Baked Penne with Sausage & Ricotta

Baked Penne with Sausage & Ricotta by Denise Sherin

This bakes up like lasagna or baked ziti. It's simple to make and everyone loves it. It's great for a dinner or potluck. My sister-in-law frequently asks me to bring this to her parties and it's always a big hit!

Penne Alfredo with Italian Sausage and Zucchini

Penne Alfredo with Italian Sausage and Zucchini by Denise Sherin

I had this dish at a local diner and loved it. So I recreated it at home it's an easy tasty dish. It looks like you spent a lot of time making it and it comes together so easily. In this picture I used just zucchini but I have made it with summer squash or a mix of both, whatever I have on hand, and it's great.

Spanakopita Dip

Spanakopita Dip by Denise Sherin

So yummy! Great for parties and get togethers. Original recipe is posted here but I leave out the dill because I am not a big fan of dill. Serve with fresh pita bread, toasted pita chips or your favorite dippers breads, crackers or veggies.

Mediterranean Nachos (Greek Nachos)

Mediterranean Nachos (Greek Nachos) by Denise Sherin

Yummy Greek flavors in nacho form. Instead of sour cream you could use some tzatziki sauce or slice some raw baby spinach leaves. You can also use a flavored feta cheese if you like. To make a heartier dish you can add some shredded chicken or tuna to the tomato mixture.

Sauteed Zucchini in Homemade Tomato Sauce

Sauteed Zucchini in Homemade Tomato Sauce by Denise Sherin

I love homemade tomato sauce, it's so much better than jarred sauce. As a summer side dish I add sauteed zucchini, it's so yummy. I recently served it as a side with baked cod and we wound up putting it right over the fish it was terrific!
