Italian lunch/8 recipes

Italian Burgers recipe

Modified from a fine cooking recipe for a more reasonable serving size, a cheesy Italian baked pasta dish that's satisfying and filling for two.

A favorite in Boston, especially at Fenway Park.

This prosciutto, fontina and sun-dried tomato tart was brilliant. The combination of these three ingredients and the buttery-crispy puff pastry was absolutely delicious!

A make-ahead Italian Spaghetti that can be ready in a flash. Just re-heat and serve.

I squeezed a bit lemon juice and grated some fresh lemon zest to give it a zing, which actually worked beautifully. Certainly well satisfied our palate and tummy at the same time. A yummy and healthy way to enjoy a stir-fry pasta.

Something about bacon goes so well with spinach. Using a hot bacon dressing wilts the spinach just the perfect amount, not rubbery and not too mushy and packed with flavor.

Not only desserts attract people's attention at Halloween party, try this delicious cheesy oozy calzone snake, everyone will love it!

Sweet potato, lentil and green beans are cooked IN a curry, garlic and ginger flavoured vegetable broth in foil packets, so flavourful. Enjoy these small and tasty packets.

A classic deli sandwich. Could also serve this cold, but the melted cheeses make it.

A great party food favorite. Tastes just like normal sausage rolls - makes you wonder just how much actual meat they have in them :P. Even my 17 year old carnivor of a brother loves these.

Prepare your recipe for kefta meatballs. Let them simmer for at least an hour in this spicy tomato-based sauce.

This version of the garlicky roasted eggplant dip does not have tahini in it as with a traditional version. While I really like an "authentic" baba ghanoush, I also enjoy the commercial Sabra brand, which uses mayo and some spices. It is slightly sweet and has a little kick. This is my rendition.

That was the lunch we made yesterday, and we made a few changes (see the linked recipe below). We used cheddar instead of velveeta cheese, fresh broccoli, and omitted the butter. An easy-one-dish meal and quite tasty.

A sophisticated French American twist on Quesadillas - Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato with some creamy goat cheese... num num.
