Coffee granita really is the perfect Italian treat on a warm day – the icy texture of the granita with a strong coffee flavor paired with freshly whipped cream is just wonderful. Even better? This is so easy to make. Just mix up some coffee, sugar, a pinch of salt and vanilla (or you can use a flavored coffee syrup, if you like – hazelnut would be fun!) and let it freeze. Scrape up the frozen bits after 2 hours, then freeze again – scrape again after a final 2 hours, and it’s done.

We love the combination of fresh corn and spicy Italian sausage – it’s a perfect marriage of sweet-and-heat. In this tasty summer pizza, those ingredients are the stars alongside fresh mozzarella, arugula and basil. Simplicity at its finest!

Roasting tomatoes pulls out all that excess water, so it concentrates the tomato’s flavor – and makes them super deliciously sweet! Topped with basil, arugula, and lots of torn burrata cheese, salt and olive oil… does it get any better than that?

We love Caprese salad in all its many forms, but this Caprese granita has to be the ultimate summer treat! Giada has loved using tomatoes as a base for sorbets and granitas for a long time, and with good reason! Tomatoes are fruit, after all, and their late-summer sweetness is unbeatable.

My spicy melon salad is a fun and delicious way to upgrade any summer dinner. Cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon provide different textures and sweetness, while the serrano chili peppers, red pepper flakes, and whole peppercorns add serious heat to this summertime salad. The lime juice and honey round out the flavors of this zesty dressing. The best part? All you have to do is heat it for a few minutes to meld the flavors! It couldn’t be easier.
