Parmesan Meat Patty Casserole Food

VEAL PARMESAN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place cutlets between two pieces of parchment or plastic wrap. Using a kitchen mallet or rolling pin, pound meat to even 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• Place flour, eggs and panko into three wide, shallow bowls. Season meat generously with salt and pepper. Dip a piece in flour, then eggs, then coat with panko. Repeat until all the meat is coated.
• Fill a large skillet with 1/2-inch oil. Place over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, fry cutlets in batches, turning halfway through, until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Spoon a thin layer of sauce over the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle one-third of the Parmesan over sauce. Place half of the cutlets over the Parmesan and top with half the mozzarella pieces. Top with half the remaining sauce, sprinkle with another third of the Parmesan, and repeat layering, ending with a final layer of sauce and Parmesan.
• Transfer pan to oven and bake until cheese is golden and casserole is bubbling, about 40 minutes. Let cool a few minutes before serving.

HAMBURGER PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Lightly spray a large baking dish (3-4Q/L) with non-stick spray.
• Mix the ground beef, fresh breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, basil, oregano, onion, garlic, eggs, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Combine well. Divide into 6 equal portions and shape into patties.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Dredge patties in the regular dry breadcrumbs (I find this step stops a lot of shrinkage).
• Brown patties on both sides then place in the prepared baking dish.
• Pour sauce over the patties. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove foil and spread the shredded cheese over the patties. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes--until cheese is melted.

VEAL PARM WITH SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• For the sauce and pasta: Add the pancetta and a bit of olive oil to a medium pot over low heat. Cook to render the fat, about 10 minutes. Add the onions and season with a large pinch of salt and a small pinch of crushed red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, 1 minute.
• Add the tomatoes, then fill the can halfway with water and add that. Season to taste. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring and tasting occasionally and adjusting the seasoning as needed, until thick, at least 30 minutes. (If the sauce reduces too much, add additional water.)
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
• For the veal: Line 2 baking sheets with wire racks and set aside. Beat the eggs in a shallow dish with a splash of water. Add the panko and Parmesan to another shallow dish. Add the flour to a third shallow dish. Heavily sprinkle the veal with salt. Dredge the veal pieces in the flour and shake off excess. Dip in the egg mixture, then coat both sides with breadcrumbs. Place on one of the rack-lined baking sheets.
• Preheat the broiler with the rack on the highest setting.
• Fill a medium pan with olive oil about 1/4-inch deep and heat over medium-high. Brown 1 piece of veal until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Blot on a paper towel to remove the excess oil and place on the clean cooling rack. Repeat with the second piece of veal.
• Evenly coat each veal piece with a few spoonfuls of sauce, a sprinkle of Parmesan and an even layer of mozzarella. Broil until the cheese has browned, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Discard the oil in the veal pan and wipe clean with a paper towel. Add the pasta and the remaining sauce to the pan; toss to combine. Sprinkle with Parmesan and drizzle with olive oil. Toss again to fully coat the pasta.
• Twirl half the pasta on a plate using tongs, then top with some sauce and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Place the veal next to the pasta and garnish with the basil. Serve with a small ramekin of extra sauce topped with a sprinkle of Parmesan. Repeat to make one more serving.

PARMESAN CHICKEN PATTIES

Steps:

• Place chicken patties in a microwave-safe 11x7-in. dish. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 4 minutes. Top with spaghetti sauce and cheeses. Cover and cook 4-5 minutes longer or until heated through. Serve with spaghetti.

MEATBALL PARMESAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Place meatballs in a greased baking pan. Pour sauce evenly over the top. Bake, covered at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
• Uncover and top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Sprinkle evenly with Italian seasoning. Bake uncovered, 15 minutes longer or until cheese is melted, bubbly, and just beginning to brown a bit.
• Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
• Serve as is, spooned over noodles or warm garlic bread slices, or as a filling in sub rolls.

CHICKEN PARMESAN PASTA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the rotini, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the flour, egg, and bread crumbs in 3 separate bowls. Mix the garlic powder into the bread crumbs. Working in batches, coat the chicken breast in the flour, then dip them in the egg, and finally coat with the bread crumbs. Carefully fry the coated chicken in the hot oil in small batches until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain the fried chicken over paper towels.
• Combine cooked pasta, fried chicken, 1/2 package of mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese in a large bowl. Stir in the marinara sauce. Pour the red wine into the empty marinara sauce jar; cover and shake the jar, and empty the contents into the bowl of pasta. Stir to combine. Spread pasta mixture in a large casserole dish, and cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 package of mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven, and continue baking until the cheese has melted, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot.
