SAUSAGE & POTATO PIZZAS [RECIPE]( DELUXE PIZZA [RECIPE]( VEGGIE DELIGHT PIZZA [RECIPE]( MEAT LOVER'S PIZZA [RECIPE]( BURRATA WITH GRILLED VEGETABLES & FRUIT [RECIPE]( THIS IS THE BEST ITALIAN CHEESE OUT THERE We took a farm-to-table tour in Italy to discover why Parmigiano-Reggiano is the king of Italian cheeses and how to spot the real deal at the grocery store. [READ MORE]( SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO Simple, economical and delicious, spaghetti with garlic and oil is an Italian specialty from the Naples region. We added bread crumbs for extra crunch and Parmesan to taste. You can also incorporate vegetables, such as broccoli, kale or mushrooms. [RECIPE]( LEMONY RAVIOLI WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES Let the flavour of fresh ravioli shine with a light lemony butter-based sauce. [RECIPE]( THE ULTIMATE LASAGNA Layer after scrumptious layer of rich meat sauce, tender pasta and creamy cheese make this lasagna the best you'll ever have. [RECIPE]( SPRINGTIME SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA The key to a silky carbonara sauce is to toss the pasta constantly as you add it to the egg mixture. If it stops moving, even for just a second, the eggs start to clump. While this isn't the end of the world tastewise, you won't end up with the best sauce consistency. If you like, garnish the pasta with a little extra grated Parmesan cheese and some fresh-cracked pepper. [RECIPE]( PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS WITH SALTED HERB PANGRATTATO [RECIPE]( PORK PUTTANESCA WITH CREAMY POLENTA Common pantry ingredients such as olives, anchovies and capers give classic Italian puttanesca sauce loads of savoury flavour. Buttery polenta is perfect for soaking up all of the sauce's full-bodied goodness. [READ MORE]( ONE-POT BEEF PASTA E FAGIOLI This hearty Italian one-pot wonder is what dreams are made of. - [READ MORE]( HEARTY ITALIAN POT ROAST To get that rich, dark sauce, it's best to brown the meat before braising. The process takes a little time, but it layers in the flavour. Adding cocoa powder enriches the dish, too. [RECIPE]( MORTADELLA TOASTER TARTS A warm and portable version of the Italian-inspired layered sandwich, these tarts are filled with traditional mortadella, provolone and a simple roasted red pepper salad. Best of all, they can be made in advance, then warmed in the toaster. [RECIPE]( EASY TIRAMISU ICE CREAM CAKE We didn't think tiramisu, which rightfully means "pick me up," could get any better until we decided to take the classic Italian dessert and turn it into a decadent ice cream cake. [RECIPE]( CANNOLI-STYLE CHOCOLATE-GINGER MILLE-FEUILLE [RECIPE]( PIGNOLI: ITALIAN COOKIE RECIPE Chewy and crunchy, these sweet morsels are all about the pine nuts. This Italian cookie recipe is sure to be a hit at your next dinner party.

The answer would be the latter. This simple cocktail is kept authentically Italian through the use of Italian sparkling water which contains naturally occurring minerals. [RECIPE]( 🇮🇹 MANGO BELLINI Inspired by the classic Italian cocktail made of sparkling wine and peach purée, this bellini features a surprisingly sweet substitution: mango! Puréeing the frozen fruit with mango juice adds silky body to the bubbly.
