Tips from Ellen and Elisa:
You can purchase Italian herb seasoning or make you own by combining 1 Tbs each of dried oregano, basil, & parsley, with 1.5 tsps of dried rosemary & thyme, plus 1 tsp garlic powder. Shake well and store in a clear jar with a tight lid.
Try this main course along with Italian Parmesan Broccoli and Roasted Potato Wedges for a delicious family dinner. Pack up leftovers for lunch!
