Hi Sandra!
I very much enjoyed your writing! Now I am VERY hungry for good Italian cooking! It sounds delicious. I made some changes to the grammar (such as verb tense). The words that are highlighted in yellow are where I made some changes such as adding a different word or moved words around for grammar purposes. Please let me know if you have any questions! :)
Dinner with Friends
Yesterday I had my friends over for dinner. ( I had my friends for dinner would mean that you ate your friends for dinner ) I was really excited because I like to cook for other people, and I hope to be a good cook!
Because I work all day long and I have not much time, I began to prepare the dinner the day before. I decided to offer to my friends three different kinds of savoury pies and a pasta.
First of all, I cooked the stuffing for the pies.
One of the stuffings was a mixture of stewed vegetables: tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, zucchini, onions and carrots. After the cooking, I mixed them with eggs, parmesan cheese and a lot of mozzarella.
The second one was easier, I only cooked potatoes with cheek lard (the cheek lard is an italian specialty that's very tasty!); after the cooking, I added eggs, parmesan cheese and mozzarella.
The last one was more delicate. At first, I cooked leeks and carrots; after that I added salmon in slices.
Then I put the stuffing in puff pastries already done. I'm not very good at knowing how to prepare it, but I would like to learn!
These pies have been prepared the day before, instead, the pasta has been prepared when all my friends were at home eating the pies, drinking wine and waiting for the dinner.
The pasta I made is called "pennette alla vodka".
I browned a lot of onions, after I had added bacon in pieces; and after a while, I poured a big glass of vodka into the dish. After the vodka had been poured into the dish, I added tomato puree. It needs to cook for a long time to take on the flavour. At the end of the cooking, I added milk cream. For the pasta, I used, obviously, pennette.
For cake, while I was cooking, a friend of mine prepared a variation of a typical Italian cake: tiramisù, but he used red fruits juice and strawberry instead of coffee.
Everybody said to me that it was a good dinner, and this made me very happy!
