Delizioso!

Back from Italy and recalling all the meals I have enjoyed and would like to replicate.

La parmigiana di melanzano - baked aubergine, tomato, mozzarella and Parmesan dish.
This is vegetarian comfort food at its best. Sometimes it can be a little too oily so look for recipes which use less oil. Make sure the cheese you use is a vegetarian substitute.

Spaghetti aglio, olio e peperoncino - spaghetti with garlic, oil and chilli.
This is a popular native Italian dish and is very simple yet delicious. Just be sure to share it with those you love - it has a lingering aroma!

Ravioli alla zucca e amaretti - pumpkin and amaretti biscuit ravioli served with sage butter.
The menu for the ravioli translated as ravioli containing pumpkin, candied fruit and biscuit. It did not, however, prepare me for the taste sensation I was about to encounter. So soft, subtle and sweet. There was just a coating of the sage butter which I prefer to full on sauce. Delicious!


I haven't included recipes here as there are plenty to be found on the Internet.

Finally, and only if you have room, finish your meal with a Tiramisu.

Oh yes, to continue my theme, a glass of limoncello or amaretto completes the meal nicely!
