-FAMILY FUN: Italian Night |
|
ITALIAN NIGHT Mangia! (pronounced MON-ja). That's Italian for "Eat!" and that's what your family will love to do when you make an Italian meal together. Pasta is always popular in Italy but there are plenty of other options to try. Raise your glasses and toast each other with "salute" (pronounced sa-LOOT-eh) tonight. Cheesy Italian Ravioli Shake Salad 1/2 cup creamy Italian salad dressing 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or pizza blend cheese 1/2 cup shredded carrots 4 cups torn lettuce or salad greens Sesame Seed Fingers 3 tablespoons butter 6 slices whole wheat bread 1 tablespoon sesame seeds or poppy seeds Brownie Pizza 1 package fudge brownie mix 1 can ready-to-spread frosting Candy sprinkles Organize your recipes and simplify meal planning...Download the Cook'n Recipe Organizer for FREE!
For Cheesy Italian Ravioli Click the Edit tab and select the Cheesy Italian Ravioli ingredient to open the recipe. For Shake Salad In a large resealable plastic food-storage bag, layer 1/2 cup creamy Italian dressing, 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese or pizza blend cheese, 1/2 cup shredded carrots and 4 cups torn salad greens. Seal bag, and shake to toss salad. For Sesame Seed Fingers Set oven control to broil. Spread 3 tablespoons butter over 6 slices whole wheat bread; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sesame seed or poppy seed. Cut each slice crosswise into 4 strips; place strips in broiler pan. Broil with tops 4 inches from heat 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until edges of bread are brown. For Brownie Pizza Heat oven to 350°. Grease 12-inch pizza pan. Make 1 package (19.8 ounces) fudge brownie mix, using amounts of water, oil and eggs called for on package. Spread batter in pan. Bake 23 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out clean or almost clean. Let cool 1 to 2 hours. Frost with frosting, and decorate with candy sprinkles or other colored candies. Cut in wedges. MORE ITALIAN IDEAS Ready for a change from ravioli?
