Answer 1

Spinack cheese souce on top of any pasta... delicious!

Answer 2

I like to make an Italian sausage pasta dish. I cut up the sausages and cook em. I add mushrooms, red yellow and green peppers. Italian seasoning, onion powder and garlic salt voila! I guess it would taste even better with a real clove of garlic... I cook up whatever pasta I have and add butter and some Italian seasoning with Parmesan cheese. It's so good, but even better the next day.

Answer 3

I have a great one, but be reminded that true Italian recipes are more then likely family recipes. One of my favorite easy summertime/or when ever is.

Grilled Portabella mushrooms.

Ingredients: Package of Portabella Mushroom (make sure they are very firm as when you cook they could fall apart)

Fresh Bochenchini (Mozzeralla the ones in the water)

Red roasted pepper (you can purchase jarred already to save time)

Olive oil
Garlic
(any other italian seasonings you may like to add to taste)

First soak your portabellas in some water to make sure all the sand is out. (15 minutes) then place them on a napkin for about teh same time so that they can dry.

In that time frame you can prepare the other ingrediants. Slice your fresh mozzeralla into pieces .


Take your olive oil and mix together pieces of your chopped garlic and other italian herbs. Basically creating a dressing minus the vinegar.

Get your mushrooms and brush them once with olive oil. Put them in the broiler or grill (low flame) for about two minutes on each side.

Next take your red peppers and place them on top and last the pieces of fresh mozzeralla.

Brush your mushrooms once more. Keep and eye on them, they take about 5 minutes and thats it.

It is like a nice lunch/or side dish..easy quick and delicious.

Hope you try.
