A Quick Italian Feast
A complete menu from crostini to panettone in about three hours—warm chickpeas with balsamic are a speedy first-course crostini topping, and mascarpone cream dresses up store-bought panettone for dessert. You can prepare both these recipes while the main-course osso buco braises in the oven and the barley orzotto accompaniment cooks on the stove.
Menu
Starters
Mixed Greens with Olive Vinaigrette
Wine Pairing: A light crisp white would be good with the salad and the crostini
Main and Sides
Broccoli Rabe with Pancetta and Garlic
Wine Pairing: Serve a red that echoes the wine in the osso buco and stands up to the mushrooms and pancetta
Dessert
Toasted Panettone with Orange Mascarpone Cream
Wine Pairing: Asti has a wonderful orange-flower aroma that complements the cream
