Italian Anyone?

If you want to surprise someone with an Italian meal your safest bet is to go with lasagna, not chicken cacciatore. Lasagna leads the way in a FoodNetwork.com poll, with 34-percent picking the multi-layered pasta and cheese entree to put it at the top of the list of favorite Italian dishes. Pizza comes in a close second as the choice of 30-percent, while eggplant parmesan takes a rather distant third place as the preference of just 17-percent. The sweet tooth has its say with tiramisu. The cake receives a nod from seven-percent of those polled to put it in a fourth place tie with risotto. Meanwhile, only five-percent say they like chicken cacciatore.
