Italian Autumn Fish Dinner
Now that the weather's gotten a bit cooler, you can indulge with a rich baked pasta dish. Our fusilli is extremely flavorful, with Fontina, Gorgonzola, Taleggio and Parmesan cheeses and a drizzle of concentrated balsamic vinegar. Sea-bass fillets and vegetables are baked in aluminum foil packets for an easy main dish. Your dinner guests will be dazzled by the grape and panna cotta parfaits--serve them with amaretti cookies.

Baked Apple Tartines with Walnuts and Armagnac autumn brings the harvest in italy. the meals would consist of tomato sauces, hearty stews made with chicken, beef or pork. roasts are made, and soups as well. pizza is made any time of year. In France, I would say a cassoulet.....it is a bean stew that can be made with any kind of meat. I had a great one when I visited 2 years ago.....it is great with some freshly baked bread and a glass of red wine!
