Italian Inspired Dishes

Tomato Parmesan Roasted Potatoes. Another very versatile side dish to go with grilled chicken, pork or even fish. It is a particular favourite side dish on steak night at our house too.

This 20 Minute Super Simple Shrimp Scampi is one of our earliest meals-in-minutes to ever appear on Rock Recipes and we still make it regularly at our house.

Garlic Chicken Puttanesca. One of the quickest, easiest and most flavourful pasta dinners ever. Sure to become a weekday family favourite.

Baked Italian Chicken Cordon Bleu. Chicken Cordon bleu is definitely a French idea but this recipe interprets it with some great Italian flavours in a baked version that helps reduce the fat too.

Baked Parmesan Panko Pork Chops. No need for frying, this oven baked, lower fat pork chop recipe is delicious served with pasta and your favourite simple marinara or puttanesca sauce.

Alfredo Mac and Cheese. The rich creamy flavour of a pasta Alfredo in traditional baked mac and cheese form. Terrific as a side dish or with a simple salad for a complete meal.

Easy Lemon Chicken Piccata is one of our family’s go-to meals to beat the workday time crunch. Served with rice or pasta, it’s an incredibly flavourful meal in  under 30 minutes.

Spanakopita Lasagna. A fusion of Greek and Italian cuisines in a rich, incredibly flavourful lasagna, piled with layers of goat cheese, feta and spinach filling.

Puttanesca Pasta Salad – a simple and delicious pasta salad with the bright tomato flavour of a puttanesca sauce that can be served hot or cold.

Low Fat Baked Panko Chicken Parmesan with roasted tomato jam. A fantastically flavourful, lower fat, baked version of Chicken Parmesan with the crunch of panko crumbs and the intense flavour of Roasted Tomato Jam.
