Roasted Broccoli by John SpottiswoodThis roasted broccoli recipe, adapted from the Barefoot Contessa, is really wonderful. It has a lot of flavor. We served it with a mild pasta, and it was just a wonderful combination. Don't be worried by the lemon juice and zest. They impart a subtle flavor that adds a nice dimension to this dish. |

Italian Wedding Soup with Turkey Meatballs by Salad FoodieItalian-American in origin, this soup was really misnamed. “Wedding soup” is a mistranslation of the Italian language for 'minestra maritata', a reference to the fact that greens and meat go well together. (Well that’s a good marriage isn’t it?) I looked at several recipes of this popular soup, selected aspects of a few, added some… |

It’s one of the lowest-fat items on the Olive Garden menu, with 2.5 of fat per serving. Our recipe actually contains more calories than theirs does because we’ve added more beans and veggies.

Oven Baked Chicken Parmesan by myra byankaEasy to prepare, lower calorie version of this dish. For maximum tenderness, I recommend brining the breasts in 2 qts. water and 1/2 C table salt for 1 to 1 1/2 hours and rinsing them in cold water for several minutes. Or, take a kitchen mallet or rolling pin and put the whammy on 'em. |

Baked Ravioli with Meat Sauce by ReeniThis has all the beloved flavors of lasagna but is a lot quicker and easier to make. Using frozen or fresh cheese ravioli is the time saver. And even though the meat sauce needs a bit of time to prepare it's necessary for making this potentially dull dish delectable. And for giving it a bit of home-made flavor. |

Pasta with Cauliflower, Prosciutto, and Parmesan by Nancy MiyasakiOur whole family enjoyed this flavorful pasta that I cooked tonight. Despite the chicken broth, this is a relatively dry pasta, but it is very flavorful. We added the crushed red peppers at the end because some of our kids can't take the heat, but I thought they added an important dimension. If your rushed for time, you can skip… |
