A classic Italian dish, this simple dinner can be prepared in minutes. The first time I enjoyed this recipe was with my relatives in Italy, who had prepared it with veal. I wanted to try chicken as a substitute and found it to be just as tasty and tender. The flavor is phenomenal!

Using my classic Italian pesto sauce and just two extra ingredients, you can whip up a tasty pasta salad that can be served hot or cold.

Every time I make these brownies people as for more! They are out of this world amazing – a fudgy brownie with a delicate chocolate frosting.
