HIGHEST Rated Family Italian Dinners 🍝
Published 24 days ago • 1 min read
Hi Reader,
Golden edges. Deep-red sauce.
That satisfying weight of a full plate held in both hands. These dinners know how to make an entrance, and they never leave leftovers.
Top-Rated Italian Dinners
They’ve been tested, loved, and rated by my readers...right beside the clinking Chianti glasses of the family tavola.
Marcella Hazan's Bolognese sauce recipe is as authentic as can be. Simple, everyday ingredients—beef, onions, carrot, celery, milk, wine, and cheese—come together in a pot, simmering for hours, what can only be described as heaven on a plate.
Pasta with butter and Parmesan appeals to nearly everyone. This pasta's brilliance lies in it's simplicity, universal appeal, and endless add-in options.
Spaghetti carbonara, a pasta and sauce rich with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and guanciale, pancetta, or bacon, is a quick and easy dinner that takes just 25 minutes from stove to table.
This mashup of pasta and frittata combines some of my favorite comfort foods for a rich, cheesy, inexpensive pantry meal. And the variations are endless, too.
This fresh tomato tart is laden with slices of summer tomato—preferably heirloom—on an herbed crust topped with creamy goat cheese and finished with a pesto vinaigrette. Elegant and impressive yet (shhhhh!) really quite easy.
Pistachio gelato, made properly, relies upon nothing but pistachio paste, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, and salt for its flavor and color. That's why true pistachio gelato isn't Frankenstein green. Spoons at the ready!
This authentic tiramisu recipe is made with layers of ladyfingers that are dunked in spiked espresso, and a whipped mascarpone and egg mixture. It's light, creamy, and so very satisfying.
