A Tuscan Dinner January 22, 2009

You may not be able to fly to Italy at a moment's notice to enjoy the riches of Tuscany, but you can bring a little Tuscany to your dinner table. Learn to prepare a traditional Tuscan meal at home. Make a salad of fava beans, romano, fennel, and greens; cook penne pasta in porcini mushroom sauce; and chicken al forno, made with olives, tomatoes, and rosemary. A specialty of Tuscany, si torta di nonna, a custard-filled cornmeal creation topped with pine nuts, ends the meal.
