TODAY on MHTV: Whenever we have movie night, we always abandon sitting at the table for feasting on the couch. I oven-roast marinated hot cherry peppers stuffed with fresh herbs and cheese, and serve them with crusty bread for the ultimate finger food. Then, I punch up an ordinary pesto sauce by swapping out the traditional basil for baby spinach and toss it with cork-screw shaped fusilli pasta. Finally, crisp toffee chocolate bars are served warm for an irresistible quick-cook dessert. More from the show.

Get the recipes from this episode:

Stuffed Marinated Hot Red Cherry Peppers

Spinach Pesto Fusilli

Crisp Toffee Chocolate Bars

Watch ”Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn” Tuesdays through Fridays at 11 a.m. ET and 11:30 a.m. ET on Hallmark Channel.

    As a side note, I made the raddichio/endive dish that you and John Contratti made together. It was great. I would love to know some of his other recipes. Please let him know.
