Italian Potato Cake (Gattò di Patate)

Italian Potato Cake, or Gattò di Patate, is a Neapolitan dish of mashed potatoes topped with bread crumbs and filled with cheeses and salami. 

Gattò di Patate evidently gets the name gattò from the French term for cake, gateaux, adapted from when the French occupied Naples in the fifteenth and sixteenth century.

Spinach, Ricotta, and Three-Meat Calzones

These Spinach, Ricotta, and Three-Meat Calzones are so cheesy and delicious. They are also loaded with spinach, and just enough Italian delicatessen meats to give them a rich and savory flavor. 

A calzone is an Italian stuffed bread, essentially a portable pizza! It can be shaped like an empanada or turnover, as pictured above, or rolled up like a jelly roll. It can be thin or fat, and you can fill a calzone with any kind of cheese, meat, vegetable, and sauce.
