Italian food has a reputation for hearty, rich comfort dishes, but traditional Italian cuisine is equally celebrated for light, sun-kissed Mediterranean cooking during summer months.
Savoring the Lighter Side of Italian Cuisine
During hot summer days in the Pacific Northwest, diners often crave refreshing meals focused on garden herbs, extra virgin olive oil, and seafood.
Refreshing Summer Dinner Ideas
- Lemon Garlic Butter Prawns: Sautéed jumbo prawns tossed over angel hair pasta with white wine, garlic, and fresh parsley.
- Caprese Salad Plate: Sliced ripe tomatoes, creamy fresh mozzarella, basil leaves, and balsamic glaze.
- Thin-Crust Vegetarian Hearth Pizza: Topped with fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, bell peppers, and black olives.
Pair your meal with a crisp Pinot Grigio from Northern Italy for an effortless summer dinner!
