Simple Chicken Mayo with Parmesan and Bread Crumbs
This chicken breast recipe with mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and herbs is a true tried-and-tested recipe! I remember seeing an ad on TV about cooking with mayonnaise and decided to give it a shot. I've made it with just the mayonnaise on top and it really locks the moisture into the chicken. The bread crumbs and cheese are a must for me; they complement each other very well.
Italian Frittata
Frittatas are a cinch to make, and you can substitute the ingredients with whatever you have on hand! It's fun to get creative with them! They also make great leftovers!
Spinach and Ricotta Tortellini
Ricotta and spinach are among the most expected vegetarian pairings in Italian cooking. In genuine tortellini di magro, it's also used as a filling for tortellini, the famous ring-shaped stuffed egg pasta from Bologna served in clear beef stock for Christmas or any special occasion. This recipe, with green spinach dough and a vegetarian filling, is a much-appreciated alternative to the basic recipe. Serve it with your favorite sauce. It's great with a simple butter and sage sauce or regular tomato sauce.
