Introduction

Italian food is one of my favorite cuisines. It's full of flavor, but not too complicated, and it's easy to prepare. From simple dishes like chicken parmesan to complex pasta dishes like pesto bolognese, you'll find plenty of recipes here that will make your next meal feel like a trip home (or at least make it taste like one).

Veal Parmesan

Veal Parmesan is a classic Italian dish great for a dinner party. It's easy to prepare, but it takes time to cook. Veal Parmesan can be made and reheated before serving at your next get-together.

If you're looking for some quick Italian recipes for entertaining guests this weekend, try this classic recipe! You'll love how easy it is—and everyone will love the flavor!

it's easy to prepare, but it takes time to cook

The time it takes to prepare and cook your Italian food depends on how much you're making. If you want to make only one meal, then it's quick! You can do this in just 20 minutes or so. But if you want to make several meals at once—say, for lunches or dinners over the weekend—that will take longer because there are more steps involved:

You'll need some sort of container (a pot or bowl), parchment paper (or foil) for lining the container with, and some kindling materials such as newspaper or cardboard squares cut into small pieces about 1-inch square.

Baked Ziti

This is a classic Italian dish that’s easy to make and delicious. It can be served as an appetizer or even as a main course.

Ingredients:

●     1 lb ground beef (or turkey)

●     1 cup onion chopped fine

●     2 cloves minced garlic

●     1 tsp dried oregano leaves chopped fine

●     1 tsp dried basil leaves chopped fine

• In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, then drain off the grease with paper towels. Add ingredients except for pasta in the above order, mixing well after each addition; cook until heated, stirring often – about 5 minutes. Stir together cooked pasta with meat sauce right before serving so it's slightly cooled down by the time you serve it up!

Italian Grilled Cheese

If you want to make a quick and easy lunch, this Italian Grilled Cheese sandwich will surely be your go-to. The ingredients are simple, but the taste is delicious!

Ingredients:

●     Bread (use good quality bread)

●     Tomato sauce (one jar of good quality tomato sauce)

●     Mozzarella cheese slices (1/2 cup mozzarella cheese)

●     Balsamic vinegar & olive oil mixture

Spaghetti Carbonara

This is a classic Italian dish you may have tried at home or in restaurants, but it's simple enough to make alone. The key ingredient is the creamy sauce made from eggs, pancetta (Italian bacon), pepper and Parmesan cheese. It's delicious served over spaghetti or linguine with a side salad for a quick meal!

Italian Pot Roast

●     Place the beef in a large mixing bowl and add the flour, salt and pepper.

●     Brown the beef in hot oil over medium high heat until browned all over, about 5 minutes per side (or longer if you prefer). Remove from pan and set aside while you brown the rest of your ingredients; it's easier to get everything started at once that way!

●     Add onion and garlic to pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil; cook until soft but not browned (about 5 minutes). Stir frequently so they don't burn!

●     Add carrots into same pot along with any other vegetables you're using—onions are enough here so don't worry about adding too many other things just yet! Cook for 5 more minutes then deglaze by adding broth or wine mixture from previous step

Fettuccine Alfredo

Fettuccine Alfredo is a classic Italian dish that has been made for centuries. It’s easy to make, too!

If you want to create your own version of fettuccine alfredo at home, try using heavy-bottomed saucepans instead of shallow ones like you would use for pasta that needs less water. This will help keep everything from sticking together and ensure there isn't too much liquid on top of any other ingredients (like cream). The sauce should be creamy and smooth—not too thick or runny; but also not runny enough where it gets stuck under the lid of your pot when you remove it from heat after cooking for about 20 minutes over medium heat until all ingredients have melted together evenly without burning anything in sight either side which creates splatters everywhere including inside our mouths where we don't want them going down there either!

Chicken Marsala

Chicken Marsala is a classic Italian dish that has been around for years. It’s basically chicken breast sautéed in marsala wine and then served with pasta or rice. The traditional recipe uses capers, olives, tomatoes and mushrooms but you can easily substitute these ingredients with your own preferences.

The secret to this dish is the delicious sauce made from buttery garlic-infused olive oil and thickened with flour (or cornstarch). You can serve it over pasta if desired but it tastes just as delicious if you eat it alone!

This easy Italian recipe makes enough food for two people because each serving contains 6 oz of meat per person! If you want something more substantial though then I recommend doubling this recipe so that everyone gets their fill of tasty goodness!

Chicken Parmesan

You can make this dish with either fresh mozzarella or provolone, but if you’re looking to save time, use the pre-packaged stuff.

Start by prepping your ingredients: buy a good quality marinara sauce and chicken breast (the fresher the better), as well as Italian bread crumbs (which will help keep everything together).

Next up is cooking those chickens! Heat up some olive oil in a pan on medium heat then add all the sliced veggies until they start to get tender. Once done add garlic cloves along with herbs and spices like oregano and basil into this delicious mix of goodness before adding salt & pepper too finish off cooking time!

Bolognese Sauce

Bolognese sauce is one of the most popular Italian dishes and is easy to make at home. You'll need:

●     1 small onion, chopped

●     2 cloves garlic, minced

●     1 pound ground beef (or turkey)

●     2 cans tomato paste (about 26 ounces)

In a large skillet or pot over medium heat, cook the onion and garlic in olive oil until translucent. Add ground beef or turkey and continue cooking until browned all over. Stir in tomato paste until well combined with meat mixture; add water if needed so that mixture doesn't get too thick while simmering on low heat for 30 minutes. Serve with pasta noodles or rice!

Rigatoni with Meatballs and Ricotta Salata

●     Meatballs:

1 lb ground beef, pork and veal mixed together

1 egg

1/2 cup bread crumbs (you can substitute with cornbread, but it won't be as tender)

Salt and pepper to taste.

This is a list of recipes that you can make for dinner parties, family meals, and even yourself. The most important thing to remember when making these dishes is to use high-quality ingredients.
