As the summer months draw to a close, it is becoming more important than ever that we make the most of the sun while we can. There are few better ways to enjoy the outdoor sunshine than with a beautiful picnic or garden dinner party. But what should you serve? Here are four simple Italian dishes that were just made for these occasions.
Tomato and Mozzarella
This dish is perfect for a refreshing starter. Simply plate up slices of fresh mozzarella, large tomatoes, and basil leaves. Alternatively, instead of basil, you could pour on some pesto. The taste is much the same but the pesto is better to dip into.
Garlic Shrimp Linguine
Another fresh dish that will leave you feeling rejuvenated, this seafood classic is always a crowd-pleaser. Simply serve up a plate of garlic marinated shrimp with long linguine pasta and olive oil.
Vegetable Pizza With Capers and Anchovies
This always tastes best if it is a homemade pizza. Top with tomato puree, pesto, mozzarella, mushroom, red onion, sweet peppers, capers, and salty anchovies. Each bite is like heaven.
Lasangne
This party classic never fails. Simply serve up a thick lasagne oven bake with a side of fresh salad and fries.
