celery always goes bad on me before I can use it up, I use a lot of seasoning salt as a spice on meats and potatoes

I've found that many stovetop risotto recipes can be adapted to make in the oven. For me, this turned risotto from being an occasional weeknight menu item to one that we make much more frequently. I'd say it's about 85-90% as good as stovetop in most instances, and is much tastier than a take-out alternative.

The last one I made I changed up by adding hickory smoked chicken apple sausage, and adjusting herbs and spices to compliment its sweeter flavors.

I make my italian meatballs with 2 cups of green beans that I process with my breadcrumbs in the food processor. My kids don't have to know!

I add pureed zucchini or pureed cauliflower to my meat sauce. It is a great way to sneak in an extra veggie without altering the flavor too much. We also use spaghetti squash every once in a while instead of traditional spaghetti noodles. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!

Five-cheese lasagne with homemade sauce made of fresh tomatoes and herbs is my favorite.

My favorite Italian dish with a twist is Shrimp Alfredo Fettuccine. I add a bit of Cajun seasoning to the shrimp and it's yummy.

The bruchetta at a local Italian restaurant has a twist...SOME spice/herb in there just makes it delectable! I'll have to ask what it is the next time; usually we're too busy fighting over the last piece.

I'm not sure if this is exactly a twist, but it was new for me. I ordered vegetable lasagna for our employee recognition dinner last year. I was expecting a standard style lasagna with red sauce except it had veggies instead of pasta. What I got instead was roasted vegetables layered with tons of ricotta cheese (mixed with some other cheese too I think) and an amazing white sauce of some sort. I'm not really sure what was in the white sauce, but it was the best lasagna (veggie or meat) I have ever had. Oh and the portion size was so big that I couldn't even actually finish it.

I like variations on the non-traditional pizza & toppings, too -- e.g., spinach, Hawaiian, etc. However, I'd also like to try what shellockjohn suggested above -- fig, gorgonzola, and arugula on a thin crust made in a wood burning oven. Sounds tasty!

I love butternut squash ravioli with an herb sauce over the top -- sometimes I just drizzle a little browned butter over the top and throw on some herbs as an afterthought. Yum!

There was this recipe in Redbook for Trisha Yearwood sister's lasagna that uses sour cream and mayonnaise as ingredients. Not gonna lie, it was good!

Olives all'ascolana! A delicious snack from Ascoli Piceno consisting of the regions olives stuffed with seasoned ground meat (usually veal or chicken), breaded and deep fried. Must be tasted to appreciate.

I recently went to a dinner party at which the host served an Acorn Squash Gnocchi with Parmesan Sage Beurre Blanc, and that immediately went to the top of my list of favorite unique Italian dishes -- I think it definitely qualifies as "Italian with a twist." Thanks for the giveaway - the book sounds fantastic!
