3 Mouthwatering Italian Dishes to Try this Summer

3 Mouthwatering Italian Dishes to Try this Summer

June 29, 2020 by Jeremy Lindy in Wine & Spirits

Italian cuisine is delicious. There’s nothing more satisfying than eating a bowl of pasta after a long day of work. Also, everyone knows that New Yorkers love their pizza. People who are trying to stay home more should read about these Italian dishes to try this summer. All of these meals are amazing, and you’ll love bringing your family together for dinnertime.

Saffron Risotto Milanese

Everyone gets tired of eating the same thing over and over again. Home chefs should think about ditching traditional spaghetti and meatballs and make saffron risotto Milanese instead. This meal is incredibly delectable and easy to prepare. One of the best things about this dish is that it’s lightweight. That way, you won’t be incredibly bloated after dinner. Since it’s not too heavy and only takes thirty minutes to make, this is the perfect Italian dish to try this summer. You won’t have to spend the entire day in the kitchen. Instead, you can soak up the sun and prepare the recipe when you’re ready.

Caprese Salad

Not everyone likes to have carb-loaded meals in the summertime. The heat outside can make you uncomfortable as it is; eating tons of carbs can only make it worse. Try making Caprese salad if you’re looking for something light. The key to this dish is using high-quality ingredients, such as fresh mozzarella. Your salad will taste amazing if you buy superior products and use a unique dressing to bring out the flavors.

Of course, you can always read more about authentic Italian cuisine and find ways to make this dish to your personal taste. This flexibility is just another reason why Caprese salad should be on your list of Italian dishes to try this summer.

Homemade Pizza

New York is synonymous with great pizza. One fun family activity to try this summer is making your own pizza. It’d be best if you wore a mask to the grocery store while you picked up your supplies. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box, either. Everyone will have a blast cooking with unique ingredients. Once you have everything you need, set up a pizza cooking system in your kitchen. One person can lay on the sauce while another is in charge of the toppings. When the pizza is finished, you’ll have a blast enjoying it as a family.

This summer will look different from others in the past. New Yorkers will likely stay at home more to slow the spread of COVID-19. However, being a homebody isn’t necessarily a bad thing. For instance, you can spend more time in the kitchen trying unique Italian recipes. The dishes listed will satisfy every craving you have and make your time in the kitchen more enjoyable.
