Toasted bread slices with chicken, goat cheese and tomatoes on top, is a simple but delicious starter. Instead of using french baguette you can toast a bigger bread slice and divide it in two. The classical Italian crostini bread makes the starter more crispy and easy to eat in one bite.

These are simple little bites of bread with salami and two different kind of cheese. A perfect starter, mingle food, or to bring in the picnic basket. If by any chance you have some cheese left, you can always serve it with the rest of the bread after the dinner.

Cannelloni is a very special kind of Italian pasta shaped as a tube. In this recipe I use fresh lasagna plates instead, because it is easier to prepare them like that. This way you get this Italian dish wonderfully crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. One can use different ingredients in cannelloni, but the most common way is to prepare them with spinach and ricotta cheese. In this recipe I make them with ham, zucchini, spinach, arugula and mozzarella cheese.
