title: Rocco's Italian-American
author: Rocco Dispirito
description: Celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito is best known for his short-lived reality TV show The Restaurant, which chronicled the start-up (and disintegration) of DiSpirito's Manhattan dining spot, Rocco's 22nd Street, whose menu was partially devised by his mother Nicolina. Rocco's Italian American offers 150-plus recipes--restaurant-connected dishes like Nicolina's much praised meatballs plus her Eggplant Rollatini and Pizza Fritta, among others. Worthy versions of old favorites include Spaghetti Carbonara, Linguini with Clams, and Stuffed Artichokes. Requiring fewer than ten ingredients, the recipes are as tempting as they are approachable.

  novels she adores. What’s even worse is that when she celebrates her birthday
  on Valentine’s Day, she’ll officially be a thirty-year-old, plain Jane virgin.
  But even in her darkest, loneliest, horniest hour, she can’t bring herself to
  settle for any of negligible…er…eligible bachelors in her small town.
