Simple ingredients, simple techniques-and simply superb results: Italian cuisine was made for busy weeknights. From pasta to 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 as a main course-like a vegetable-packed Minestrone with Arborio Rice. Everyone loves a plate of pasta; it's a real family favorite. 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. And don't forget the desserts, like Zabaglione with Strawberries and Ricotta Ice Cream with Honey and Almonds. They make a sweet finish to a wonderful dinner!
