Quick Italian Recipes

The quickest dessert, other than a bowl of ice cream, is a perfectly ripe piece of fresh fruit, and this is how Italians usually end their meals. But if you want a little more, here are some ideas:

Mousse al Melone
Cantaloupe mousse, a delightfully refreshing summer treat.

Strawberries with Balsamic Vinegar
This has become popular of late, and it's easy to understand why.

Arance al Marsala
You do have to chill the oranges after adding the Marsala, but the actual preparation is quite fast.

Budino Di Semolino
A quick, easy pudding well suited to a family meal.

Tiramisu
There are hundreds of recipes for this simplest of desserts. Here's my favorite.

Cenci
Or Frappe, or Chiacchere, or... Lots of names for this quick and tasty Carnival pastry, which is good any time.

Frittelle
Quick, mouth-watering Carnival fritters for children of all ages. Again, good any time.
