Hazelnut Chocolate Cake
This dark and dense chocolate cake is almost like hazelnut fudge, so there's no need to test it with a toothpick to see if it's ready. It emerges from the oven fluffy and souffled, but it will deflate to half the size during the cooling period, so don't despair when you see it sink.

Melanzane Alla Parmigiana (Eggplant Parmigiana)
Debi and Gabriele's version of eggplant Parm layers thin slices of fried eggplant with homemade red sauce, mounds of mozzarella and fresh basil. This restaurant favorite is even better at home, baked until bubbly.

Eggplant and Pasta Incaciata
Shaped in a springform pan, this casserole’s domelike build has earned it another moniker: timpano, after the Italian word for eardrum. To create their savory cake, Debi and Gabriele wrap ziti pasta and pork ragu inside slices of meaty eggplant, then sprinkle Parmesan and breadcrumbs on top.

Green Gazpacho

Porcini Bruschette with Nipitella
The Italian herb nipitella is a member of the mint family and has a strong, refreshing taste that contrasts nicely with the earthiness of the porcini mushrooms. Can't find nipitella? Substitute a combo of mint and thyme.

Spaghetti Alle Vongole
Literally Italian for "spaghetti with clams," this restaurant-worthy recipe takes only 30 minutes to pull together, but the clam sauce is so delicious you'll need extra bread on hand to soak up every last bit.

Wild Striped Bass with Favas and Couscous
Seasoned simply with salt and pepper, Gabriele's Wild Striped Bass fillets get seared skin-side down, which keeps the flesh tender and flaky. Placed atop a bowl of pearly Israeli couscous infused with saffron and flecked with bright green Fava beans, sauteed leeks and tomato, this main dish is as healthy as it is gourmet.

Warm Risotto with Melon and Speck
In Italy, cured Italian meats such as prosciutto or speck are often served with slices of sweet and juicy melon as an appetizer. Here, Debi and Gabriele showcase the contrasting combo in a rich, buttery risotto.

Grilled Calamari and Arugula Salad
Marinated in a garlic and chili infused oil, grilled calamari provide a light and flavorful source of protein, while tart and zesty grapefruit complement the nutty and slightly bitter flavor of the arugula.

Caipirinha
This cocktail might be difficult to spell, but, man, is it easy to drink. Made with muddle lime juice, a bit of raw sugar and Cachaca – a distilled liquor originally from Brazil – it's easy to see why this sweet and refreshing drink is gaining in popularity.
Get the Recipe: Caipirinha
Ribollita
A staple in Tuscany, ribollita is a thick and hearty soup made with assorted vegetables, cannellini beans and bread. The Extra Virgin couple also includes cavolo nero or "back kale" in their Italian potage, which adds a lovely leafy texture.
Get the Recipe: Ribollita
Lobster Arrabbiata
Sweet and succulent lobster meat is the perfect addition to a spicy, chile-infused arrabbiata sauce. Try this dish from Gabriele and you'll understand why Anthony Bourdain left "blissfully happy" as a guest on Extra Virgin.

Guacamole and Baked Beet Chips
Ok, so it might not be an authentic Italian dish but Gabriele and Debi make a mean guacamole that's packed with red onion and fresh cilantro. The couple prefers serving their guac with homemade baked chips made from beets.

Tuna Tartare
Gabriele's tuna tartare is quick and simple to make, plus the addition of fresh mint and basil give it a refreshing and lively flavor.
