Why are the simplest dishes often the best? Here, a few fine ingredients lift this sandwich from the 'something on toast' category to a special treat. It makes a delightful, balanced light lunch when fresh asparagus is in season.

Bocconcini Salad

Recipe by: Mario

Be the first to review it!

Bite-size balls of fresh mozzarella, known as bocconcini, make up this scrumptous salad. If possible, seek out mozzarella di bufala, made from water buffalo's milk, a specialty of central and southern Italy. It is a softer, creamier mozzarella than that made from cow's milk.

Boniet

Recipe by: The Iron Chef-SuziQ

Reviews(1)

Pronounced 'bun-yet,' this is an old Italian recipe from my Nonie's kitchen. It is made using mainly parsley and garlic and is meant to be eaten with crusty warm bread. It is almost sinful to share this secret recipe with the world, but I know you'll love it as much as my family and I do. Refrigerate overnight for best flavour.

Fresh tomatoes, basil and red onion are heaped on top of garlic-rubbed toast.

Cassata

Recipe by: Celeste

Be the first to review it!

This is one of my favourite desserts to make for company in the spring. It’s easy with store-bought sponge cake and it looks like it took hours to prepare with the candied fruit/ricotta filling and green tinted marzipan covering. Some variations use gelato instead of ricotta, but I prefer it best with ricotta.

Chanterelle Risotto

Recipe by: Christine M. Cook

Savoury and cheesy. Superb vegetarian dish for dinner parties. You can substitute Pecorino Romano for Parmesan, and porcinis for chanterelles.

Really quick to make soup and really tasty, the lemony flavour makes it perfect for summer starters or light lunches and the garlic gives it a bit of a kick! Hope you enjoy as much as I did!

Crostini alla Fiorentina

Recipe by: nostatic

Be the first to review it!

This is a traditional Italian starter that is, essentially, liver pate served on toasted rustic bread. This is a nice recipe for parties and wine tastings. For vegetarians in attendance, you can also prepare a version with finely chopped (and drained) herbed tomatoes as it is equally delicious. You can serve the dish hot or cold on toasted baguette or ciabatta.
