Hi All,

I love Italian food. I'm just looking for interesting / Fantastic Italian dishes that I have never tried before.

Any ideas?

Have you ever checked out Jamie Oliver's -- Jamie's Italy?
It is loaded with Italian dishes. I have the cookbook but I have to admit most of the recipes are for a more experienced cook than me. Giada De Laurentiis's American spin on Italian cooking is more my speed.

what do you want - I just may have it - I'm just an old Italian cook don't forget! LOL

I recently got a water bath canner to put away some tomatoes from this years garden.
I would love a marinara sauce recipe or any recipes you recommend for canning tomatoes.
My husband says if I pricked my finger in the summer I would bleed tomato juice. Love tomatoes so much I eat them with crackers for breakfast when they are in season.
My father in law grew low acid tomatoes for me the year I had an ulcer. They were not the same lol.

To keep your options open, my recommendation is that you can whole or quartered tomatoes; plain sauce; and plain juice. You can then use those products to make any sauce you want at the appropriate time.
