Answer 1

Italian Breakfast

Hearty breakfast of Italian sausage with eggs in French bread smothered in spaghetti sauce.

Recipe by Papa Cantella

Ingredients

2 Italian sausage links, Hot or spicy

1/2 cup spaghetti sauce

2 tablespoons butter

4 French bread slices, 1 inch thick

4 large eggs

2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

Directions

Cook the sausage using about 1/4 inch of water in the bottom of a pan and cover. Fry the sausage when the water is gone until browned. Heat the spaghetti sauce, then reduce heat and cover to keep warm until serving.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in frying pan over medium heat. Cut a 2 inch hole in each slice of bread and butter one side. Put 2 slices of bread into the frying pan butter side up. Crack 1 egg carefully into the hole in each slice of bread and cook for about two minutes. Flip bread and eggs over to butter side for another minute. Add more butter if needed.

Serve with one sausage link and pour some spaghetti sauce over the eggs. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Answer 2

Coffee and a pastry

Answer 3

Breakfast: croissant, biscotti and coffee, granita and brioche

Lunch: Biggest meal of the day. Starts with pasta, then proceeds to some sort of meat and vegetable and bread, and ends with fruit.

Dinner: lighter meal. if a lot of meat was eaten during the day, then they'll opt for pasta, or vegetable dishes.

Dessert: Not an everyday thing. gelato. cannoli. etc.

Tomato and cheese are in almost everything. Chicken cutlets or meatballs are served several times a week. and pasta is a daily ritual. Fresh tomato sauce is made every Sunday, and the entire family gathers to eat it together. bread is at every meal regardless.  Breakfast is light and is usually just coffee and cookies to dunk into it.

if you have specific questions just email me.

*** hey Angel, I'm Italian and just to let you know. no Italian would eat that for breakfast. It's too rich and hearty. That's an American dish with Italian-esque influences.
