What is the easiest way to...

Question

My sis and i are going to make a spaghetti dinner for our parents Friday night.What is the best and easiest way to spruce up the plate and what kind of side dishes could we make??And what kind of drink could they have?

Answer 1

Start off with sliced tomato, mozzarella, fresh basil, and some roasted peppers; if you like. I like olive oil with balsamic vinegar for my dressing.

How impressed will your parents be when you walk in with a platter of Bruschetta. Here is one of my favorite recipe's.

BRUSCHETTA  

1 tbsp salt (or less to taste)

1 tbsp pepper

1 tbsp sugar (optional)

2 tbsp basil (preferably fresh)

1/8 tbsp minced garlic (more if desired)

2 large chopped tomatoes

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

First, remove the juice and seeds from the inside of the tomatoes. It will be juicy enough with the olive oil. Chop the tomatoes, set aside. Mix salt, pepper, sugar, basil, garlic, and extra virgin olive oil. Pour the mixture over the tomatoes.

Toss tomatoes to make sure they are all coated, and let stand in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let the flavors blend.

This is great to go on Italian breads, including garlic bread. It's wonderful with some Parmesan or mozzarella cheese sprinkled on top.

Bruschetta is a great appetizer or side dish to go along with all of your Italian favorites.

Tip: You may want to adjust the amount of salt in your bruschetta according to how salty your bread is.

Answer 4

Speghetti always goes good with garlic bread and salad, make a fancy salad not so fancy for some people but fancy to me. lay a bed of lettuce and rings of onion and bacon bits, shredded cheeze and tomatoe slice also dont forget the croutonns,  give the dressing on the  side, also how about some cottage cheeze on the side  a fruit desert is good it is lighter than a cheeze cake or another cake.
