Drizzle some Italian dressing over and bake on 350 for 15 minute then turn, drizzle a little more dressing and bake for another 15 minutes. Then hit it with the broiler until the pieces start looking crisp.

Answer 6

You really can't go wrong with ravioli. I don't have the time or skills to make it from scratch but you can find some perfectly fine ravioli in your market's frozen section or in the refrigerated section. Also, look for gnocchi as well. It's like an Italian dumpling and it makes for a nice change. I also recommend tortellini, which helped Gordon Ramsay become a Michelin three-star chef. GOOD LUCK!
