Congratulations to Amy! I know you'll like the Bertolli cheese prize pack.
Bertolli's Italian meals are filled with great ingredients you and I would use in our own kitchens. I love finding frozen foods that have ingredients that I can pronounce and the listing is not a long list of things I don't even recognize.
Bertolli's meals can easily be paired with your favorite cheeses as well as wines. Bertolli recently contacted me to do a giveaway of a prize pack that will help you prepare a antipasto di formaggio platter before enjoying one of their frozen meals.
The antipasto di formaggio platter is perfect for enjoying a variety of fine Italian artisan cheeses before you prepare your favorite Bertolli Frozen Meal. From pungent asiago to buttery fontina, Italian cheeses provide an abundance of culinary possibilities and are just as delectable on their own, or simply paired with a lovely glass of wine. Bertolli frozen meals are also made with many delicious Italian cheeses, such as fresh parmesan and versatile ricotta, bringing you true authentic Italian flavor.
The Bertolli Italian Cheese Giveaway Prize Pack includes the following:
- Slate Cheese Board and Chalk Set
- Set of 3 Cheese Tools
- “Cheese & Wine” Pairing Book
- Set of 3 Pronutto Wine Jellies to complement your cheeses
- Tasting Certificate for a free Bertolli frozen meal
Prize Pack retail value is more than $75

We’re huge Bertolli fans! Hmmmm, so many favorites, but ravioli, Jewish style artichokes and wine. Well, wine’s not a food, but it should count! We featured a big round up of Italian dishes. The cacciatore was tops! http://www.duodishes.com/recipe/poultry-pork/its-an-italian-feast/

Arancini. I know most people don’t consider that a meal but even when I was a kid, we’d only get rice balls for special occasions so when I saw the bowl of them on the table, I’d fill my plate and happily eat them as my dinner. I still love them as much!

Favorite recipe is Baked Ziti:
1 pound ziti (can sub penne) pasta
Olive oil
1 pound bulk Italian sausage or ground beef or pork
1 large onion, chopped
3-4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 Tbsp fresh rosemary (or basil), minced
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 large jar of marinara sauce (about 32 ounces) or make your own tomato sauce
1/2 pound of mozzarella cheese, grated
1 heaping cup of ricotta cheese
1 cup grated parmesan or pecorino cheese
1 Bring a large pot of water to a strong boil. Add about a tablespoon of salt for every 2 quarts of water. Add the pasta and boil, uncovered, until the pasta is al dente—edible but still a little firm. Drain the pasta through a colander. Toss with a little olive oil so the pasta does not stick together while you make the sauce.
2 Pour a tablespoon or so of olive oil into a large sauté pan on medium-high to heat. When the oil is hot, add the bulk sausage or ground meat. Do not crowd the pan (work in batches if needed). Break up any large chunks of sausage as it cooks. Brown well. Don’t stir that often or it will be more difficult for the meat to brown. If you are using ground beef or pork instead of sausage, add a little salt.
3 When the meat is mostly browned, add the onions and stir well to combine. Sauté everything until the onions are translucent and beginning to brown, about 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic, rosemary or basil, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes and stir to combine. Cook 1 minute, then add the tomato sauce and stir well. Bring to a simmer.
4 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of a 9×13-inch casserole pan, then dot the surface with half the ricotta cheese. Ladle in some sauce with the pasta, mix it well and add the pasta into the casserole.
5 Pour the rest of the sauce over the pasta, dot the remaining ricotta cheese over the pasta, and sprinkle on top both the mozzarella and the Parmesan cheese. Bake in the oven until the top is nicely browned, about 20 minutes.

My favorite Italian meal is lasagna. I use a large thing of Ricotta, a large mag of mozarella, homemade spaghetti sauce, and italian sausage. Layer it all up and back it at 350 till it bubbles up and smells amazing. I also throw in some standard “Italian seasoning” and a little bit of pepper and oregano. It’s amazing!
Thank you (And Bertolli) for having the contest!
