Simple and Delicious Perfect Italiano Recipes for the Festive Season

Christmas season causes a frenzy for those who need to prepare a festive feast for their family. It is deemed stressful and time-consuming to cook for the holidays. But not to worry, Perfect Italiano is here to provide guidance and inspire creativity to prepare you for this festive season.

Perfect Italiano is a cooking cheese brand that adds simple Italian flair to everyday family meals. It is simple and easy to use, to prevent homemade meals from being difficult, complex and time-consuming. They help transform your everyday ordinary meals into delicious, Italian-inspired creations.

Perfect Italiano Food Fixes in 15 shares a 5-Course menu from appetizer to dessert, featuring the right Perfect Italiano cheese to match each dish. It offers you the simple solution of providing new ideas and inspiration – just in time for the festive season! Each of the 5 dishes featured on their website comes together with 15-second video recipes to demonstrate just how quick and simple it is to cook with Perfect Italiano cheese.

There is a whole range of Perfect Italiano cheeses: Mozzarella, Parmesan, Pizza Plus, and Perfect Bakes. In this blog post, I have created 2 simple recipes – Tomato Pasta Bake and Turkey Roulade. Using Perfect Italiano Perfect Bakes, Perfect Italiano Mozzarella Cheese and Perfect Italiano Parmesan Cheese, these recipes are so simple and easy for families to enjoy for the Christmas season.

I adapted Perfect Italiano’s Alfredo Pasta Bake recipe and created my own tomato pasta bake! Tomato Pasta Bake is perfect for brunch, especially when you need a quick fix! I love anything with tomato sauce and with the help of Perfect Italiano Perfect Bakes, it makes my meal very delicious. Perfect Italiano Perfect Bakes is a full-flavoured Cheddar blend with a little Mozzarella for stretch and Parmesan for bite. When the Perfect Bakes is sprinkled on the surface and sent into the oven, it does not go oily and bakes a delicious golden brown crust. You can use this to make lasagna too!

Because Christmas is just round the corner, I also made Turkey Roulade with stuffed mushroom, cranberry and spinach using Perfect Italiano Mozzarella Cheese and Perfect Italiano Parmesan Cheese. Following the recipe from Perfect Italiano website, it is very simple to do and you can achieve great tasty results!

Perfect Italiano Mozzarella Cheese is stretchy, really stretchy. It has a mild flavour and melts beautifully with every bite. Also, I have added Perfect Italiano Parmesan Cheese, which guarantees a rich and bold flavour. Not only is Turkey Roulade mouthwatering and tender, it’s easy to make, a breeze to carve, looks super elegant, cooks quickly. You can replace it with chicken meat as well.
