Easy Italian recipes: delight your guests with these easy ideas from appetizers to Italian dessert recipes.
Italian recipes may vary between bordering cities. Italy has some bigger cities and many small centres. Each one of these has its own traditions and recipes.
Italian appetizers
Before contemplating any Italian dishes, what about some Italian starters ideas? Just to go with your favourite wine...
Try some cheese appetizers, raw ham with melon, some olives...
Italian pasta recipes
Mostly, when we talk about pasta recipes, we don't mean the pasta, but making pasta sauce. Different pasta shapes are usually similar in taste (we do not mean stuffed pasta), and so the difference is the sauce.
Risotto recipes
Here you have some easy Italian recipes to prepare a risotto.
Beginning with Parmesan risotto (that is the simplest one); you can follow with Saffron risotto which is typically from the Milan area. It is very attractive with its strong yellow color.
Authentic Italian recipes
These authentic Italian recipes are the basis of many dishes. The authentic Italian lasagna recipe needs bechamel sauce and the meatloaf recipe is an old recipe that pleases all.
Simple vegetarian recipes
There are so many easy Italian vegetarian recipes that makes my mouth water. I believe eggplant parmesan is the top choice, but what about stuffed zucchini?
Italian dessert recipes
Probably the best known Italian dessert is Tiramisu , this creamy delight pleases all and it's regularly consumed in daily Italian life. The Panna Cotta is a kind of cream pudding, topped with berries, chocolate or caramel.
A very typical one for me is crostata, as I have eaten it from the very first time I came to Italy. It's a simple sweet pie with fruit marmalade, even if variations are accepted, such as Nutella
.
Italian candies often contain almonds, as do some liquors. The amaretto is an almond cookie that is made in many parts of Italy.
