(A combination of simple and fast courses for your Easter menu)

Courses Ricotta and artichoke pie with cold cuts   Egg spaghetti alla chitarra with speck   Lamb with mushrooms and potatoes   Dessert with strawberries and pastry cream Wine Casteller Freisa d'Asti dolce Lampone

This combination of courses is very tasty and you can realize it easily.
It's a typical Italian lunch for Easter with an appetizer, a first course (spaghetti), a second course (lamb) and, finally, a dessert. In Italy we have the habit of eating eggs, a good dish with pasta, lamb and a tasty dessert for Easter.
You can also prepare some of these dishes in advance, such as the pie with artichokes and ricotta cheese. If you prepare it the day before, the pie is tastier. You can serve it cold or warmed up the day after. You can accompany it with the cold cuts you prefer: raw ham, boiled ham, smoked ham, salami ...
You need 60 or 90 minutes for preparing all these dishes; it depends on your ability and if you have anyone who helps you. The pasta recipe is very quick. When lamb is cooking, you can prepare your dessert. If you want, you can substitute strawberries with another dessert.
Consult our dessert index.
The doses of every recipe are modifiable easily.
The wine we have chosen is Casteller, a red wine from Trentino - Italy.
You can serve Freisa d'Asti (a dessert wine) with strawberries.
