Simple ingredients, simple techniques, and simply superb results: Italian cuisine made for busy weeknights. From pizza to polenta, these recipes are quick and mouthwatering. Start the meal off deliciously with Grilled Zucchini and Mozzarella, or Roasted Peppers with Caper Dressing. Serve hearty soups, such as a vegetable-packed Minestrone or a family-friendly plate of pasta. Other vibrantly scrumptious dishes include Clam Risotto with Bacon and Chives; Steamed Mussels with Tomato and Garlic Broth; and Sautéed Chicken Breasts with Salsa Verde. Desserts, like Zabaglione with Strawberries, make a sweet end to a wonderful dinner.

I have made about 10 recipes out of this cookbook. They have all been great. I prepare food (chop, peel, etc) ahead of time because I'm busy. Once I'm ready to cook it takes about 30-45 minutes for most meals to be ready to serve. Portions are generous and easily serve more than 4 as noted. Some of the ingrediant lists are long, but still easy.

I lived in Italy for 2 years, and this book has some dishes that I remembered having in Milan and Genoa. There are no extravigant ingredients, everything is simple, and the big color pictures for each recipe make it the best Italian cookbook I own.
