Anne Burrell didn’t just cook—she made kitchens come alive. With her signature flair and fearless flavor combinations, the beloved chef and television personality turned simple ingredients into unforgettable meals. In honor of her legacy, we’ve curated five of Anne’s personal recipes—each one a joyful tribute to her love of bold food, big flavor, and beautiful life. From rustic Italian pastas to crave-worthy pizzettas, these dishes invite you to bring a little of Anne’s culinary magic into your own kitchen.
Light, vibrant, and utterly satisfying, this zucchini cannelloni puts a fresh twist on a classic Italian comfort dish.
In true Anne fashion, this recipe skips the pasta in favor of thinly sliced zucchini, wrapped lovingly around a creamy ricotta filling and nestled in bright tomato sauce. It’s the kind of dish that makes eating your vegetables feel like a celebration.
A golden, pan-fried classic with an herby, peppery twist.
Anne’s version of Chicken Milanese is all about contrast: the crisp, juicy chicken cutlet paired with the slight bitterness of escarole and the brightness of a lemony salad. It's elegant yet approachable—ideal for a weeknight dinner or an al fresco weekend lunch.
“It's crispy and crunchy—kind of like a grilled cracker,” Anne once said of this pizzetta, one of her all-time favorites.
Char-grilled dough, creamy Stracchino cheese, savory sausage, and a drizzle of homemade chili oil make this a standout. “I always give pizza a ‘sprinkey-dink’ of crushed red pepper,” she laughed. This pizzetta is her spicy love letter to pizza night—with her signature kick.
“It’s an incredibly sophisticated and sexy dish—but deceivingly easy to make,” Anne told us with a wink.
This showstopping pasta, filled with creamy ricotta and a hidden golden yolk, is one of the ultimate Italian indulgences. Slice it open and the yolk flows like velvet—proof that elegance and comfort can go hand in hand.
“This is what I call a real team effort,” Anne said. “Each ingredient brings something to the party.”
Earthy whole wheat pasta meets sweet roasted squash, bitter greens, and crunchy pumpkin seeds in a flavor-forward celebration of contrast and balance. It’s hearty, healthy-ish, and wholly delicious.
