Beef Stew – Stufato di Manzo
On a cold, rainy winter day, nothing feels more comforting than a hearty stew packed with meat and vegetables. Today, I made a beef version using leftover beef filet chunks from our beef Wellington, but stewing beef works perfectly too.

Vegetable Purée – Purea di Verdure
I use different versions of vegetable purée in my meatloaf recipes, to thicken soups, in lasagnas or a skillet pasta. The vegetable can be roasted then puréed with broth or cream or can be cooked in vegetable broth then puréed once cooked.

Bacon Potatoes & Brussel Sprouts – Patate e Cavoletti al Bacon

Glazed Carrots – Carote Glassate
These glazed carrots are tender carrots cooked in a buttery, sweet glaze made with sugar or honey. As the glaze cooks, it thickens and coats the carrots, giving them a shiny finish and a rich sweet-savory flavor. They’re a simple side dish that I’m serving with my Veggie Infused Mini Meatloaf.

Cheesy Baked Veggies – Verdure al Formaggio
Whenever we had Thanksgiving dinner in Canada, I would make this as a side dish, and it is loved by all. I didn’t measure the ingredients as I didn’t have a scale but gave rough estimates. You can make as much or as little as you want.
