Sub, hoagie, grinder, whatever you call these classic king-size creations of multiple meats and cheese on a roll, one thing is for sure: you’re gonna need help polishing this monstrosity of a sandwich. If you decide to take on the Volpi Italian sub, pick a day in the not too distant future (a weekend for sure), invite those friends who are up for anything, and tell them to bring the chips and beer. You’ve got the rest. Boy, do you ever.

Capocolla, Lettuce and Tomato

A capocolla, lettuce, and tomato sandwich is a homage to the most basic but heroic of sandwiches. An ideal summer lunch, hangover cure, or miraculously simple yet satisfying snack. The reliable combination of crisped cured meat, summer’s best tomato, cool crunchy lettuce, and creamy mayo can’t be beat. Except when you substitute the new king of sandwich meats, capocolla, for the bacon. AND make your own damn mayo. Which you should do because it’s embarrassingly easy.

Pasta alla Norma with 3 Cheeses

Few things will make you feel more like a Sicilian nonna than cooking up this gorgeous, tomato-rich pasta dish on a hot summer day. A simple shallow pan-fry turns cubes of hearty eggplant into tender bites of goodness, while drawing out toasted caramel notes. A mix of cow and sheep’s milk cheeses gives the sauce a savory, punchy creaminess. Set out a bowl of Castelvetrano olives — a sweet, mild variety that also hails from Sicily — and a salami plate for you and your guests to snack on while the sauce cooks. Mild and sweet sorts, like Sopressata and Capocolla would pair great with your pasta alla norma with 3 cheeses.
