I love anything with Alfredo sauce! Or lasagna.
My favorite Italian meal is Veal Scallopini. My grandmother & mom used to make this together when I was little.
This side dish would complement all of the Michaels frozen entrees which microwave well. I will make these green beans whether I win or not, but it would be great to win! Thank you Country Cook!
I would choose the eggplant parmigiana
I love a good bolognese.. With organic beef and lots of hers
My favorite is Chicken Cacciatore.
Delicious, I reduced the amount of bacon due to a sodium (salt) reduced diet. Added a can 15oz can of fire roasted tonatoes. When it was done cooking I served it over cooked rice. Great main dish.
Sounds wonderful! Thanks so much Gerrie!
