Italian Main Dish Ideas for Your Second Show

[Jennifer E]

I have my second show on Saturday and they want to do a main dish that is Italian...any thoughts? Since this is just my 2nd show, I don't have tons of products, mostly just the starter kit.

In the new SB there is a delicious recipe for a flatbread made with
basil, tomato, and cheeses (chicken if you'd like). YUM!

I was going to suggest the same thing. Chicken Pesto & Tomato Flatbread. I made it tonight for dinner, and it reminded me of the smells in a really good Italian restaurant. It was delicious and showed over $600 in product. It's a great recipe for beginners because you have all the tools in your kit.

I cooked the chicken in the Deep Covered Baker (mention it if you don't have it) and cut it up in the baker with the Salad Choppers (again, good to mention the possibility). First I cut the fat off the chicken with the Professional Shears. I shredded the provolone cheese with the Rotary Grater and the Parm cheese with the Microplane. I attempted to slice the tomoatoes with the Ultimate Mandoline, but that didnt' work so well. You could slice them nice and thin with the Utility Knife on the cutting board or do one with the UM and slice one with the Utility. I washed the basil in the Salad Spinner which you could mention if you don't actually own the spinner. If you don't have our salt or the grinder, you could again, mention them.

GREAT recipe!

The Pronto Pasta & Sausage Skillet from Weekday Dinners, Done! is delicious, but I've only made it once with a 20-month-old running around, so I don't know how well it would work for a show.

Hi there! Congratulations on your second show! Italian dishes are always a hit, and luckily you can create delicious and authentic meals with just a few products from your starter kit. Here are a few ideas for Italian main dishes:1. Pasta Primavera - You can easily make this dish using the Pasta Pot from your starter kit. Cook your favorite pasta and then use the Veggie Spiralizer to create zucchini noodles. Toss with a homemade or store-bought marinara sauce and top with your choice of veggies and protein, such as mushrooms, bell peppers, and chicken.2. Chicken Parmesan - This classic Italian dish can be made using the Rockcrok Everyday Pan from your starter kit. Simply bread chicken cutlets with a mixture of bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning, and then cook in the pan until golden brown. Top with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese, and finish off in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.3. Eggplant Rollatini - This dish is a great vegetarian option and can be made using the Deluxe Air Fryer from your starter kit. Slice eggplant and cook in the air fryer until tender. Roll up with a mixture of ricotta cheese, spinach, and Italian seasoning, and top with marinara sauce. Cook in the air fryer until heated through.I hope these ideas help! Don't worry about not having a lot of products, you can still make delicious Italian dishes with the ones you have. Good luck with your show!
