Everywhere I read this days or when watching food shows on TV it is "chimichurri".

I went to a Brazilian BBQ place once, having heard how awesome the whole experience was. I was looking forward to some beef, cut off the roast at the table and all the side dishes. Unfortunately, we arrived between lunch and dinner, and had to order something from the regular menu. I think I had a half decent chicken sandwich and fries or something. Real let down.

Hard to beat steak with a good chimichurri. Empanadas with chimichurri come in a close second. Buenos Aires home cooking can be a culinary adventure because of the cultural diversity of the city.

Empanadas for me, too. Yummy.

Easy italian here means also making fresh pasta in the time it takes to boil the pot of water. I use Jamie Oliver's friend Gennaro's method to make pasta in about 3 minutes - check out this podcast:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boSyVjkf4to
While the pasta rests 5-10 minutes before rolling and cutting, I pull out the food processor and mix 1 cup of toasted walnuts, 1/2 cup of fresh basil, a clove of garlic and olive oil (adding slowly, probably around 1/2 to 3/4 cup in total) until I get a decent pesto. I usually season it, adding salt and ground pepper.
Now the pesto's done, just quickly roll out the pasta, roll it up into a tight jelly roll and slice to the thickness you want...easy!
Boil the fresh pasta (takes far less time - watch it), top with sauce and freshly grated grana padano.
A very easy way to impress your date!

My favorite make at home pasta is any pasta, I just love pasta. I am craving pesto at the moment though. I'm a southern girl who loves Italian food so I'd love to have this book.

I like to make my own homemade pasta. It's time consuming but worth it.
