5 easy recipes from the Italian cuisine

The most famous kitchen in the whole world is the Italian kitchen. This Southern European country is known for its many types of pasta, pizza, cheese and wine. A golden combination for the summer and the ideal challenge for us to turn some authentic dishes in Tostibanaan style.

In the Italian cuisine it’s important that you use fresh products. Each region has its own specialties only produced in that certain area. At Tostibanaan we also like to use fresh ingredients and try a variety of creative changes on the same dish. for example, you can go nuts with different types of pasta and pizza. Italians are not only specialised in great food, their coffee is also very popular. Espresso and cappuccino are particularly good. Not to mention the wines they produce. Italy is home to some of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world.

But let’s get back to the food. Every Dutch person uses olive oil or eats tomatoes almost every day. Both also originate from Italy. It’s safe to say Italian products are very well integrated in Dutch fridges and cabinets. This leaves us with more than enough reasons to give the Italian kitchen our own Tostibanaan twist.

Below we listed five easy recipes that will hopefully impress your friends and family. Check them out and let us know what you think!

Mozzarella tomato

A classic Italian dish with only three ingredients. Mozzarella, tomato and oregano. You could say that really anyone can make this. The Italian name for this dish is Caprese, by the way. Caprese goes well with olive oil and green pesto. Because we like to keep things simple, we use only three ingredients.

Green pesto

Almost everyone has a little jar of pesto at home. But this typical Italian sauce, originally from Genoa, is quite easy to make yourself. Combine the basil, Parmesan cheese, garlic and pine nuts and mix them with a blender.

Spaghetti carbonara

Spaghetti is of course also a typical Italian product. Bolognese and carbonara are best known. Like the original recipe, we do not use cream in our dish. The smoked bacon strips and Parmesan cheese give it a powerful bite. Because you prepare everything while the pasta is cooking, you’ll be serving within 20 minutes.

Tortizza margherita

Like the Pizza margherita, but then a tortizza. A tortilla wrap with tomato sauce, mozzarella and basil. Easy and quick to make in the oven. From now on you should always have some wraps in the house. Because of its many options this recipe is ideal to finish any leftovers.
