My husband says this dish is restaurant quality. It can be made ahead and kept in the refrigerator overnight. Very filling and great served with a salad and garlic bread.
When your garden is full of fresh veggies, this is the recipe to reach for. All you need is a salad and you have a terrific late-summer meal.--Debbie Jones, California, Maryland
A spicy tomato-based sauce loaded with fresh zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms and spicy Italian sausage is served over browned polenta rounds and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. You can substitute yellow squash or eggplant for the zucchini depending on your tastes.
You can make this dish ahead--just cover and refrigerate or freeze after you've spread the final layer of marinara sauce. Serve with a salad and breadsticks to round out the meal.
The relish that accompanies these slightly spicy cakes reminds me of the pickley olive salad you get in a New Orleans muffuletta sandwich; in fact, as a variation, I like to make salmon cake sandwiches.
A delicious and easy quinoa pilaf with sauteed onions, carrots, and walnuts. Served with a salad and crusty bread, this pilaf makes for a complete meal.
Breaded tofu a la parmigiana. You'll just about swear this is eggplant or veal! One of my husband's favorites, and he doesn't even suspect! Serve with a simple crisp green salad, angel hair pasta and garlic bread.
