Zucchini Pizza Bianca, Rotini al Sugo di Pomodoro (Fresh Tomato Sauce), and Quick Chicken Parmigiana

August 1, 2010 by susanelester



Basil, Tomatoes, and Oregano fresh  from our garden

Summer in Italy (and Southern California) is a time to delight in the abundance of fresh foods found in the garden and at the market.  We are starting to have a steady crop of tomatoes in our garden, and I was craving this fresh tomato sauce
.

Zucchini Pizza Bianca
This recipe from Giada de Laurentiis  tastes like summer! I used spring onions instead of olives. It would be a great appetizer cut into bite-size pieces.





Rotini al Sugo di Pomodoro (Fresh Tomato Sauce)
Cook 1/2 Pound Rotini according to package directions.
In a medium saucepan, sautee:
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Garlic, minced
2 Mexican Onions, minced (or half a white onion)
When onions soften, add
1 1/2 Pounds Fresh Tomatoes, diced
Continue cooking, stirring until tomatoes cook down, then add:
15 leaves Basil, chiffonade
Salt and Pepper to taste

Stir cooked pasta into sauce, but reserve enough to top the Chicken.

Quick Chicken Parmigiana
Butterfly 2 Skinless Chicken Breasts.
Coat with Progresso Italian Bradcrumbs.
Pan-fry in a large skillet in 3 Tablespoons of Olive Oil for about 8 minutes on each side.
Top with Parmesan Cheese and a couple spoonfuls of reserved Tomato Sauce.
Buon Appetito!
