"Quoting from the book, "My last meal would consist of a plate of sliced San Daniele prosciutto with some ripe black figs; linguine with white clam sauce; a plate of Grana Padano; and perfectly ripe, juicy peaches." She also notes these would be paired with a selection of wines from her family vineyard, Bastianich Wines. The simple spread of Italian favorites is filled with satisfying tastes and textures, and Bastianich also noted her wine preferences for each course."
"Describing the specifics of her meal, the first course would include San Daniele prosciutto, a type of prosciutto known to be especially aromatic. She mentions she'd pair this with a Bastianich Rosato wine. She also cites Bastianich Vespa white wine to match the linguine with white clam sauce."
The proposed last meal consists of sliced San Daniele prosciutto with ripe black figs; linguine with white clam sauce; Grana Padano cheese; and perfectly ripe, juicy peaches. Each course has a wine pairing from a family vineyard, including a Bastianich Rosato with the prosciutto, Vespa white with the linguine, and Morellino la Mozza for the cheese and peaches. The ingredients emphasize simplicity and high quality, showcasing rich Italian flavors. Accessible substitutions can recreate the spread without expensive or hard-to-find items. The combination balances aromatic cured meats, briny seafood pasta, nutty aged cheese, and sweet fruit for a range of tastes and textures.
