When I think of Italian food, the first thing that comes to mind is spaghetti. My instant pot spaghetti recipe is packed with hearty homemade marinara sauce, perfectly cooked ground round, and juicy tomatoes. And it is done in about 15 minutes!
The second most common Italian food is lasagna and I have an easy recipe for that too. It has thick layers of gooey cheese, rich tomato sauce, and deliciously seasoned beef.
Another one of my favorite Italian dishes is pizza but this one is different than most. It is made with mini sweet peppers and whole sweet basil leaves. It also has tangy and sweet tomato sauce and creamy mozzarella cheese.
This recipe went viral on TikTok in minutes so I made my own version and it is amazing. It has salami, ham, pepperoni, and provolone in a soft hoagie roll doused with sweet and sour sauce. Delicious to the last bite.
For dessert, these buttery cookies are fancy enough to look like they came from a bakery but simple to make with just a handful of ingredients. In fact, you can decorate them any way you like. I like to make extra and give them as gifts to family and friends.
