Simple Baked Fiori Recipes

SIMPLE BAKED FISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425. Lightly grease or spray a 13" x 9" (or larger) baking dish.
• Rinse fish filets and pat dry. Set them in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
• In a small bowl, combine melted butter, lemon juice, garlic, sugar, pepper, thyme and parsley. Stir well. Pour evenly over fish filets.
• Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs.
• Bake at 425 for about 20 minutes or until filets are opaque and flakey.

BAKED TILAPIA

Steps:

• Place tilapia in an ungreased 13x9-in. baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the butter, lemon juice, garlic powder and salt; pour over the fillets. Sprinkle with capers, oregano and paprika., Bake, uncovered, at 425° until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 10-15 minutes.

SIMPLE BAKED FIORI

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cook the pasta according to the directions on the box. (while it is cooking, go to step 4)
• Drain and set aside.
• Spray a medium sized saucepan with the cooking spray, or if you want you can use a tsp of olive oil.
• Add the minced garlic and cook for a minute or so over medium heat.
• Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking up the meat as it cooks, and drain the liquids. (If you are using a meat substitute, like Boca, you won't have to cook it, just throw it in and add a few tablespoons of water) Keep the pan at medium heat.
• Add the thyme, oregano, rosemary, salt and pepper. Stir to coat the beef, and cook for another minute or so.
• Add the tomatoes and bring the mixture to a boil.
• Then, reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes (or until you are ready to place it into the dish) Spoon a small amount of the mixture into the bottom of a 4- quart casserole dish (this should be barely enough to cover the surface).
• Top with half of the cooked pasta, and then layer half of the tomato mixture over the pasta, then layer half of the cheese.
• Layer the remaining pasta on top, and top the pasta with the remaining sauce (the sauce may be liquidy, so just pour it on) and cheese. I always just use enough cheese to make each layer, so it is probably going to be more than the 1 cup.
• Cover the dish with foil and bake until the cheese is golden and bubbly, about 30 minutes. (During the last couple of minutes I take off the foil.)
• Enjoy!
