Authentic Bolognese

Recipe by: Mooneybeams

Reviews(1)

A traditional style very rich Italian ragu. My flatmate loves it and she's from Milan, so I'm fairly sure it's good! To be entirely traditional you should leave out the green pepper and use either garlic or onion, and not both. You could also use a mixture of beef and pork mince.

Carbonara Lite

Recipe by: Liz_W

Be the first to review it!

I am not suggesting for a minute that spaghetti carbonara can be a diet food. However, if you are a fan of this creamy, comforting pasta dish and balk at the calories, here's a method that shaves a few off by omitting butter and cream. It's still yummy though!

Focaccia

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Reviews(1)

This light Italian flat bread is prepared from a soft dough enriched with olive oil. Extra olive oil is traditionally sprinkled over the dough before baking – sometimes in generous quantities – but this recipe uses just enough to give a good texture and flavour. Focaccia makes an ideal accompaniment to Italian meats, cheeses and salads.

Garlic Chicken with fresh Fennel and Basil Tomato dressing

Recipe by: CuutchCooking

Be the first to review it!

My first recipe here :) I threw this together a couple of days ago, as I found some beautiful fresh Fennel and some stunning fresh chicken legs. The idea was to mix my mothers stunning recipe for Spanish garlic chicken with the fresh fennel and give that a little Italian twist.

one of my experiments. turned out pretty good so sharing it. i got the idea afrer eating an awful veg.lasagne in a cafe. it had something resembling sweet sour sauce in it...mah..i guarantee mine is healty and yummy! is light as i dont use any bechamel sauce and is also ideal if u dont like or are allergic to tomatoes. i made it with a big marrow but u can use different vegetables in it. i suggest aubergines and crougettes. you can use normal lasagne to make it egg-free

Italian baked cannelloni

Recipe by: MARBALET

Reviews(1)

This is a very special old Italian dish that warms your stomach, as well as your heart. It is a labour of love, but worth every bite! For a different taste, you can use a combination of beef and pork mince.

These cheesy fried rice balls are served with Italian dinners as a side like a bread. They're great with sauce and pasta dishes.

Italian seafood stew

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Reviews(1)

Any fish or shellfish is delicious in this Italian fisherman's stew – make the bubbling tomato mixture and add whatever is tasty and fresh from the sea. Serve with triangles of polenta grilled at the last minute.

Lamb with peppers and macaroni

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Reviews(1)

This Italian-style casserole is ideal for a special family dinner – it can be put in the oven well in advance, leaving time to do other things. Don't worry if you get delayed, as the lamb improves with longer cooking. Or it can be left to stand and reheated, with the macaroni added at the last minute. Serve with ciabatta.

My Favourite Really Rich Saucy Italian Meatballs

Recipe by: jessikafield

Reviews(1)

After many attempts to create the best meatballs, I think I've got them as good as I can get them. Great on a budget and just as a warning, you will not be able to stop eating them. I serve with wholewheat or egg spaghetti, as the normal and quick cook ones don't taste of much to me and, of course, garlic bread.

Panettone

Recipe by: Lacey Lynn

This traditional Italian Christmas bread is also suitable for elevenses, afternoon tea or breakfast. Enjoy!

Pizza alla napoletana

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Reviews(1)

A home-made pizza is vastly superior in flavour to shop-bought versions, and making your own pizza base – just a bread dough enriched with olive oil – is easy to do. Once you get the hang of it, you can add pizza toppings to order. The topping here, with tomatoes, mozzarella, anchovies and olives, is a classic from Naples.

Spaghetti Bolognese (Pork)

Recipe by: William_T

Be the first to review it!

I have not included any herbs in this recipe. You can add basil, or oregano, or omit them entirely. I find that herbs are one of those rather personal preferences. The dish is entirely edible without them. Likewise I have omitted garlic for the same reason. If you want garlic in, that is fine, just crush 2 garlic cloves and add along to the veg.
