ITALIAN DONUTS WITH CHERRY SAUCE
Steps:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, add the thawed cherries with their liquid,
- 1 tablespoon of sugar, the lemon juice and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and reserve 2 tablespoons of juice for the Venice Sunset Cocktail.
- In a cast iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees F.
- While the oil is heating, make the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the baking mix and remaining 1/4 cup of sugar. In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until completely incorporated.
- When the oil is hot, carefully drop the batter, by the tablespoonful, into the oil. Fry, turning them once, until they are golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Drain on a sheet tray lined with paper towels or a brown paper bag while you repeat with the remaining batter. Lightly coat the donuts with powdered sugar.
- Serve the donuts in small bowls over the cherry sauce.
- In the bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture is well blended. Use in recipes that call for Bisquick or all-purpose mix.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion, garlic, and chile pepper; cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high, and stir in the cherry tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes have lost their form and are beginning to make a sauce, about 5 minutes. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 10 minutes.
- While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the fresh gnocchi, and cook until the gnocchi float to the surface, 2 to 3 minutes. Gently strain out the gnocchi and place into a serving dish.
- Stir the basil and olives into the simmering sauce, and cook for one minute. Pour the sauce over the drained gnocchi and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve.

CHERRY TOMATO SAUCE WITH PENNE
The best ways to eat cherry tomatoes are as follows: plucked warm off the vine and eaten raw standing in front of the plant. Next best is raw, in some sort of salad. Third best is made into a sauce as I've done here. Ladle into bowls and top with Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Steps:
- Combine cherry tomatoes, oil, garlic, and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until garlic is just toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Pour chicken broth into tomato mixture; bring to a simmer and cook until tomatoes start to collapse and burst, about 10 minutes. Stir oregano and red pepper flakes into tomato mixture.
- Puree tomato mixture with a stick blender until sauce is smooth.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and return pasta to the pot.
