Italian is a great cuisine that is full of great recipes for both savoury and sweet, with dishes like pizza, spaghetti, pesto, risotto, gnocchi and tiramisu.
This is a classic rustic Italian method of cooking chicken with garlic and rosemary then simmering in wine. Tomatoes and olives add colour and kick.
This is called all'Arrabbiata in Italian, which literally means "angry", a nod to the spicy kick in this dish.
This is so quick and simple that it will soon become a family favourite, just prepare and come back hours later for your Italian dinner.
This classic Italian dessert is made with sponge finger or savoiardi biscuits and mascarpone cheese.
This slow cooker recipe forms a juicy and delightfully tasty gravy with carrots, celery and onion. Delicious served with boiled rice or couscous.
This is my variation on the classic Italian recipe + lots of variations (see substitution section). I used to always use bought pasta sauces until I realised how much better it is making your own and it's just as easy! My family has diverse tastes so depending on who I'm cooking for decides which version I make! Vegetarian for my mum, meaty for my brother, traditional for my dad etc...
This is a wonderful chicken and pasta recipe that uses a rich lemon butter sauce. It is relatively easy to make and compared to its amazing taste.
A wonderful Italian recipe for an uncooked sauce made with fresh tomatoes. You don't have to cook a thing except for the pasta!
This is a thick and rich Italian dish that just oozes flavour. I have made this so many times that the page in my recipe book is speckled with the sauce. Please don't use beef shank as it is too tough. This is also suitable for a slow cooker but you will have to reduce the liquid content.
This is a dish that you can put in anything you like. It is great for hiding veges for kids. They love it. because it is chopped up small they don't really notice. Be adventurous. Substitute for your fave ingredients. Use what you have in the fridge.
