If you love the flavors of Italian food but don't want to spend a ton of time in the kitchen, this is the cookbook for you.Southern Italian cooking is what most American think of as traditional Italian--saltimbocca, lasagna, spaghetti, fettucini alfredo.  Moretti includes simple but intensely-flavorful versions of these classic dishes, along with some amazing recipes that you might not have seen before (and some luscious desserts!).  My favorites:  filet mignon with gorgonzola, baked asparagus, and lemon ricotta cookies.I very much enjoyed exploring the less-well-known dishes characteristic of northern Italian cooking in Moretti's other book (Northern Italian Cooking).  Then I bought this one, which is like coming home to all my favorites.
