What goes with Italian food?
My family is doing Italian for Christmas Eve. It's kinda hard to figure out what to make since there are 3 sisters + SIL + mom, everything is covered! We already have seafood lasagna, dip with cheese & crackers, salad, sausage penne, stuffed shells, and lots of dessert treats so far. What kind of vegetable side dishes do you like w/italian?
Re: What goes with Italian food?
Hmmm... you have a salad-which would be what I recommend...
Maybe green beans? Tomatoes and mozzarella? Asparagus, broccoli?
Mmm...tomatos and buffalo mozzarella. YUM.
Off the top of my head...
I agree with tomato/mozzarella salad
Or how about a twist on that using tomato, artichoke hearts, and olive oil/balsamic drizzle? I can't remember exactly what's in a "salad" like this, but it's very yummy. It might have a bit of Italian-type seasonings on in (basil).
ETA: I've also made the tomato/artichoke salad with onions or black olives. And, forgot to mention, it tastes best when you let it sit to marinate for a bit.
This isn't really a veggie, but DH's mom always makes spinich & cheese stuffed bread. It's delicious and goes well with all of the meals.
Dh's family is Italian and I've never had a veggie dish there. It's awlays salad, spinch/artichoke dip, shrimp rings, breads, and pasta dishes.
Ditto above
One time for a party I did chunks of mozzarella and grape tomatoes on toothpicks with a little drizzle of herbed olive oil. You could also do olives. they were pretty and easy to eat.
You could also do bruschetta on thin slices of italian bread
LOVE THIS! (glad I had lunch already...)
