Italian food
Try this simple but delicious homemade spaghetti sauce recipe made with garlic
and fresh basil.

Perfect to serve on it's own with
spaghetti or add it to your mince for a
quick bolognese.

Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan
for that typical Italian flavor!



Fresh Basil for pesto Pesto is a tasty and versatile dip, made with pine nuts, parmesan and fresh basil. A fantastic way of using up excess fresh basil from your garden!

Try using walnuts in place of pine nuts if that's what you have on hand, and substitute romano cheese in place of parmesan cheese if you prefer a stronger flavor.

Or why not try making your own bread?

Focaccia is a superb Italian bread made with sliced olives and rock salt for that rustic country feel. An easy to pull apart bread, it's the perfect accompaniment to go with your picnic fare.

Focaccia is also a fabulous bread for making sandwiches, spread it with a thick layer of pesto. Yum! And make sure you try it toasted, divine!

Need something easy to make that's a little more on the sweet side? If you've never eaten biscotti you're in for a pleasant surprise.

Originally created in Tuscany centuries ago, the name biscotti translates to mean twice baked biscuit and that's exactly what they are.

Simple to make and available in many different varieties they're sure to become a firm favorite.

Any one of these easy-to-make Italian food gifts would be a great addition to your Italian gift basket. Look for some interesting jars or bottles to put your sauces in and add a decorative lid or label for that finishing touch!

Just remember your sauces and dips won't last as long as store bought ones so make them as close to the time of gift giving as you can and date the labels too.
