At That’s Amore Cheese, every recipe tells a story. One of heritage, family and the comfort of Italian cooking. These dishes aren’t just meals they are memories passed down through generations and brought to life again.

Here are four beautiful recipes from our collection shared from some of our staff members that truly capture the essence of Italian tradition.

Falso Magro: Lucio

Despite its name meaning “false lean,” Falso Magro is anything but modest. This classic Sicilian dish is a celebration of abundance a carefully prepared roll of beef stuffed with a rich filling, then slow-cooked to perfection.

Each slice reveals layers eggs, cheese, herbs and sometimes cured meats, creating a dish that is as visually impressive as it is satisfying. Traditionally served during special occasions, Falso Magro is the kind of meal that brings everyone to the table.

Crescia Pasquale:  Daniela

No Italian Easter table is complete without Crescia Pasquale. A savoury cheese bread that symbolises celebration of togetherness. Light, airy and filled with cheese, this traditional dish from Umbria fills the kitchen with an aroma as it cooks. It’s often enjoyed alongside cured meats, eggs, and cheeses, making it the perfect centrepiece for a festive spread. What makes Crescia Pasquale so special is its versatility: it can be enjoyed at breakfast, as part of a long lunch, or simply torn and shared among family and friends.
