1. ummm PASTA !!
2. how about a good old four cheese pizza and any pasta? That would make my day! :) go to www.foodnetwork.com enjoy and i hope i helped.
3. lasagna is actually pretty easy and a great italian dish to make. check out the recipes on food network's site. it's great because it's hard to mess up and it looks like it's harder to make than it really is.
4. fettuccini alfredo! just boil some pasta & make the sauce - i use the "quick and easy alfredo" recipe from allrecipes.com. mix with some steamed broccoli and grilled or sauteed chicken pieces & voila! (some other suggestions: lasagna, baked ziti, calzones, pizza, shrimp scampi, pasta carbonara... just do a search on allrecipes.com for great recipes for all of these. hope this helps - i LOVE italian food! don't forget the garlic bread!)
5. Spaghetti Bolagneise!!!! for sure!!! There are so many ways you can do it it becomes your own so if you want it to be special spaghetti bolagneise is the best because its sort of your own personal italian recipe :) All you have to do is boil spaghetti (or any pasta you want) until it's cooked (you can tell its cooked if its not hard and sort of rubbery or if you fling a bit at the wall and it sticks). Then for the sauce just brown an onion and a clove of garlic, add mince meat and cook, adding salt. then add a can of diced tomato's or fresh (your choice), about one and half to two table spoons of tomato paste, about a tbsp of basil, a tsp of sugar and a tbsp of lemon or citric acid. mix all together and continue adding until you've got the taste you want. you can add veg's and herbs to your liking. you can even add red wine if you like. put the pasta on a plate and pour the mince sauce on top! hey presto! very easy VERY yummy :) good luck.
