I need an Italian dish to cook for cooking class?!
Answers: so the dish has to be for dinner or a desert. I need the recipie for ur idea, thnx!
I think Risotto alla Milanese is a good option - it's fairly easy to make and comes out great at long as you pay attention and choose good quality ingredients.
Risotto is traditionally served on its own in Italy, as a primo (first course), not along a meat dish as it is often done in the US, so I would just focus on making a great Risotto!
A few tips:
- choose a good extra-virgin olive oil to sautee the onions
- use dried Porchini mushrooms, not boletus or other - it really does make a difference
- use powdered saffron, which is easier to dose than strands and gives more color and flavor
Buon appetito!
Make an osso buco and remember the fresh lemon zest at the end. It'l be great. serve with a classic risoto milanese... if you can get porcini mushrooms.
tiramisu is a fav in my family.. :)

Get a can of Spaghetti-Os. Put in on a plate. They'll never know the difference.
Go to the Food Network website, search for sausage and peppers by Giada. Great easy recipe that everyone loves. Good luck!
Cook Penne. It's a kind of pasta. After it's baked, add pepper, and in the serving bowl use Classico Four Cheese. It's awesome! And bay leaves add flavor. Use some sort of herb to mix around as well. Oregano, Parsley, Basil, etc.
Unfortunaely, I can't name Italian desserts except Gelato, but Gelato is EXTREMELY fattening.
This is a dish we make for weddings and can be served hot or cold. Cook your bowtie pasta according to the instructions on the package. Dice scallions, red bell peppers and artichoke hearts. Add the veggies to the hot or cooled pasta. Dress with a lemon viniagrette and serve parmesan cheese on the side. You can add to this dish by cooking boneless chicken breasts that are cooked and then dressed with the lemon viniagrette that are then thinly sliced to the pasta.
