Sometimes a rich buttery dish with a strong Italian influence is all you need. This time, let’s unite tender chicken breast and pasta on your plate, sprinkled with a creamy gorgonzola and parmesan sauce. As for the choice of pasta, don’t take it too seriously. Any will do.
Originally, the muffuletta sandwich (named from the bread) sprang up in Sicily, only to cross the ocean later. We show you how to put together your own. Instead of sesame bread, we used a whole wheat one. First, it can be no muffuletta without mortadella, olive oil, and cheese. Pair these with baked veggies, flavor with basil and spice it with salsa.
Is this a hearty complete meal, or what? It surely is, because you pair the tagliatelle pasta with tender chicken breast and even with some bacon. Complete with a creamy buttery broccoli sauce and enjoy.
Make your breakfast count with a hearty and nutritious frittata, omelet’s Italian cousin. Fat and protein-rich, gluten-free, and low-carb, it’s the perfect day start for someone going on a Keto diet. Sharpen it a bit with lemon, flavor with thyme and share.
The Caprese salad is a no-brainer and refreshing starter and you should give it a try. The secret to this salad is fresh mozzarella. Putting it together takes less than 10 minutes and the juicy tart tomatoes perfectly pair the fresh creamy cheese.
Don’t be deterred by the apparently long cooking time, here. It’s actually 20 minutes preparation and 4 hours refrigeration. So, it’s easy but be patient. This is Italian, but still, it is low-carb stuff. Make your gnocchi from organic mozzarella and eggs. Also, make your own pesto sauce. It’s easy as pie and you even add your own touch to it.
Use beef and pork for these extra-meaty meatballs. But wait, they’re cheesy, too, thanks to the organic low moisture mozzarella and parmesan added into the mixture and especially to the cubed mozzarella stuffing. Did we mention protein-rich and low-carb? There you go.
Let’s put together a thick meaty Bolognese sauce from ground beef and tomatoes and flavor it with smoky onion, camphor-like oregano, and mildly peppery basil. But instead of dressing pasta with it let’s use it on zucchini “noodles”, which we cut with the spiral cutter.
The Tuscan soup is rich and meaty and can easily be regarded as a one-dish meal. Indeed, the protein-rich sausage meat and bacon, the hearty potatoes, the heavy cream, and kale leaves have pretty much all that is needed for a balanced meal. A seriously nutritious dish, Italian style.
Tiramisu, anyone? Except that this time we’re changing the classical recipe a little. So, keep the cocoa and coffee out for this one. Let’s make it mango-themed with the ladyfingers soaked in a mixture of orange juice and brandy. It’s 20 minutes well spent, refrigeration time aside.
Although there is a strong connection of this incredible dessert with Italy, it is also popular in Portugal and Romania. So, we let you give the verdict as regards to its origins. Use the bain-marie technique to melt together dark chocolate, butter, and heavy cream. Toss ginger cookies, candied orange, and almonds and get an incredible texture of mixed crunchy, slightly chewy and fluffy. The mother of all chocolate salamis!
There is no limit to the degree of deliciousness the bacon pasta can reach. And no stop as to how much you can improve this scrumptious combination even more. Cooked in butter and paired with meaty Chanterelle mushrooms, the irresistible bacon with tagliatelle is truly delicious.
