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.
Italian-inspired rice balls made with lean ground beef are rolled in crumbs and baked, not fried. They are flavored with Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses, and served with prepared pasta sauce.
This recipe introduced to me by an Italian woman combines thin strips of chicken breast in a lemon butter sauce with bacon, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, and capers; served over bowtie pasta.
Italian salad dressing does wonders for chicken breasts, especially if they are left to marinate for several hours in the fridge. Then just before grilling, each breast gets a sprinkling of lemon pepper.
This salad is dressed with a lime vinaigrette and has lots of crunch and flavor with a little jalapeno pepper pop. Use summer fresh ingredients from the garden or farmer's market.
No green pepper in this recipe, so it's a hit with kids. We added this to the menu at a children's camp, and it has been a favorite for several years. The mixture is thick, so they are 'neat' rather than sloppy. This freezes and reheats well.
This crisp, fresh salad contains all your favorite antipasto ingredients--artichoke hearts, mozzarella cheese cubs, sweet little tomatoes, salami, and red bell pepper strips.
