If you’re a regular reader of the blogs posted here at Lehman’s, you might have seen my last two additions, Mexican and Korean dishes. I love both of those regions’ foods, and the recipes there are some of my absolute favorites.
This time, it’s a real crowd pleaser – Italian! When you think of Italian dishes, you probably think of delicious pastas with creamy sauces, crunchy bread with olive oils and garlic, a great selection of cheeses, and of course, the best pizza in the world. Maybe seafood, like shrimp, also comes to mind, or chicken crusted with Parmesan. Just about every ingredient associated with Italian food makes the mouths of most water. This blog post includes two pasta recipes (of course), and one recipe that might surprise you!
To add a fun flair to your dinner, add some classic opera music, or cover the table with a red and white checkered tablecloth and use some fresh flowers in an old bottle as a centerpiece.
After dinner, watch a classic Italian movie, like Roman Holiday. Perhaps the best-known and most classic movie set in Italy, Roman Holiday is Audrey Hepburn’s beloved comedy about a princess setting off to explore Rome, or a Room with a View. Based on the classic 1908 novel by E.M. Forster, A Room With a View opens with the adventures of a young Englishwoman, Lucy Honeychurch, as she explores Florence–complete with plenty of places that are recognizable to visitors today, driving home just how long travelers have been infatuated with Tuscany!.
So back to the recipes – the real star of the evening. Baked spaghetti is a staple dinner at my parents’ house, and I am so glad that it is. This meal is so delicious, filling, and takes a lot of ingredients that we usually have in the kitchen already. Everyone that tries it, loves it, and the recipe makes plenty for the whole family.
