Dinner help needed

uhmm... saltinbocca alla romana comes to mind. That's small veal escalopes with a piece of parma ham and a sage leaf pinned on top. would go nicely with noodles & a light sauce (although usually risotto is served with it). I sometimes just toss chopped cherry tomatoes, basil and olive oil with my spaghetti. Bit of salt and pepper of course. Or add some lemon oil, too.

Bruschette with raw chopped tomato/onion/basil on top for starters. Very light.

as a dessert, I just made zabaione with my mom a while ago. That's egg yolks, sugar and white wine whipped up together in a bain marie until "set". Some recipes call for Marsala (a sweet wine) but we found it's "too much". We did add some vanilla, and served it over strawberries. satisfying as tirami su but not as horribly fattening. You gotta have some fat.

Can you tell I'm hungry ? And I had leftover lasagna for lunch - a big serving.
