What Are Some Innovative Tuscany Recipes for the DCB Ideal for Foodie Guests?

[legacypc46]

Here's hoping my fellow cheffers can help:

I'm doing "An Evening in Tuscany" show and am looking for a recipe I can make in the DCB. The guests include ladies who are both well traveled and experienced foodies...so I need something with a good flavor twist.

I normally make the sun-dried tomato pesto brie and the cappucino mousse trifle with this theme, but since this is for a family member, we're making an entree too. I want to showcase the DCB, since it is such a life-saver (mostly working moms are coming).

Thank you in advance. I have limited 'research' time right now and am grateful for the assist. (I'm away from home helping out with a family health matter.)

I like the Grilled Chicken Penne al Fresco.

The Sun Dried Tomatoe and Sausage Risotto, comes together great using the DCB. Just use the lid instead of the parchment paper. I love the Penne pasta recipe also, but wanted to get you an alternative!

Have fun!

I was thinking about the grilled chicken, but wanted something a little more 'foodie.'. The rissoto sounds intriguing....

it's not coming up on a recipe search in consultant's corner...what cookbook is it in? Can someone post it later? (All my PC cookbooks are back in Florida and I'm in Northern VA)

Found it! I was spelling out the word "and" vs "&". Thrilled its from a SB, so its on CC. Thank you!

That sausage and risotto recipe is so good! I love that one and have made it numerous times for my family. Everyone loves it!

thanks amanda, second opinions always help! (I've never made this recipe)

I like the Grilled Chicken Penne al Fresco.

I would definitely do the Grilled Chicken Penne al Fresca.
Season the chicken with Sundried Tomato Herb before grilling, too!

The sausage risotto is wonderful! And really easy!

Thanks again for the responses....love love love this site.

(Carolyn, I saw you post about the Penne w/Sun Dried Tomato seasoning on FB, but I don't have any PC seasonings with me. I'm going to make the risotto this weekend; if it doesn't wow us, you'll be hearing from me!)
