An Easter treat


A special menu for a special day, Easter Sunday: a tasty antipasto; first and second courses featuring fish; a very seasonal side dish; and for desert, naturally, a traditional dove-shaped Easter Cake.
Antipasto
> Croissants with hard-boiled eggs
Filled croissants are some of the tastiest, most irresistible hot antipasti that there are; among the many variations, we have selected one with a hard-boiled egg and besciamella filling

First course
> Spaghettoni with olive paté and giant clams
Clams and olives are both salty flavours. The meat of the giant clams has a 4/5 centimetres diameter and they are recognisable by two little "horns".

Second course
> Trout with parsley
In this recipe we offer you a second course featuring trout baked with wine and flavored with a delicious sauce enriched with meat extract, parsley, butter and lemon

Side-dish
> Asparagus au gratin
Native to Asia, asparagus was enjoyed by the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. Asparagus is a favorite spring vegetable with an unmistakable flavor. Here we are presenting a baked au gratin version as a side dish that is as sophisticated as it is irresistible.

Dessert
> Dove-shaped Easter Cake
A traditional Italian Easter dessert is a light sponge cake in the shape of a dove called a Colomba. The recipe we are presenting here incorporates another classic Italian dessert: the Paradise cake
