Fior di Nonna Caprese
Inspired by his Nonna and Italian ancestry, Alexander created his Fior di Nonna Caprese appetizer to resemble a similar dish they would cook together when visiting her in Italy. As Alexander says, “When you have good roots, good ingredients, and love food, inspiration comes easy!” **Recipe created by Alexander Basile from The Saucy Meatball in Fort Meyers, FL 2021 Fior·di·Latte Recipe Contest Finalist
