Lucia's Breakfast Cake
Breakfast in Italy is a sweet and simple affair that typically consists of a cup of cappuccino and a pastry. This cake is like tender shortbread.
Mascarpone and Berry Parfaits
An easy substitute for the mascarpone, a soft Italian cream cheese, is 12 ounces cream cheese blended with six tablespoons whipping cream and 1/4 cup sour cream.
Farfalle with Gorgonzola Sauce
As in all of Italy, pasta is served as a first course (primo) in Tuscany.
Fettucine with Porcini Mushroom Sauce
Dried porcini are sold at Italian delis and in many supermarkets.
