Mary Berg and her husband share their new tradition of at-home date night, born from quarantine-life cravings for Italian-American chain restaurants. Mary recreates the checkered tablecloth magic with Classic Italian Restaurant Salad dripping with homemade Italian dressing and deliciously Stuffed Banana Peppers filled with beef and sausage, topped with herby tomato passata sauce. For a fuss-free, make-ahead dessert, Mary's simplified Tiramisu has thick layers of mascarpone cream with coffee and booze-soaked ladyfingers. And don't forget the pasta! Mary's rich and creamy Fettucine Alfredo loaded with shrimp will have you singing "that's amore!"
