Italian Food Italian Food Quick/Easy Recipes Le Basi Classic Recipes From Danette St. Onge, your Guide to Italian Food I've posted three new recipes this week, all from the South and all quite simple to make. One you can have on the table in less than 20 minutes, while the others can easily be made ahead and reheated just before serving. From Sicily, we have Stuffed Eggplants (Melanzane a barchetta). From Apulia, a specialty from the Salento peninsula, the "heel" of Italy's "boot": Pitta di patate, a potato and tomato casserole. And finally, a really quick-and-easy side dish: Sauteed Spinach with Toasted Pine Nuts, that would pair well either of the above. Sicilian-Style Stuffed Eggplants (Melanzane a barchetta) A hearty, easy-to-make dish of tender baked eggplants stuffed with a ground beef, cheese, and eggplant filling flavored with fresh basil. About an hour, start to finish, including 30 minutes of baking time. Get the recipe.
