Menu planning
- - You can serve Parmesan ice-cream in different ways. It may be a main dish for your family. In this case accompany it with seasonal salad or raw vegetables and a portion of bread (50g - 1 3/4 ounces).
- - Parmesan ice-cream can be a starter in your special occasion menu. Serve it in antipasto platter combined with ham, hard-boiled eggs or boiled, steamed fish.
- - It may be a cheese course at the end of a lunch for a special occasion; in this case you needn't prepare a cake. Your lunch may finish with fresh fruits.
Don't choose this dish for dinner. Remember: no cheese at dinner according to good manners at table. - - In both last cases the doses are sufficient for much more than 4 pesrone, at least 10.
Healthy eating
- - This is a recipe rich in fat. Don't eat it too much and too often!
If you like it and want to prepare it for your family lunch, as I've just written, accompany Parmesan ice-cream with seasonal salad or raw vegetables and be careful planning the other meal. Choose pasta and vegetables. - - If you want to drink a glass of wine remember you have to add 80-85 calories per 100ml.
- - I remember you my original home recipes can be made without salt. There is always a combination of flavors that substitutes salt. To browse the site, look closely at the navigation bar. For Italian food color is green and the home page is "Italian cooking".
