Adele's True Love Italian Chicken
Recipe by:

Anyone who truly loves you will love you with garlic breath, too! Chicken is pan seared and then finishes cooking on a bed of garlic cloves. Toss with tagliatelle and herbed tomatoes and onions. Use any cut of chicken you like with this recipe - two pieces per person.
Andrea's Pasta e Fagioli
Recipe by:

This is a recipe I adapted from my grandmother's. This warm and comforting soup is easy to make and perfect for a Sunday evening with crusty ciabatta.
Asparagus and Smoked Salmon Farfalle
Recipe by:
Myra
This is a light summery pasta salad that I love because the flavours go so well together. Lemon juice and a drizzle of good olive oil finish everything off nicely. It does taste best when chilled for 1 or 2 hours.
Veneto Chicken
Recipe by:
CHRISTYJ
A chicken dish fit for a gondola ride - 'Veneto' means this recipe originated in Venice! Serve with cooked rice or a risotto. To save time purchase already prepared chicken pieces from the supermarket or lacal market.
Basil Chicken with Vermicelli
Recipe by:
Wendy Mercadante
This is the ultimate comfort food on a rainy night - and quick to prepare. Add the dried red chilli flakes if you want a bit of spice.
Pesto Del Sol
Recipe by:
WMAURO
After they soak in the sun all summer long, I cut down my basil plants and make this gorgeous pesto. This basil pesto is mellowed with fresh spinach and enhanced with black olives. I make big batches and freeze in small containers for the whole year. It will keep in the refrigerator for a week. Toss with pasta, spread on meat or sandwiches, or add a spoonful to flavour your favourite recipes. Enjoy!
Best Italian Pasta Sauce
Recipe by:
KRAZYBARB
The secret ingredient in this pasta sauce is bicarbonate of soda - but do not taste the sauce right after adding it. Wait a while, and this sauce will not disappoint. Stir in parmesan and keep simmering. Let the flavours meld overnight, then serve over your favourite pasta.
Ragù Bolognese
Recipe by:
MARBALET
This is not your ordinary 'spag bol' - this recipe comes straight from Bologna. One unusual characteristic of this sauce is that there is no garlic in it, but there is a hint of ground nutmeg. Serve over pasta.
Boniet
Recipe by:
The Iron Chef -- Suzi-Q
This is an old Italian recipe from my nonna's kitchen. It is a spread of anchovy, parsley and garlic and is meant to be eaten with crusty warm bread. It is almost sinful to share this secret recipe with the world, but I know you'll love it as much as my family and I do. Refrigerate overnight for best flavour.

Chicken Cacciatore with Pancetta
Recipe by:
dbarrett
A warming, substantial dinner if served with mashed potatoes or pasta. It smells delicious as it's simmering with fresh herbs and white wine. You can use prosciutto or bacon if you can't find pancetta.
Homemade Pasta
Recipe by:
Linda
This is your basic traditional recipe for pasta. Don't forget that fresh pasta cooks much quicker than dried. You can use a dough hook attachment on your electric mixer or your hands to make the dough.
Pesto
Recipe by:
ANDERVAL
Classic pesto - made with basil, olive oil, pine nuts and Parmesan cheese. I like to add fresh chopped parsley to finish - a deviation from the traditional recipe - but feel free to omit this! Pesto is so versatile...try it on toasted sliced baguette, toss through pasta or use as a quick topping for barbecued chicken, lamb or salmon.
Homemade Spinach Pasta
Recipe by:
McKenzie Delling
Make your own fresh, spinach-flavoured pasta. Try serving with a simple, creamy sauce.
Alla Checca
Recipe by:
Star Pooley
A wonderful Italian recipe for an uncooked sauce made with fresh tomatoes. You don't have to cook a thing except for the pasta!
Linguine Amatriciana
Recipe by:
Christine L.
For a quick and flavourful Italian classic, pan fry bacon or pancetta and add onions, garlic and dried crushed red chillies. Cook with canned whole peeled tomatoes for a mere 10 minutes, stir in fresh parsley or basil and toss with cooked spaghetti. Pass the Parmesan and enjoy!
