Italian recipes.....?

Question

Hi! I'm moving to Italy next summer for a year and would like to know some good Italian recipes. Thanks!

Answer 1

Creamy Shrimp Pesto
Linguine
1/2 cup butter (real butter is best 4 this)
2 cups heavy cream
black pepper to taste
1 cup grated parmeasan cheese
1/3 cup pesto
1 lb. shrimp (i recommend the shrimp you can buy peeled and devined...its not that much more $$ but saves alot of time)

Start water for linguine to boil. Put pasta in when water is ready. In skillet melt butter, stir in cream & pepper, cook 6-8 min., stir constantly. Stir in cheese and throughly mix. Add pesto cook 3-5 min until thickened. Stir in shrimp cook 5 min or until pink. Serve over pasta.

Pepperoni Penne
3/4 lb sliced pepperoni
2 tbls. minced shallots
4 medium tomatoes seeded and peeled (I haven't tried this but am going to next time...canned whole tomatoes)
1 clove garlic (I used the jarred stuff in the produce section)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
penne pasta
parmeasan cheese

Boil water for pasta add when water is ready. In large skillet fry pepperoni, drain. Add shallot (i have used regular onion when i didn't have shallots and noone seemed to notice) and garlic, cook til clear. Add tomato, cook about 5 minutes. Stir in cream, cook about 8 minutes.
Pour over pasta, top with cheese.

With both of these I get a bagged salad (i add whatever fresh veggies I have handy and cheese) and serve with Italian dressing. Then I use a loaf of store bought "homemade" bread, pour olive oil on a plate and shake a little Italian seasoning (the .99 kind in the spice section) onto the oil swish it around and serve the bread to dip in the oil....

Good luck!

Answer 2

If I were moving to Italy I would wait until I got there and get some receipts from the natives. Getting it right from the horse's mouth so to speak (no offence meant to the Italian's for my comment). When I was in the Far East I got receipts from the people over there and found that receipts compared with the ones given here have a big difference. You will have the opportunity to bring back some of the spices they use also.
