Grilled Pineapple with Nutella
Pineapple doesn’t quite qualify as Italian, but Nutella (a chocolate-hazelnut spread) is definitely an Italian favorite of cult-like proportions, so this can certainly pass as an Italian-American recipe. Grilling the pineapple enhances its sweet flavor, provides the great grill marks, and of course warms it up, bringing a new level of comfort to this incredibly comforting dessert.
Cooks' Note
Although canned pineapple wouldn’t be my first choice, you can use it if you pat the slices dry before grilling.
