Chicken & Mushroom Tetrazzini

This classic American dish, originally named after Italian opera star Luisa Tetrazzini, can be prepared with a wide variety of ingredients. Our variation features shredded chicken breast, draped in creamy roasted chicken gravy, and served over al dente red lentil fusilli pasta. A side of oven-roasted green beans tossed in garlic oil balances out the richness of the main course.

No get-together is complete without dessert, and this cheesecake is the perfect ending to any meal. The filling combines whipped cream cheese, sour cream, coconut sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, eggs, and a cherry puree, which is poured into a chocolate crust made with almond flour. It’s topped with even more tart cherries and cocoa nibs and then baked until creamy and luscious.
