All these delicious looking pies make me hungry. I’m going the Italian route today, but no pizza. Homemade stuffed shells. Playoff football...sauce simmering all day...good way to spend a Saturday.

My first attempt at making Johnny Di Francesco's (400 Gradi) margherita. Was quite happy with it for a first attempt. Didn't cut my dough balls big enough or not enough yeast so I couldn't get a large sized base. Still yummy for mini bases. I used fresh mozzarella instead of buffalo mozzarella and tinned whole peeled Italian tomatoes by Annalisa. Also, I used instant dried yeast instead of fresh yeast.

One looks really good....one looks the opposite. (People in Sweden would eat it if you gave it a goofy name)
Do you guys have margherita pie in the Midwest or is it a pizza belt thing? Margherita pie also uses slices of mozzarella as opposed to shredded mozzarella. Sauce is completely different too. Plus there is no basil on plain pie.

Yeah I think that is the same basic pie accross the US. (Of course to varying degrees of tastiness)
And who needs fancy names? “Hi pick up. I d like one large pie with pepperoni, one large with peppers and onions, one large with half meatballs and a large plain. Plus an order of fried ravioli and a dozen wings. Name is mike.”

Oh yeah. We have it. To be honest I never order it though. I have my go-to lineup and I rarely stray from the path. Mozzarella slices are awesome though. Huge caprese salad fan.

One large plain, one large Sicilian. Oh, ansa One cheese, wit.
(The last one is a large cheese steak with onions. House cheese.)
About as easy as it gets. Might add a dozen wings, hot as ya got.

Delicious man. I’m so full. I let the sausage cook in the sauce all day so it’s tender as hell. Ricotta, Romano, Parmesan and spinach filling. Little mozzarella on top.

Letting shit cook in the sauce is money. Bet that was tasty!
Thanks man. I don’t cook too many things but this has become one of my specialties. Got the recipe years ago from my good friends Italian wife. I love her cooking and she was willing to share her secrets lol. All credit goes to her

So I made more today, one for me and two for my nieces who loved it. My niece said it is the same as the pizza from 400 gradi. Turned out better today, better size. It's all trial and error.

Apologies for getting off the pizza topic again, but if you haven’t done so already, throw a neck bone in your sauce next time and let it simmer all day. It adds great flavor.
