From Sara’s kitchen to yours.

Whether it’s our hearty Meat Lasagna, delicious Chicken Parmesan or another favorite – as you heat a Michael Angelo’s dinner, the smell of Sara’s kitchen makes your mouth water. So how did Michael Angelo’s develop our award-winning recipes? It wasn’t easy. If you’ve ever seen an Italian mother cook, you know, it’s a little bit of this, a little bit of that.

According to Sara, “When we started making food in larger quantities, I asked Michael how this would be possible. He said, ‘Wait here.’ And he went out and bought a scale, set down beside me and said, ‘Go ahead. Cook.” Every time I added something, he’d say, ‘Wait, put it on the scale first.’ This is how we developed our recipes to taste like Italy. Like back home.”

Today, the Michael Angelo’s family of entrees includes dozens of recipes. Each is guaranteed to deliver the same authentic Italian flavor that can be found in Sara’s own kitchen.

“Sometimes, we’d recreate the recipe and something just wouldn’t taste right. But Mom could always tell what was wrong. Early on, I had a problem with a recipe and I couldn’t figure what was wrong. Was it a spice? Was it the tomatoes? So I took it down to the market where Mom was working at the time, and she gave it a little taste and said, ‘Your oregano is old – maybe 30 days old.’ Of course, she was right. To this day, Mom always signs off on our ingredients.” – Michael
