How to make the perfect Biscotti - Ep. 5 Pt. 2

2009-08-02T07:56:21.267Z

Biscotti is an Italian cookie which is twice-baked. It makes a wonderful snack and is a great accompaniment to coffee, tea or wine. It is a light and textured cookie and makes a great alternative to the more sugary cookies available at the local supermarket. With biscotti you can really experiment with the ingredients: you can add chocolate chips, any time of nut, and even dried fruit like cranberries. Here Eva shows us her recipe for biscotti. Weâve tried many different biscotti recipes and found this one to be the best.

Betty's Lazy Lasagna Recipe

2009-08-02T04:10:14.091Z

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a mouth-watering lasagna casserole. It is called lazy Lasagna, because it takes very little effort to make. However, it is *crazy* delicious!!!

4 oz. uncooked pasta (I used campanelle, but you may use any type of pasta.)
1 teaspoon salt
cooking oil spray
1 pound lean ground beef
14 oz. Italian sauce (I used Prego from a jar---traditional flavor.)
8 oz. cream cheese, cut into cubes and softened to room temperature
1 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Place the noodles into a medium to large pot of rapidly boiling water. Add 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, according to package instructions (depending on your chosen type of pasta) and drain through a colander. Spray an 8-inch by 10-inch baking dish with cooking oil spray. Place the drained noodles evenly along the bottom of the baking dish. While your pasta is cooking, brown 1 pound lean ground beef in a deep skillet, stirring constantly, until it is crumbly and no longer pink. Spoon off any excess fat. Stir in Italian sauce, and set aside. Place 8 oz. cubed cream cheese in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add 1 cup cottage cheese, and 1/2 cup sour cream. Use a fork to mash and blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Spread the mixture evenly over pasta. (You may need to place it in spoonfuls, and then gently spread it.) Spoon beef mixture over cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 25 minutes, until casserole is bubbly and the top is beginning to brown. Remove from the oven, and serve with garlic bread and a tomato and lettuce salad. Wonderful!!!

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Lightening Fast Asiago Garlic Bread--a quick and delicious bread you can make in a hurry!

Ingredients:

6 to 8 slices Asiago Cheese Italian bread, sliced in 1-inch slices (I get this bread at the deli section of my grocery store in loaves. You may use regular Italian bread, French bread, etc.)
4 tablespoons softened butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

In a small bowl, use a fork to blend 4 tablespoons of softened butter or margarine with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Spread each slice of bread on top and bottom with butter mixture, and place the slices in a baking pan. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 10 minutes. Turn, after half-way through baking, if you like. Remove from pan, and place on a nice serving dish. This bread is interesting and tasty, and goes with anything from steak to a full Italian meal. No one will ever guess it is so quick and easy to make!!!
