(NAPSA)—Lovers of la cucina Italiana may be delighted to dis- cover that the most delectable Ital- ian cooking marries a medley of regional styles from nearly 100 provinces within Italy’s 20 regions. To celebrate this delicious vari- ety, the Olive Garden Italian Restaurant draws from the flavors and cooking styles of Italy’s varied regions in delivering the genuine Italian dining experience. In fact, the staples of a typical Italian kitchen—olive oil, fresh herbs, garlic and vegetables— serve as basic ingredients for many of Olive Garden’s new menu items, including these appetizers: • Bruschetta: A Tuscan favorite that is made with Roma tomatoes tossed with sun-dried tomatoes to enhance sweetness and flavor; fresh basil and garlic. It’s served with toasted ciabatta, a slipper-shaped bread also found in Tuscany. • Tomato & Mozzarella Cap- rese: This traditional Italian appe- tizer is layered with sliced vine- ripened tomatoes (drizzled with balsamic vinegar), fresh basil leaves, fresh mozzarella, then sea- soned with extra-virgin olive oil, crushed black pepper and sea salt. New entrées are bursting with flavorful fresh vegetables, sea- soned with Italian herbs and enhanced with classically Italian sauces: • Spaghetti delle Rocca: This light dish originates in Southern Italy, but variations are enjoyed throughout the country. It fea- tures a savory tomato sauce with vine-ripened cherry tomatoes, olives, mushrooms, onions, basil and garlic tossed with spaghetti. • Mediterranean Shrimp Scampi: From Venice and areas around the Adriatic Sea comes this dish with large sautéed shrimp, fresh, vine-ripened cherry tomatoes, olives and white wine served over linguine. • Mixed Grill: A mainstay throughout the Italian countryside, this entrée is comparable to spiedino misto found on most menus in the region of Tuscany. Mixed Grill is skewers of chicken and Italian sausage served with roasted potatoes and seasonal veg- etables. The chicken is marinated with olive oil, fresh lemon juice, garlic and rosemary; the sausage is served over a rosemary demi-glace. Reminiscent of the sweets found in an Italian pasticceria, Olive Garden’s new desserts are light and traditional: • Lemon Cream Cake: A deli- cate white cake with a subtle whipped lemon filling. • Berries & Zabaione: Straw- berries and blueberries topped with a light Marsala custard. Throughout the year, Olive Garden sends culinary managers to its own Culinary Institute of Tuscany to enhance their knowl- edge of traditional Italian cook- ing, bringing the genuine Italian dining experience to its guest. To date more than 200 managers have trained there and have been immersed in the food, wine and culture of Italy. Bring the freshness and flavor of Italy to your dinner table with this recipe for Mixed Grill: Olive Garden’s Mixed Grill “Spiedino misto (skewered mix), the traditional style of skewering chicken and sau- sage, is a mainstay in Italy,” says Giacomo Ciabattini, Olive Garden executive chef and director of culinary develop- ment. “This favorite summer- time dish can be found in restaurants throughout the Italian countryside.” Olive Garden’s Mixed Grill is skewers of grilled chicken and Italian sausage served with roasted potatoes and sea- sonal vegetables. Wine Pairing Recommendation: Ruffino Aziano Chianti Classico Ingredients: 2 lbs skinless boneless chicken breast (4 oz each) 1 lb Italian sausage links, mild 1 pint cherry tomatoes 1 bag bamboo skewers, soaked in water Marinade: 2 tsps Colavita pepper oil 2 tbsps chopped fresh rosemary 1 / 2 cup fresh lemon juice 1 tsp salt 3 bay leaves broken into pieces 2 large garlic cloves pressed Directions: * Cut each piece of chicken in half length-wise. * Thread each chicken piece onto a skewer; add a cherry tomato to the end of each skewer. * For chicken marinade, in a large baking dish mix pep- per oil, rosemary, lemon juice, salt, bay leaves and pressed garlic. * Place each chicken skewer in the marinade and marinate for at least three hours. * Bake sausage at 350° F for 20 minutes.
