Genuine Italian food sucks, eat the localized Italian food, it's much better.

Chicken saltimbocca!
Take chicken breasts. Slap on some salt and black pepper.
Dip them in flour, then in egg, then in breadcrumbs.
Deep-fry until they're cooked about 2/3 through (this isn't that exact, so don't sweat it).
Let them cool and heat your oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
Take some pieces of mozzarella and wrap slices of prosciutto around them.
Slice the fried breasts lengthwise and put in the mozzarella/prosciutto rolls.
Bake in the oven for about half an hour.
I recommend a lighter Chianti with this. Have fun!
Cappelini is angel hair pasta. You just boil it for a minute or two, it comes out al dente. You'll want to cook it last, of course.
For the pomodoro sauce, you will need:
fresh plum tomatoes (you know, the ones about the size and shape of eggs)
fresh minced garlic
fresh chopped oregano leaves
fresh chopped basil leaves
just a splash of olive oil.
All these proportions are to taste, needless to say.
Chop up the plum tomatoes. Dice them in maybe 1/4" pieces or a little smaller. Mix with the other ingredients and store it COLD until just before you're going to serve it.
Prepare pasta and put it on a plate, still hot. Microwave some of the sauce, or warm it up quickly and gently in a nonstick pan and put it over the pasta. JUST WARM IT, we don't want to actually cook it--that would make the tomatoes lose their fresh tomato flavor, which is the centerpiece of this sauce.
Put the sauce on the angel hair pasta. Maybe sprinkle on a little grated Parmesan cheese and put some fresh parsely on top of that as a garnish.
Makes a great main dish for a light meal, wonderful on summer days. Goes nicely with garlic bread, a light salad, fresh fruit for dessert, and a dry red wine.
Hey, listen to me for a moment, a'ight? I don't care if it's not related to this thread. Just listen!
Yesterday, I went over to the Ristorante di Milano for a simple meal. Yes, THAT Italian restaurant, Ristorante di Milano.
But the whole restaurant was so crowded, I couldn't even find a seat for hours!
Then I saw a poster that said "Special offer! €12 discount".
I thought to myself... geez, that's so fucking amazing. You guys don't even normally visit Ristorante di Milano.
All you bastards came here just for that stupid-assed €12 discount.
Just for those 12 Euros. TWELVE FREAKIN' EUROS!!
Then I saw some parents & children. A family of four eating out at the Ristorante di Milano. Damn, so much for that bitch's home-cooked family feast.
Then one of the little brats said "Daddy's gonna order a large Bruschetta Fegatini".
I couldn't believe it! Uuuuuggh, are you out of your fucking mind!?
Shiiit, i'll pay you €12 just to move your stanky fat-ass out of a seat.
Dude, you just don't go to the Ristorante di Milano for that lala-oh-i'm-so-happy dinner bullshit.
It's where you pick a fist-fight with the fucking guy sitting across 'yah in that U-shaped table.
Kill or be killed. Heh... now that's the kinda shit I like.
Ladies, kids, stand back... 'cuz everything's gonna get FUCKED UP NOW.
After waiting for ages, I finally found an empty seat. But then, the guy next to me ordered by saying "A large Neopolitan pizza with a LOTTA' pepperoni".
Dude, that just pissed me off even more. Shit, you just don't say "lotta' pepperoni" nowadays, ya' freaking bastard.
How the fuck can you say "lotta' pepperoni" with that "oh, i'm so fucking cool, hur-hur-hur..." look!?!?
Damn, I was THIS CLOSE to standing in front of his face and yelling "DO YOU EVEN LIKE EATING THAT MUCH FUCKIN' PEPPERONI!?"
For a freaking hour, I was THIS CLOSE to doing that.
Shit, I bet you just wanted to use the words "lotta' pepperoni" out loud. Wow, you're so clever.
Dude, you gotta be like ME. See, now I know what's "all that" in the Ristorante di Milano.
What's cool right now to say is "Pennette con Ricotta & Melanzane". That's it!
You see now, a large pasta serving with aubergines & ricotta is what the hardcore Ristorante di Milano freaks eat. Like ME.
Saying "Pennette con Ricotta & Melanzane" means that won't get a pizza, but they put a WHOLE MESS of pasta.
Mmmmm... a lotta pasta, now THAT'S what I call a meal.
But anywhoo... ordering that is kinda' like a double-edged sword. Cuz' then the waiters might notice you the next time you come by.
So yeah, I can't reccomend this to noobs.
For you, just go order a Prosciutto e Melone al Ventaglo. That's as far as you can go, you know what i'm sayin'?

1 large pref. heirloom or beefsteak tomato,
1 (I don't remeber what you call it, not a block of it but a... blob? round? whatever) mozzerella cheese,
1 huge bunch of fresh basil,
3-4 tsp olive oil,
slice tomato and cheese thickly, lay 1 slice tomato on 1 slice cheese, chop basil put a lot on top each tomato/cheese dealy, drizzle with oil, eat.
Seriously my brother works at a pricey bed and breakfast deal where they sell these for 8$ for a fucking tomato/cheese slice as an appitizer. And damnit it is good.
