I'm of the "don't deviate one iota from the recipe school" so it's been fun learning to improvise
Zuppa di Ceci (Chick-pea soup) "Soup (of) Chick Peas"
Tomato based soup with pureed chick peas (garbonzo beans, also used for hummus)
Maccheroni with Lamb Ragu
Pasta ( I used Fettuccine noodles) with a spicy marinara like sauce. Thick and chunky, like stew over pasta
Farfalle with Gorgonzola Sauce
Farfalle is bow-tie pasta, with light Gorgonzola cheese sauce.
Chicken Saltimbocca
Chicken breasts with italian ham and sage, pan fried with sauce. "saltinbocca" I'm told, means "jump in the mouth", the sauce has a certain kick to it.
Marsala Braised Carrots
Carrots and onions simmered in a wine sauce
Canolli (Pizzelle cookies with anise and whipped cream)
Pizzelle are the flat lacy cookies, about 4 inches wide. You can cook them in an iron, and when they're hot, you roll then into Canolli tubes. After they cool, the tubes can be filled. Anise is a licorice flavored extract.
Think I gained like 5 lbs. Good stuff.
