Got people round on Saturday and decided to cook an amazing slow cooked bolognese with home made tagliatelle.

I want to put some antipasti on the table before the main course, any suggestions? I was thinking bread with olive oil / balsamic, meats, cheeses, olives etc

Any inventive ideas that I could try?

Marinated artichoke hearts.
Griddles slices of aubergine and courgette.
Sun-blushed tomato, basil &mozarella.

You're making me hungry.

Raid the local deli or the supermarket antiopasti section. You can get jarred olives, artichokes, peppers etc, as well as salumi and hams. Some cheese and bruscetta.

Olives, tomatoes and balsamic vinegar should be your essentials.

Bruschetta with an assortment of Italian cheeses (I'd go for Asiago and Caprino fresco) and marinated mushrooms is also a good idea. Peperoncini, maybe stuffed with vine tomatoes, is another idea and although I don't eat meat myself, I often find that cured meats are a staple of antipasti.
