Hi friends! How is your week going so far? I hope all is well.
And today I'm going to give you a little inspiration for the the upcoming Valentine's Day dinner or for any other times that you feel like adding some Mediterranean vibes into your day. I'll keep it simple yet elegant.
Today, I'm cooking not just a regular everyday dinner, but an Italian-inspired "Mangia" style dinner. I have to say, it was the first time for me to decorate a table aka Italian way, but I totally loved it.
Starting with the easy and delicious appetizers and finishing with a light and sophisticated dessert, I made sure, no details …show more content…
Then I cut a long thin string out of wide golden ribbon and pulled it through a small hole in a printed flag. I took a white napkin and band the string around it.
As an additional embellishment, I added a sprig of rosemary and voilà! How cute is that?
As a food blogger, creating a menu is my favorite part. What's cool about this Italian inspired dinner is that if you follow my suggestions, you won't spend much time to make it. Last week I happened to be at our local Kroger store and picked up a fully cooked main dish that greatly simplified the preparation of my Italian inspired dinner. It is Bertolli frozen meal found in the Meal Solutions aisle.
Let's be honest, there are times in every homemaker's life when you absolutely don't feel like cooking. I feel like this very often. That's why freezer meals or how I call it "emergency food" comes in handy. Luckily, Bertolli has such a great variety of quickly to pull off freezer meals, easy to satisfy everyone's taste.
For my Italian inspired dinner, I picked up Bertolli Chicken Margherita & Penne, which tastes and look good and so …show more content…
Just heat up the pan, pour in the content of the package and cook for 15 or so minutes stirring occasionally. Delicious and hearty Italian meal is ready.
And now, for the sweet part. I don't know if I told you but Italian cuisine is one of my favorite. So, for this hearty and filling meal, I wanted to make a traditional Italian dessert, that will be light but decadent and easy on the eyes.
The name of this sophisticated dessert is Zabaglione. What's cool about Zabaglione recipe is that you can make it in no time. Don't you just love the desserts that are delectable and easy to make? Well, I got covered. Just follow the simple steps and I'll turn you into Italian chef in a twinkle of an eye.
Before you start, make sure the egg yolks are at room temperature. That way, it'll be easier to work with them.
For the garnish of my Zabaglione, I chose fresh strawberries, chopped caramelized pecans and Savoiardi (Ladyfingers) biscuits. You can use pretty much any garnish that you like. Some of the suggestions are raspberries, mixed berries, sliced toasted almonds, biscotti crumble. The Ladyfingers biscuits are quite easy to find in the most grocery
