This beef bolognese recipe is the best ever! We start with the best beef for bolognese, grass-fed ground beef, and add to that traditional bolognese ingredients, including fresh basil, crushed tomatoes, carrots, garlic and cheese. Serve this sauce over a rigid pasta, like penne or rigatoni.

A quick and easy dinner idea that incorporates fresh-from-the-garden tomatoes and basil! In this twist on classic bruschetta, a tomato, garlic and basil relish is used to top baked chicken tenders. Top with Parmesan cheese and serve alongside a salad.

Filet tips are cut from the ends of the tenderloin, so they offer all the tenderness and flavor of filet mignon but without the hefty price tag. This simple and quick preparation will please both meat lovers and pasta afficionados.

Who doesn’t love bruschetta? This chicken recipe is a great option if you are looking for a “lite” meal and can be made low carb/keto and low calorie by omitting the bread crumbs and cooking in olive oil. This meal can go from fridge to table in as little as 20 minutes and is a great option for the whole family - even your picky eaters as you can easily skip the bruschetta. For a more filling meal, add chicken on top of hot pasta that has been coated in olive oil and fresh garlic. If you don’t have tomato bruschetta on hand, you can easily make your own by combining a can of diced tomatoes with juices, olive oil, chopped garlic and fresh Italian herbs.

A refreshing dish to enjoy during the hottest days of the summer, this tomato and bread salad recipe calls for juicy vine-ripe tomatoes and a fresh loaf of artisan bread.

This zesty fresh-from-the-garden dish is the perfect main course to serve at an end-of-summer dinner party. To save time, use store-bought pesto sauce. And serve with a fresh garden salad, couscous and your favorite dry white wine.
