Answer 1

I would prepare the "Bruschetta", or "fettunta" (oiled slice) as we call it here in Tuscany, even if I guess you'll be missing the main 'must' of the bruschetta that's the bread from Tuscany. Ours is a not-salted bread ; try to find something similar in yr place.Preparation of the "bruschetta" is very simple and you don't need to cook it on place.You may prepare the toasted bread slices in advance at home and top them everywhere else, in a second time and in a very simple way. It's an easy, tasty and healthy typical Italian 'antipasto' ...!!
Here is how to prepare it :
Slice the bread, not too thin (0,6/0,7") and put slices on the grill for a 20-25 seconds by taking care they don't burn..!! When slice is golden colored you should turn it and grill the other side. Let them cool, then just rub the slices on both sides with garlic (the white one.!!) and top only one side with (that's mandatory..!!) Italian extra-virgin olive oil , salt , pepper and....enjoy...!! If you want offer just samples you can split the slices. Variations may include toppings of spicy red pepper or tomato and basil.
One more tip - Prepare a lot of paper napskins since hands easily get very oiled. Just in case is however allowed to get hands clean by licking one's own fingers...!!

Pasta al Pesto e patate.
(pasta with pesto sauce and potatoes )

Pesto is a ligurian Sauce.
The basic ingredients of pesto sauce are common to all these recipes: fresh basil leaves, cheese (either Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino), pine nuts , garlic, olive oil and salt and pepper.

4 cups basil leaves, well packed
2 cloves garlic, lightly crushed and peeled
3/4 cup of pine nuts
1-1/2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino cheese (or a combination of the two)
1-1/2 cups extra-virgin olive oil (don't use other oils)
salt and pepper to taste
Place basil leaves and garlic in food processor or blender and process until leaves are finely chopped. Add nuts and process until nuts are finely chopped. Add cheese and process until combined. With the machine running, add olive oil in a slow, steady stream. After the oil is incorporated, turn off the machine and add salt and pepper to taste. If not using immediately, store in an air-tight container with a thin coating of olive oil on top to keep the sauce from turning dark. Pesto will keep well in the refrigerator for a week or more

As you see, the sauce is already made and you don't have to cook nothing!
It is very easy, isn't it?

Now you made the sauce, you have to cook pasta.
Choose a type of pasta: spaghetti, trenette, fusilli or trofie are the most used.

You have to cut potatoes in little pieces ( so that they can be boiled in about 11-12 minutes )

Don't forget to put a little salt in the water in the saucepan!

You have simply to cook pasta, but you have to add the potatoes too. Pasta and potatoes must be put only in BOILING water.

When it is ready, drain it all and in a bowl mix the sauce with the pasta and potatoes.
If you want you can add parmesan.

greetings from Liguria, Italy.

I Hope I helped you


P.s. I 've never heard nothing about Italian Pretsels. Isn't it surprising?

If you want you can add green beans with the potatoes but I'm afraid I don't know how long do they take to be cooked in the boiling water.

Answer 5

Darlin' I learned how to cook Italian food from an old Italian lady, and there are no VERY easy recipes. Italians love their food and put a lot of time and effort into cooking. Food is an expression for them 99 percent of the time. Try going to cooks.com or a similar web site. They may have something close to what you want. There you can browse the recipes and settle on the one that looks easiest to you. Right off the top of my head, Manicotti is probably the easiest.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aMFgF

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 8

okies....this is cheating a bit....get yourself some jar sauce...Ragu will do...some 16oz ziti noodles...15oz ricotta cheese...and mozzarella.. Boil the noodles till al dente (to the tooth)..not mushy but not hard. Drain..put in a 13x9 baking dish. Pour in sauce and ricotta cheese...stir....grate the mozzarella cheese...I throw some in the mix as well as top the whole dish with the mozzarella and sprinkle with some parmesan cheese (kraft will do for easy)...bake for 30 mins on 350. That is an easy way to make some Baked Ziti!

Answer 10

Hi!
I am Italian from Italy and I cook every day super-easy stuff!

'Pasta alla trapanese'
Chop some fresh tomatoes in small dices and leave them with olive oil, basil, fresh garlic and salt as your taste for a while: it's the topping for your boiled pasta!

'Bruschette alla trapanese'
Same as above but you can use the topping with slices of bread toasted or backed.

'inslata di pasta' (pasta salad)
Tomato, olives, tuna, oregan, garlic olive oil ... just mix it with boiled pasta and keep it in the fridge for a while (aboundant olive oild or pasta will be too dry after saying in the fridge)

'Insalata Caprese' (Caprese Salad)
Sliced fresh mozzarella, sliced tomato, olive oil, dry oregano, basil and little salt... just make it look nice ... red (tomato) white (mozzarella) green (oregano and basil) are the colors of Italy :P ...

'Funghi trifolati'
Just slice and very lightly fry common mushrooms with garlic ... put some salt in it while you fry, the mushrooms will produce some water and they will cook in their own souse. Add dry oregano at the end and pepper if you like. Serve with any type of meat.

Easy enough? :-)
