An All Italian Meal
If it isn't red, white or green, don't eat it!
How hard would it be to have a complete meal that consists only of the colors of the Italian flag? Not very! As the anniversary of the founding of the Italian Republic draws near, we have designed a special patriotic menu that is sure to please even the pickiest palates!
Antipasto: Insalata Caprese
A delicious salad made up of thick slices of vine-ripened tomatoes, even thicker slices of mozzarella di bufala, a few leaves of basil, and a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper over the top.
First course: Choice of the following:
Spaghetti al Pomodoro and Basilico (An Italian classic better known as spaghetti with tomato sauce).
For the more adventurous, a gorgeous dish of gnocchi with sun dried tomatoes and erba cipollina in a cream sauce.
Condiments:
To either of these first courses, I would suggest adding a touch of peperoncino, but not too much-this stuff is hot!
Dessert
To finish off, an Italian tricolored granita.
Buon Appetito and Viva L’Italia!
