<p>To enjoy a taste of the good life without spending too much time in the kitchen, keep it simple-but use top-quality ingredients.
For instance, for a light supper in minutes, toss crisp salad greens with silky strips of luscious Prosciutto di Parma?and shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano?cheese and drizzle with a warm balsamic vinaigrette.
Both imported from Italy, Prosciutto di Parma and Parmigiano Reggiano are readily available <a href="http://simcitybuilditcheatshack.net/" target="_blank" >simcity buildit hack cydia</a> at many supermarkets, specialty food stores and Italian grocers. Look for the Parma crown on the ham at the deli counter or on imported packages of presliced <a href="http://www.appnanahackcheats.club/" target="_blank" >appnana hack cheats</a> Prosciutto di Parma. And make sure you’re getting Parmigiano Reggiano by looking for the name spelled out in pin dots on the rind of the cheese. If you substitute domestic products for these world-famous Italian imports, the results simply won’t be the same.
