool for about 30 minutes. Remove the skin and seeds from the squash once its cool enough to handle. Puree together either using a ricer, or a fork. Add the egg, flour, nutmeg and salt to taste. Mix all together using your hands. Do not over mix. Gluten will start forming toughening the gnocchi.

STEP 3

Flour a wood board and your hands. Working in sections roll out dough into a 1 inch rope. Cut into pieces about 1/2 inch.

STEP 4

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the gnocchi to the water, cooking until they float. Remove from the water with a spider and set aside until all are finished.

STEP 5

Meanwhile, heat a large pan over medium heat with the butter and sage, when the butter melts turn off the heat. Place the cooked gnocchi in the saucepan with the butter and sage, toss a couple of times to coat and serve with a lot of Parmigiano Reggiano!

Ingredients:

1 lb. squash, skin and seeds removed and quartered
1 lb. sweet potatoes
5 oz. unsalted butter
1 egg
½ c. all-purpose flour
¼ tsp nutmeg
16 Sage leaves
1 lb. Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, aged 36th months or more

Chef Hints:

When picking fresh pumpkin, they should be solid to the touch, avoid ones that have soft spots or sunken areas, as decay has already set in, high quality pumpkins have a firm, hard rind and are generally rich orange in color.

To make sure you are buying Parmigiano Reggiano PDO cheese, look for the distinctive dotted rind and make sure it is a product of Italy. For this recipe Chef Michele recommends using a Parmigiano Reggiano cheese aged 24 to 36 months.

    SERVINGS

A soufflé is a baked egg-based dish originating in France in the early eighteenth century. Combined with various other ingredients it can be served as a savory main dish or sweetened as a dessert.

The earliest mention of the soufflé is attributed to French master cook Vincent La Chapelle, in the early eighteenth century. Chef Michele Casadei Massari has prepared his modern take on the centuries old french tradition and graciously shared it with us.

Of course, his version has his classic Italian twist using our favorite ingredient: Parmigiano Reggiano.

Ingredients:

2 ½ tbsp unsalted butter
4 tbsp plain bread crumbs
½ c Parmigiano Reggiano cheese 24 or 36th Months finely grated
¼ c plain all-purpose flour
½ pint whole milk
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
4 eggs separated, room temperature

Chef Hints:

Chef Michele always recommends farm fresh eggs. To ensure your eggs are the freshest leave them out of the fridge for at least one hour. Wash them well under cold running water. Fill a bowl with about four inches of cold water and gently place your egg inside. Very fresh eggs will sink to the bottom and lay on their sides, if an egg stays at the bottom but stands on its small end, it’s still fine to eat; just not quite as fresh.

To make sure you are buying Parmigiano Reggiano PDO cheese, look for the distinctive dotted rind and make sure it is a product of Italy. For this recipe Chef Michele recommends using a Parmigiano Reggiano cheese aged 24 to 36 months.

Pull Apart Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese Bread

Directions:

STEP 1

Combine flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a large bowl. Add water and mix with your hands bringing the dough together.

STEP 2

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead vigorously for 10 minutes. Transfer to a large lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean cloth. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size – about 1 hour.

STEP 3

Knead the dough lightly for 1 minute, then roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle measuring approximately 20x12in.

STEP 4

Spread the pesto or sun-dried tomato paste over the dough, leaving a little less than an inch border along one long edge. Scatter the rosemary and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese evenly. From the other long edge, roll the rectangle into a sausage-shape, pressing the long edge to seal it. Curl the roll around into a circle, sealing the ends together.

STEP 5

Lift the ring onto a large, greased baking sheet. Without cutting through entirely, cut 16 even slices with a sharp knife, keeping the circular shape. Twist each slice so that the cut surface lies upwards. Sprinkle with poppy seeds or sesame seeds. Leet rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes.

STEP 6

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 520 F/Fan 375 F. Bake for 20-25 minutes until risen and golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

Chicken wings are by far the most popular snack consumed during the Big Game. Last year’s estimate was a mind-boggling 1.42 billion chicken wings, according to the National Chicken Council. However, with all the deep-frying, the buttery sauces and the blue cheese on the side, classic buffalo wings are a healthy-eating disaster. This is why, both Larry and Chef Michele suggest using an air fryer and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

To prove how delicious and nutritious chicken wings can be, Chef Michele went into his kitchen and made a batch with his favorite cheese. Try this recipe for the Big Game, and enjoy a healthier snack during game time.

Ingredients:

6 chicken wings
2 tablespoon panko
1/3 cup shaved Parmigiano Reggiano cheese *Chef Hint

Aioli

1 head of garlic
1 teaspoon dry garlic powder
2 teaspoon olive oil
teaspoon kosher salt
teaspoon black pepper
1 cup mayonnaise
cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese *Chef Hint

Look for the seal of authenticity.

For a better experience always use authentic Parmigiano Reggiano, made in Italy.

READ MORE

Hint:

Buy your favorite fresh or frozen bone-in skin-on wings, just place into the air fryer basket, no need for oil, no need to thaw. It’s ok if the chicken overlaps a bit since they will shrink in size as they cook.

Depending on the size of your air fryer you may need to cook the wings in batches. To keep them warm heat your oven to 200 F and place the cooked wings inside.

For this recipe use Parmigiano Reggiano cheese aged 24 months for the best consistency and flavor.
