1. Crostini with Gorgonzola and Pears
This appetizer is easy to make and perfect for those who love the flavor combo of cheese and fruit. To make this dish, you’ll need a baguette, gorgonzola cheese, pear, honey, and walnuts.
Slice the baguette and toast it in the oven until crispy. Cut the pear into thin slices and place them on top of the toasted bread. Crumble some gorgonzola cheese on top of the pear slices and drizzle with honey. Lastly, sprinkle some chopped walnuts over the crostini.
2. Aperol Spritz
The Aperol Spritz is a classic Italian cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. To make this refreshing cocktail, you’ll need Aperol, Prosecco, soda water, and orange slices.
In a glass filled with ice, add three parts Prosecco, two parts Aperol, and one part soda water. Stir gently, and garnish with a slice of orange.
3. Margherita Pizza
A classic margherita pizza is the perfect dish for any Italian-themed night. You’ll need pizza dough, tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and basil leaves.
First, preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Roll out the pizza dough and spread tomato sauce over it. Add mozzarella cheese, and place the pizza in the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Once the pizza is out of the oven, add a handful of basil leaves.
4. Tiramisu
Finish off your night with a classic Italian dessert, tiramisu. Here’s what you’ll need: ladyfingers, espresso coffee, mascarpone cheese, sugar, and cocoa powder.
