Healthy Italian Bread Sticks or Pizza Crust

Healthy vegan Italian Bread Sticks or Pizza Crust! I’ve given directions below in how to make this as Italian Bread Sticks, but to turn it into Pizza Crust is quite simple. Simply omit the Italian seasoning, garlic and onion powder from this recipe and roll to fit 2 medium sized pizza pans and TADA you have pizza crust. Freezes well also. From “The Best of Silver Hills Delicious Vegetarian Cuisine” cookbook. — posted by Enjolinfam

Cucumbers With Olives


This recipe is from a cookbook called The Silver Spoon. It was recently translated into English and is supposed to be the most used cookbook in Italy.
I have enjoyed browsing through this book and have already made several recipes. Thought I’d share. — posted by Chef Dudo

Baked Stuffed Polenta (Polenta Al Forno)

This recipe from the *Italian Cookbook 2* of the Australian Womens Weekly cookbook series admittedly requires extra work, but makes up for it w/a company-worthy outcome that is visually stunning as a main-dish when served w/an Italian salad + garlic bread. The polenta is stuffed w/salami, sun-dried tomatoes, black olives & cheese. It has 2 cooking steps, but all the prep is done in advance of the final cooking step in the oven. I have not made this recipe yet, but did simplify the recipe & prep. I am hopeful that someone among you will be open to an adventure & give it a try. Pls see my notes Re pan sizes + a 2nd stuffing option at the end of the prep. (This recipe serves 6 as a main-dish or 8 generously as a side-dish. Time does not include chilling the polenta under refrigeration for several hrs or overnite). *Enjoy* ! — posted by twissis

Tagliatelle With Smoked Salmon


This quick-fix 1-dish meal is from the *Italian Cookbook 2* of the Australian Womens Weekly cookbook series, is definitely company-worthy & showcases 3 of my favorite ingredients - fresh asparagus, smoked salmon & leek. The sauce is rich & the dish follows the Italian tradition of a lrg portion of pasta that is lightly sauced & then served w/an Italian salad + garlic bread. (Time does not include time to cook the asparagus as cooking method is optional). *Enjoy* ! — posted by twissis
