<div style="text-align: center;">The best time to be creative is on those nights where you don't feel like going to the grocery store and just feel like staying in. This forces you to use only the ingredients you have available to you in your fridge and pantry in order to turn them into something wonderful. In my case, I found some leftover bread and decided to create two different crostini.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx2953ukZhBYVmVY5HOF9ItkffDuqp-GFYkApRZ6VaEux2xPPZoo9-aGANKEvC40wWBWBOw2MRxgBlYpeV3vfUqJww6e9nlU5bMe_N2cYjSJd_-PGrf5NxloYsCtSyzOOC5TZdd1gdZAM/s1600/IMG_1877.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx2953ukZhBYVmVY5HOF9ItkffDuqp-GFYkApRZ6VaEux2xPPZoo9-aGANKEvC40wWBWBOw2MRxgBlYpeV3vfUqJww6e9nlU5bMe_N2cYjSJd_-PGrf5NxloYsCtSyzOOC5TZdd1gdZAM/s640/IMG_1877.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Crostini with bocconcini,pancetta, zucchini and sun dried tomatoes with a balsamic reduction on top</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlxkTbuHROd71rTSSSRzz2lyhk7Oju6oLzZUSamYr3CHM5l0ibbeJKfyfq5nuJp3E71YfjWH0Wyt-IF-zvnmIgrglyLes2lLVIdfo9mu9CmCxd6Oakppb5OCbw7GXnBi92wEsHBXi7wv0/s1600/IMG_1878.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlxkTbuHROd71rTSSSRzz2lyhk7Oju6oLzZUSamYr3CHM5l0ibbeJKfyfq5nuJp3E71YfjWH0Wyt-IF-zvnmIgrglyLes2lLVIdfo9mu9CmCxd6Oakppb5OCbw7GXnBi92wEsHBXi7wv0/s640/IMG_1878.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Crostini with ground beef and veal, topped with sautéed mushrooms, parmesan cheese and truffle oil </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<li>Bocconcini</li>
<li>Pancetta ( slices are preferable )</li>
<li>1 Zucchini </li>

<li>1 clove of garlic</li>
<li>1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar </li>
</ul><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Step 1: Cut the zucchini and sun dried tomatoes into small cubes, and mince the clove of garlic. Add olive oil to your pan and cook your zucchini and sun dried tomatoes. After five to seven minutes you can add in the minced clove of garlic and let it cook for about seven more minutes. Remove the zucchini and sun dried tomatoes and put them into a small bowl.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Step 2 : in the same pan ( after the zucchini and sun dried tomatoes have been removed) add in your slices of pancetta. Let the pancetta crisp up (should be about seven minutes on medium heat). Remove the pancetta slices and place them on an absorbent piece of paper and pat them down to remove the excess oil. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Even though there was plenty of pizza and pasta in my stomach by the end of my jouney, I made sure to try to get a taste of the other things that make Italian cuisine so recognized and fabulous! Throughout my trip, my goal was to try the specialty or renowned dish of each city or area that I was visting.

I was fortunate enough to try all three of them during my stay in Rome.</div><div style="color: #333233; font: 14.0px 'Lucida Grande'; line-height: 14.0px; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The key to getting the perfect plate of Cacio e Pepe is to keep some of the boiling water that the pasta was cooked in. Once the pasta is cooked al dente, quickly drain it and add it to a large serving dish or bowl. Then add the grated pecorino cheese and a generous amount of black pepper. Slowly add in a bit of pasta water and start mixing until all of the cheese is melted and the dish has a creamy, smooth consistency.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
