ckreef Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 It's actually 9 courses but I combined a couple courses so it's served as a 7 course meal. It was supposed to be 10 courses but in the middle of all this I forgot to cook one of the courses - oops by that time I was 1/2 a bottle of Prosecco down and well that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it - LOL. I used this guide for a full course Italian meal: https://toscanaslc.com/blog/guide-to-the-traditional-italian-meal-structure/ Here’s all my ingredients pictures. Aperitivo Antipasti Primi Secondi Contorni - the forgotten course Insalata and Formaggie Frutta combined Dolce and Caffe combined Digestivo Here are a few "action" pictures And dinner is served........ Aperitivo - chilled Prosecco with Cranberry Cheese (Mrs skreef made me do it). Antipasti - tomato crostini drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and 18 year aged balsamic vinegar. Primi - Cheese tortellini drizzled with Alfredo sauce. Secondi - XL (7 Oz.) Meatball served in sauce. Insalata and Formaggie Frutta combined - Spring mix leafy greens with feta cheese and fresh blueberries served with a blueberry balsamic vinaigrette. Dolce and Caffe combined - Savoiardi (lady fingers) stuffed with orange flavored Italian sweet cheese and dipped in dark chocolate. With a side of espresso and some Canadian sugar in the raw. Digestivo - finally Limoncello served in frosted glasses to wash it all down. I am officially stuffed - LOL - gotzero, Golf Griller, Andrey and 15 others 16 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffieBoy Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 @skreef(We no longer have Olive Garden restaurants in Ontario) Thats why Olive Garden chairs have wheels, to roll you out the the parking lot because you can’t walk... @ckreef At our house, a 7 course Italian would be 6 glasses of prosecco and a bowl of “sgetti”....

LOL I'm good with your kind of full course meal. Counting that way mine was closer to a 15 course meal. Mrs skreef drank half a glass. I drank the rest of the bottle............

ckreef Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 Thanks everyone. I took my time and me and Mrs skreef had a nice relaxing meal. Once I got serving the meal it probably lasted 90 minutes. Although some parts were prepped and ready ahead of time some was cooked as we went along. I plan on doing more Sunday afternoon full course meals in the future. If I'm not worried about money shots it would be even more relaxing. dh14ster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
