Sicilian Sausage Rolls (Tomasini)
This is my take on Sicilian sausage rolls (tomasini), pizza dough spirals filled with ricotta and Italian sausage. They may not be that authentic, but they are extremely delicious. If you buy some ready-made pizza dough, they are also extremely easy.
Basic Cheese Polenta
Why buy polenta in a box when you can make it from scratch cheaper? A great day-before dish. Once the polenta has been refrigerated serve it in a variety of different ways: sliced and fried--or serve it immediately as a mashed potato or rice substitute!
Mexican Lasagna
My whole family loves this beefy lasagna flavored with taco seasoning. Even my picky five-year-old will eat it. Serve with shredded lettuce, fresh sliced tomatoes, olives and sour cream.
