In the Kitchen with Jackie O was founded on a close-knit family and vivacious friends who regularly celebrated the finer things in life with delicious food and drinks.
Centered around a Mediterranean culture, daily dinners around the kitchen table, four o’clock coffee at grandma’s house during the weekdays, and weekend gatherings at an aunts or uncles always featured delectable sweets, treats, and hearty meals that were cherished over moments that made you laugh until you cried and words of wisdom that may or may not have been heard because of the million conversations happening around the kitchen table.
In the spirit of embracing life to the fullest, come join me in celebrating those that we love and cherish by creating memories through new and authentic recipes with those who mean the most in the kitchen. As my family would always say with open arms and cheek kisses to friends, family, and those alike as they walked through the door, “Come on in, what do you want to eat?!”

How to Create a Warm & Inviting Hosting Space
Pasta: Bring water to a boil in a large pot and add a handful of salt to the water. Add in pasta and cook until al dente, approximately 8-13 minutes.
Alfredo: In a large pan with high sides, melt butter on low heat. Once the butter is melted, mix in the minced garlic. Increase the heat slightly and graciously pour the heavy cream into the pan while whisking to combine with the melted butter and garlic. Continue to whisk as the mixture simmers for 5 minutes. Add in the cheese and whisk quickly until all cheese is melted. Mix in 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley, oregano and 1 teaspoon ground black pepper. Once mixed, use tongs to remove all the fettuccine and place directly into the alfredo sauce. Mix together so all pasta is coated with the cheese mixture. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with extra fresh parsley, ground black pepper, and grated parmesan cheese.
