Lemon Cream Filled Strawberries

Core 30+ strawberries.  Slice a small tip off the bottom of the strawberry so it stands without falling.  Whip 1/2 cup of whipping cream in a chilled bowl until soft peaks (or use cool whip).  Whisk in 2 Tbsp. confectioner's sugar.  In a new bowl, whisk 2 ounces of mascarpone (or cream cheese) and 2 Tbsp Stonewall Kitchen Lemon Curd.  Fold Lemon Curd mixture into whipped cream.  Pipe mixture into strawberries. Top with a blueberry.

Grilled Pasta Salad

Boil your favorite pasta (we love any Di Sardegna gold), drain and set aside.  Whisk 1/2 cup of olive oil (try our Tuscan Herb), 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar & 1 Tbsp of Amazing Herbs.  Toss pasta in dressing.  Chop grilled eggplant & Cucina and Amore grilled peppers & toss with pasta.  Cubed pepperoni & smoked provolone add additional flavor.  Add salt & pepper as needed.
