My mother used to call that Pasta Fazool. Have you tried Pasta and chickpea soup? Basically the same except with chickpeas instead of kidney beans.Pasta and bean soup, classic comfort food for me. Anyone have a favorite recipe I should try?
Fresh basil leaves taste much better than dried.
You can pretty much add or take away whatever you want. Sometimes I like to put in fresh mushrooms too. Some people I know add bell pepper.but I don't because I hate cooked bell pepper. I just kept it simple for you.
Here is a recipe I discovered recently. At first I wasn't sure about it, but then I tried it and it turned out really tasty. It's called Chicken Rollatini Stuffed with zucchini and mozzarella.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
4 garlic cloves chopped
1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella
8 thin chicken cutlets
1/2 cup Italian seasoned whole wheat bread crumbs
Juice of 1 lemon
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Lightly spray a baking dish with oil.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of the oil and the garlic. Cook stirring until golden about 1 minute. Add the zucchini, 1/4 cup of the Romano, 1/8 teaspoon of the salt, and black pepper to taste. Cook, stirring until the zucchini is tender 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Add the mozzarella and mix well.
Wash and dry the chicken and arrange on a cutting board. Spread each cutlet with 3 tablespoons zucchini-cheese mixture. Roll up and set aside seam side down.
In a small bowl combine the bread crumbs and remaining 2 tablespoons Romano. In a separate bowl combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil,, the lemon juice, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper. Dip the rolled chicken in the lemon mixture, then into the bread crumbs, rolling to coat evenly. Place the chicken seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Spray the tops of the chicken with oil. Bake until cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
Origano or Oregano (correct either way) will make it taste like pizza sauce.I think #6 is supposed to be fresh oregano and basil.
Me too!Welcome to CF, I know you'll like it here.
I'm going to try your recipe.
Are you sure you don't meanMy mother used to make something that was pronounced Iya Oya. I think it was spaghetti/broccoli soup with a heavy dose of sauteed garlic. Do any of you recall that?
