Summer Caprese Pasta with Salami
When the weather becomes oppressively hot and the world seems to move in slow motion, cooking can seem like an impossible task. This simplest of pastas (like our summer caprese pasta with salami), made from the best of summer’s bounty with tomatoes, basil and mint, takes so little effort – the only cooking is boiling water! The heat of the pasta itself takes the edgy bite off of the raw garlic so that only its nutty, allium-filled glory remains. Coupled with sea salt, fresh mozzarella and Volpi salami, you have a gratifying, barely-earned lunch. Share it with Nonna on the back patio in vinyl chairs and take in the stillness of summer.
Pancetta, Egg and Genoa-Pimento Cheese Sandwich
There are few things more classically American than a good breakfast sandwich. Squishy roll, gooey egg, crispy pork product, something cheesy, a little kick of something – you don’t even need to be hungover to appreciate the way they balance each other and deliver some lip-smacking goodness. We amped up a traditional pimento cheese spread with some Genoa salame (oh yes, we did) that adds a salty punch. Knowing that the pancetta, egg and genoa-pimento cheese sandwich exists makes it easy to have just one more the night before.
Blackberry Smash With Salami Swizzle
Blackberry season comes along when the ground is crisp and scorched from summer’s heat and the thirst for refreshing, cold cocktails hasn’t ceased. The act of muddling (or in this case, smashing) fruit and mint as a base for a cocktail is mystically satisfying to any mixed drink maker. The blackberry smash with salame swizzle contains tangy blackberries and sharp mint tamed by bourbon’s sweet notes keeps summer in its clutches ‒ it even has a built in snack of chorizo to tide you over to your refill.
The Volpi Chef’s Salad
There’s a debated difference between the definitions of a Chef’s Salad and a Cobb Salad (and don’t get us started on an Antipasto Salad!), and there are hybrids of each abound. Whatever your preference with these timeless classics, this is a combo worth making. For this salad, we suggest you get out the big platter.
Roasted Butternut Squash With Lime
Squash rarely get the attention elicited by spring asparagus or perfect summer tomatoes. Instead, they are the stalwarts of the kitchen, dutifully churning out the fall dishes we crave, rarely receiving any praise as they do. We decided to change all that and give squash its due as the star of an unexpected, killer side dish. The moment you try roasted butternut squash with lime, it's sure to become a family favorite.

Affogato with Candied Sopressata
Keep afloat. Don’t drown. That’s what affogato translates to. Though it would be a good way to go, melting into a strong shot of espresso, chewing on a few candied salame bits. Enjoyed as a dessert or afternoon pick-me-up, affogato with candied Sopressata is transcendental either way. Where’s that ice cream scoop?
Pasta alla Norma with 3 Cheeses
Few things will make you feel more like a Sicilian nonna than cooking up this gorgeous, tomato-rich pasta dish on a hot summer day. A simple shallow pan-fry turns cubes of hearty eggplant into tender bites of goodness, while drawing out toasted caramel notes. A mix of cow and sheep’s milk cheeses gives the sauce a savory, punchy creaminess. Set out a bowl of Castelvetrano olives — a sweet, mild variety that also hails from Sicily — and a salami plate for you and your guests to snack on while the sauce cooks. Mild and sweet sorts, like Sopressata, capocolla and fuet are great with this dish.
Pickled Blackberries, Smoked Mozzarella and Plums
Pickled blackberries, smoked mozzarella and plums are the perfect addition to a salami platter. It takes just a little bit of smoke and some flavored vinegar to turn three ingredients into something special. Cold smoking — a way of preserving food without heat — imparts, well, smoky flavor to the cheese and plums, adding interest on a salame platter. Blackberries take a plunge in seasoned vinegar to add a sweet-tart note. Without much effort, your friends will think you’re a genius. They’re right.
