My husband is 100% Italian. When he was 4 years old his mother immigrated to the United States from Italy. He grew up eating some of the best Italian foods and let me tell ya, my mother-in-law is a fabulous cook!
I love Italian food but didn’t grow up on it. Now that I am an adult, I really appreciate a great tasting lasagna but I am picky…I like homemade lasagna noodles and not store bought junk.
The hubby will eat just about anything Italian. He is all over spaghetti & meatballs, lasagna, cheesy baked eggplant, rigatoni, baked ziti…etc. He loves the traditional Italian meal with the main dish, a salad, bread and a glass of Italian wine.
When it comes to Italian food…what are some of your favorites? Do you prepare this type of cuisine often or just enjoy it once in awhile as a special treat?
Italian food is a favorite in our house, usually pasta and sauce, sometimes with meatballs. And I make casseroles, stuffed shells, and chicken dishes, too. I do sometimes make my own pasta, although I don’t have a roller so I only make small batches at a time. I love lasagna but seldom make it (why is that?), and sometimes for a switch I make lasagna rolls. There’s such a variety of foods in Italian cuisine, but I only make a few types (again, why is that?).
Congrats to the winners!! We loved Italian food over here too, especially lasagna and chicken parmesan! I have never made homemade noodles before. I am a little intimidated!
Congrats to the winners! I’m with your husband. I love all foods Italian! I try to make something at least once a month. I used to make it more often, but there’s no such thing as “quick” Italian food and since there’s just the two of us it’s just too much work.
Congrats to the winners.
I can no longer eat tomatoes so that leaves out a lot of Italian food. Some dishes with a white sauce work for me.
I love Italian food and make it 3-4 times per year. I love making manicotti, zucchini lasagna and spaghetti.
I love cooking with herbs and add a lot of my home grown herbs to my Italian dishes.
Italian food is my very favorite and I can not get enough of it. I too love to have an italian main dish with a salad and some bread.
I am not so picky when it comes to food. I love all kinds of Italian food just nothing with bell pepper since I am allergic.
