Italian lunch/5 recipes

An Italian Christmas is not complete without this high-domed cylinder of fruit-studded sweet bread.

Roll up! Roll up! For these sensational tasting sushi pieces which have been delicately created to give a subtly sweet and satisfying flavour that would be a great lunch option for work.

A delectable recipe that makes for a wonderful lunch or dinner, it all depends when you’re in mood for a fish dish that’s packed with nutrition and flavour. If you’ve not tried snapper before, then you’re in for a real treat.

If you’re looking for a healthy snack that’s sweet, delicious and super easy to make, this recipe is perfect for you. It only takes 5 minutes to make and is a great way of using up overripe bananas. You could enjoy this as a sweet, delicious breakfast with Greek yoghurt or serve with banana ice cream and fresh fruit for a super healthy dessert. It’s crispy and caramelised on the outside and deliciously soft on the inside. For this recipe it’s best to use overripe bananas as they taste sweeter.

A delicious light snack that is perfect for the kids lunches or as a treat after dinner.

This yummy, quick and easy treat is perfect for summer days or even when stuck inside during the cold months. This was something I used to make for family parties all the time. Before going Gluten free, I would just buy the premade graham cracker crust so there was no baking and it literally took 5 minutes to throw together. All I had to do was make a few hours ahead for it to set and be done. But I must admit, this new adaption, using Almond four taste even better!

Try something new when it comes to meatballs with this tasty recipe that uses mushrooms, cheese and oregano.

Definitely a quick and easy dish. A very clean taste, cooked bacon bits added some nice smokiness and broccoli lightened up the whole dish with lots of goodness. We used whole grain macaroni that added extra fibre to the dish. This is the kind of dish that kids and grown-ups all enjoy.

There are quicker versions of this recipe but this is a classic that's reasonably easy and works perfectly every time.

Orzo, spinach and pine nuts, with garlic, tomatoes and a bit of romano cheese makes an elegant side dish.
