As the cuisine Italian cuisine

Italian cuisine is one of the most popular cuisines in the world. Very popular outside of their country of origin, the chefs were able to maintain the same taste of Italian cuisine and a passion for food by the following points in mind while.

Italian food always tastes much better when using fresh ingredients. frozen ingredients or ingredients from a supermarket, where probably approaches the expiration date are not acceptable. EvenTo maximize the impact they can have your ingredients on the recipe to ensure that what you type is right.

Learning to improvise. Important things to remember one of, if you choose the cooking of Italian food is that it is almost always a good substitute for an ingredient that is not available when cooking. For example, with pasta in a traditional spaghetti recipe that requires not a bad idea.

Confirmation to save time and resources. Most of the ItalianThe chef will tell you today that has not lost his honor when the spaghetti of buying from a supermarket, rather than deciding for themselves. While zero is worth it if you have pressed hard for time, motion and see how you can minimize the time wasted. Also could never throw away an ingredient live on another day and then add more flavor to the plate to do tomorrow.

Learn everything you need for the dough, practically a mustin every Italian table. Where possible, forget about cooking with fresh garlic, if you try Italian. Cheese is another big player in the circuit of the Italian cuisine is recommended to integrate, learn as much as possible about the different types of cheese and the courts, the best in it.

Are important ingredients in Italian cooking with olive oil (preferably extra-virgin olive oil) instead of margarine or butter is the key. This, combined withsay fresh tomatoes instead of canned tomatoes, and then it is certainly not among the noodles (this is a mistake many people do) Boil pasta in a decent overall. A glass of wine Italian red wine offers a great addition, but not in possession of a glass and bottle.

Cooking is an art form, almost as many Italian chefs and ingredients you can taste the olive oil and many, even if you do not meet immediately. Pursue, practice, and make cookinghealthy and tasty food is a habit, rather than a treatment.

Giada De Laurentiis's Whole-Wheat Linguine with Green Beans, Ricotta, and Lemon

Not all cream sauces are super-rich. This pasta gets its creamy sauce from a combination of part-skim ricotta and pasta water, which come together to make a really easy, lighter cream sauce. Don't leave out the lemon zest; it brightens the flavor and adds a wonderful lemony aroma as well. --Giada De Laurentiis





Whole-Wheat Linguine with Green Beans, Ricotta, and Lemon

1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

1 garlic clove, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
Zest of 1 lemon

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water. Transfer the hot pasta to a large heat-proof bowl and add the ricotta. Toss to combine.

Meanwhile, in a large, heavy skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the green beans, garlic, salt, and pepper and sauté for 4 minutes. Add the reserved pasta cooking liquid and continue cooking until the beans are tender, about 4 more minutes. Add the ricotta-coated pasta to the pan with the green beans and toss to combine. Add the tomatoes and toss gently. Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with the lemon zest. Serve.

Disappointed - not enough recipe variety - jazz lover -
This book was highly recommended by 2 food blog friends who gush about it as their entertaining Bible. I was disappointed in it because many of the recipes seem to be very similar from page to page. The book itself looks nice - pretty photos, nice layout. But there's not much substance or excitement to the too simple recipes. I wouldn't make any of these for company as they are too basic and not anything memorable. I like my copy of the cookbook from Elizabeth's on 37th St., of Savannah for her more company type recipes. I'm glad I didn't spend a lot of money on this book.
