We've fallen in love with deep-dish pizza, and, luckily, you don't have to travel to Chicago to get it. In fact, you don't even need an oven. Just a slow cooker.
With simple ingredients – think ground beef, tomato sauce and cream cheese – you can turn out an impressive dinner that only takes 25 minutes of prep. In fact, this is the perfect dish for company. Make it ahead and let it bake while you visit.
Not that making pizza dough is such a big deal now that we have Jim Lahey and no-knead and Smitten Kitchen’s detailed schedule for getting homemade pizza on the table at night, but I do want to point out that there are all kinds of other vessels to carry your tomato sauce, cheese, and toppings...
Minestrone soup is an Italian classic! This version is made with cannellini beans, chicken stock, cabbage, potato, zucchini, carrots, plum tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese.
