Rice and salami soup with cheese triangles

In Ukraine we usually eat soups as a first course. We've got so many soup recipes that I can't even count them all! Since I moved to Italy I've got used to pasta and risotto but anyway soups are always in my heart (and stomach eh eh), and I cook them rather often for my Italian husband too. Here is one of our favorite recipes - a creamy rice and salami soup with cheese triangles :-) 

To make this soup you need:

Spinach pesto recipe

Pesto is one of the most popular Italian sauces. The classic one is made with fresh basil leaves, but this delicious sauce has a lot of variations. Today I propose you a spinach one. It is light, healthy and you'll need less than 10 minutes to make it!

To make a spinach pesto you need:

Italian baked rice casserole (Timballo di riso)

Timballo di riso is one of traditional Italian rustic dishes. It has a lot of varieties, but the most popular one is made with minced meat, mozarella and tomato sauce. This dish is very rich in taste, flavorful and original. Give it a try - you'll love it! Tastes even better if cooked one day ahead.

To prepare Italian baked rice casserole you need:

Mushroom lasagna (Lasagne ai funghi)

If you are tired of a classic meat lasagna, try a mushroom one. It's really delicious and flavorful. Champignon mushrooms combined with beshamel sauce make it very delicate, light and original. Quick and easy to cook. Tastes even better the second day.
