FOOTBALL SUNDAY COOKING:

MEATBALL NESTS – For my meatballs: in a large bowl combine ground beef and sweet Italian sausage, minced Vidalia onion, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, eggs, milk, breadcrumbs, fresh chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese and bake for 15 minutes at 400 or until golden brown and coat with your favorite sauce or make homemade. Cook angel hair pasta and set aside. In a bowl mix together egg whites, grated parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning and coat the pasta. Put the pasta into a greased cupcake pan and create a little pocket in the center and place your meatball, top with a little sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese and bake for about 15 minutes at 375 or until cheese is melted. Pop out of cupcake pan, add some fresh chopped basil on top and serve, with or without more sauce.

CHICKEN PARM SOUP – In a large pot, cook minced Vidalia onion in butter until soft, add in garlic cook for another minute and then coat with flour, add in chicken broth, and Italian style diced tomatoes, a jar of a garlic/basil tomato sauce (I used Bertolli), salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, chopped basil, chopped parsley, red pepper flakes, grated parmesan cheese, while that is cooking, I chopped up chicken breast in to small bites and dip in an egg wash, and then in Italian breadcrumbs and fry in olive oil. Once they are cooked through add to your soup. Add in Ditalini pasta (don’t add to much as it absorbs the liquid), once pasta is done, spoon into a crock and top with mozzarella cheese and broil until the cheese is golden and bubbly. Add some chopped basil on top and serve!
