Answer 1

ITALIAN DOUGHNUTS

Vegetable oil, for frying
Olive oil, for frying
1 pound prepared pizza dough
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Pour equal parts of vegetable oil and olive oil into a large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F.

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/2-inch thickness. Using a floured 2-inch cookie cutter, cut out doughnut rounds. Using a floured 1-inch cookie cutter, cut out a hole in the center of each doughnut. Gather the dough scraps and re-roll to cut out more doughnuts.

Whisk the sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl to blend. Set the cinnamon-sugar aside.

When the oil is hot, working in batches, fry the doughnuts until they puff but are still pale, about 45 seconds per side. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the doughnuts to paper towels to drain. Cool slightly. While the doughnuts are still warm, add to the bowl with cinnamon-sugar and generously coat each 2 times with the cinnamon-sugar. Serve warm.

Alternately, cool the fried doughnuts to room temperature. Stir 3 ounces milk chocolate and 1/4 cup whipping cream in a heavy small saucepan over medium-low heat until the chocolate melts. Set aside until the chocolate sauce comes to room temperature but does not set. Dip 1 side of each doughnut into the chocolate mixture. Sprinkle with finely chopped toasted almonds or crushed espresso beans and set aside until the chocolate is set.



ITALIAN WEDDING COOKIES

1 1/2 cups unsalted butter
3/4 cup confectioners sugar, plus 1/3 cup, for rolling
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups finely ground blanched almonds
5 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups sifted all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Cream butter in a bowl. Gradually add confectioners sugar and salt. Beat until light and fluffy. Add almonds and vanilla. Blend in flour gradually and mix well. Shape into crescents using about 1 teaspoon for each cookie. Place on ungreased cookie sheets, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Do not brown. Cool slightly, then roll in the extra confectioners' sugar.



PIZZETTAS w/ OLIVE TAPENADE AND PECORINO CHEESE

1 jar olive tapenade (10 to 12 ounces)
12 ounces store-bought pizza dough or 2 dough rounds
Olive oil, for drizzling
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
Salt and pepper
1/4 pound Pecorino cheese, thinly sliced

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Stir the garlic into the tapenade. Cut the dough rounds into 4 pieces (1 1/2-ounce pieces) and roll those out to 1/8-inch (if possible, roll out to desired thickness by using a pasta machine). Cover the top of the rolled out dough with olive paste and garlic mixture. Drizzle each pizzetta with olive oil. Sprinkle the thyme and salt and pepper on top. Lay the pecorino on top of pizzetta.

Place the pizzettas onto a lightly floured baking sheet. Bake them for 15 minutes or until light brown (a cracker like thinness and texture). Let cool for about 10 minutes, and serve.

Answer 4

Something my daughter has loved since she was 2 or 3. Spaghetti Salad. With children that age you need not put the vegetables in it. Just take and cook spaghetti strings the way you normally do. Drain and rinse until cool. Toss with Good Seasons Sun Dried Tomatoe Salad dressing. The kids will love it and what can be more Italian?

Answer 5

You probably want something that doesn't need to be cut up or reheated - How about bruschetta? Italian bread cut on the bias, toasted on a grill (I broil it for a minute after the broilr has heated the rack to get the stripes) then topped with tomato slices and cheese. Let the cheese melt a bit. The tomatoes might be too messy so perhaps you could substitute a spoonful of tomato sauce.

1 recipe basic pizza dough, recipe follows
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups thinly sliced yellow onions
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups thinly sliced green bell peppers
1 pound Italian sausage, crumbled
1/2-pound provolone, sliced
2 cups button mushrooms, sliced
2 cups your favorite tomato sauce
1/2-pound mozzarella, sliced

Divide the dough in half. Roll each half into a 12-inch circle, about 1/2-inch thick. Press the dough into 2 greased 12-inch deep-dish pizza pans. Cover with a clean dish towel and let rise 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions. Season with salt and pepper and saute for 2 minutes. Add the peppers, season with salt and pepper, and continue to saute for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

In the same pan, over medium heat, add the sausage and render for 4 to 6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Lay 1/4-pound of the sliced provolone on the bottom of each pizza. Spoon 1/2 the onion and pepper mixture over each pizza. Sprinkle 1/2 of the sausage over the onion mixture on each pizza. Scatter 1 cup sliced mushrooms over sausage. Spread 1 cup of the tomato sauce over the top of each pizza. Layer 1/4-pound mozzarella slices over top of each pizza. Drizzle with remaining olive oil. Bake the pizzas for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove the pizza from the oven and cut into individual servings.


Basic Pizza Dough:
1 package active dry yeast
2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
1/4 cup lard or vegetable shortening
3 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
Olive oil
In an electric mixing bowl, whisk the yeast, sugar, water and lard together to make a paste. Add the flour and salt and mix, using a dough hook, until the dough comes away from the sides and crawls up the dough hook. Remove the dough from the bowl. Grease the bowl with olive oil and place the dough back in the bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide dough in half. Roll the dough into balls, cover, and let the dough rest for 15 to 20 minutes. The dough is ready to be shaped.
