I consider this oven roasted eggplant / eggplant mozzarella tomato bake as a main course. What is interesting is that for some people it is a side dish! I find it quite filling so could hardly imagine some other food aside. In any case, main course or side dish, this bake is amazingly good!
I wish you could feel the lovely texture of this creamy sun-dried tomato pasta. With only a couple of ingredients you will make such a beautiful and tasty dish that will be your dinner or lunch saver! There is no doubt you will love this pasta recipe, and once you try it, you will make it for quite some time. Want to bet? 🙂
The cherry tomato bruschetta is one step beyond the regular bruschetta. Why? Because we all are used to the regular bruschetta, meaning, some tomatoes chopped and mixed with fresh basil, and served on a freshly baked bread. This bruschetta is a baked bruschetta, and trust me, once you try this one, you will never go back to the regular one. If you still prefer that one, let me know your motivation in the comments (I don’t think this is possible at all so curious to know why, but whyyyy? 😀 ).
The cranberry pistachio biscotti turn out really hard (and this is OK!) but they are amazing if dipped into coffee or tea. Or wine. Yes, wine! Although it may sound crazy, Tuscan people eat cantucci dipping them into wine. They are usually served as digestive, and there is quite a number of articles on wines that go along best with cantucci. Have you ever tasted cantucci with wine? Did you like the combination? Let me know in the comments below.
I can’t wait for the ding of the oven that I am at the dining table with my fork ready for a bite of eggplant parmigiana. This easy eggplant parmesan dish speaks for itself: super tender, full of beautiful texture and flavors. The secret in getting the most delicious eggplant parmigiana is…. fried eggplant. Oh yessss, I hope it’s your cheat day today, if not, let’s keep any diet aside for a moment (we can get back on the track tomorrow). Deal?
I am still wondering if there is any better match than salmon and zucchini. The creamy salmon pasta has more than that: creamy texture, salmon freshness, zucchini tenderness. All in one and the same dish! See, you don’t need to have Michelin star to look professional in the kitchen. Oh and I almost forgot: if you make this dish for your date night, s/he will get straight into your heart 🙂
I dare to say this is the best Italian recipe when it comes to baking. These are really simple to make Sardinian almond cookies that only require a couple of ingredients. I always wanted to make these cookies myself, but was always a bit cautious to using supermarket eggs. I have recently gotten some fresh eggs from the farmer, and the Sardinian almond cookies were the first to come to my mind!
The potato gnocchi or ricotta gnocchi is a great idea for lunch (definitely one of the best Italian recipes when you need an easy recipe!). The gnocchi are so popular among Italian families as they are so quick to prepare. What is great about this recipe is that you can make a bigger quantity of gnocchi and put them to freeze. You may need to add some more flour in between the gnocchi, as otherwise they may stick together and it will be hard to get them apart.
The Italian recipes not only have more vanilla cream dessert making options. Some use the same base to make the chocolate cream dessert. Let’s try this one for now, and let’s put some chopped chocolate or chocolate chips this time to get more flavor. So let’s get started!
I love baking, and I love easy and quick to make recipes. I had some coconut and was not sure where to use it. Until I came up with this idea to use it to make cookies! I am sure there can be lots of variations when it comes to these coconut cookies. You may add nuts, even jam! I love the cookies the way they are as the recipe is so simple, and the cookies turn so chewy and delicious!
As you may know already, risotto is a dish where the rice instead of being boiled, is actually cooked in a pan. I first tried this risotto with mushrooms recipe when I was visiting Milan, and I simply felt in love with it! I love any kind of mushrooms, and use it quite much, even making other Italian recipes (follow me on social, and you will be the first to find them out!) 🙂
The Baked Salmon Fillet can be made in many different ways. I love this one so much not just because it is one of the most used and best Italian recipes when it comes to salmon, but I know that I can add anything else on top that I have in fridge and it will still result amazing!
The best part of the Italian recipes is that they are super simple, and yet the flavor is amazing. In particular, sweets and so these cornflake cookies! All you have to do is to simply mix all the ingredients together. Furthermore, you may want to keep the dough to sit for some time, I do it too so the condensed milk gets absorbed by the cornflakes.
The taste of these marinated olives is absolutely stronger if you let them sit for some time. Nevertheless, they are still great for a quick appetizer. If you know you are about to have friends at home, I highly recommend to get the marinated olives ready at least a day before. Otherwise, if you need something quick to serve, here is the best option!
The red pesto is a super quick to make sauce. It can be a great option for an easy-to-make and simple lunch. When working full time, there is not a lot of time left for cooking your lunch. This is why I love to have some homemade pesto in my fridge. All I need to do then, is to make some pasta, and the one I love most with the pesto is spaghetti. I will soon share a great spaghetti with pesto rosso recipe. I till have a secret ingredient, so make sure to follow me on social to be the first to find it out!
I know this chocolate salami since I was a kid. I remember my mom making it at times, and it was one of the most delicious sweets. There are quite many combinations of this chocolate salami, yet the one I share below is my favorite. I like this one because it has some bitter cocoa in it that makes the flavor even stronger (some people make it with dark chocolate instead). And those hazelnuts. Ohhh those roasted hazelnuts!
