Best Italian main course for dinner party?

Chicken parmigiana?

Or chicken stuffed with mozzarella and pesto and wrapped in prosciutto ham.

Can prep before, then just put in the oven to cook.

Served with greens and rosemary potatoes.

Chicken cacciatore is easy to prep in advance and could be served with the greens and some baby potatoes. It would share a few ingredients wit( your aubergine parmigiana which could be handy.

Pork saltimboca or veal if you can get decent rose veal.

Lasagne!

You're veggie - do you need a meat course.

I decided to do an all veggie Italian dinner party recently. I'm not veggie, but one of my guests was, and I thought it would make a nice change.

I did a couple of different bruschettas to start. Then a chick pea and pasta soup. Then Nigella's aubergine involtini with spinach salad. It was yummy!

(then I stupidly messed up with a non-vegetarian pudding - it had gelatine in it. durrr!)

Pork (rather than veal) saltimbocca with lemon risotto and spinach. It's delicious.

osso buco - can be made the night before and reheated in the oven. Serve with polenta and the greens you planned.

orangeSunset ive had great success with this and her slow cooker method.she even notes how to make ahead.

Yes I’ve used that recipe many times. I use breasts rather than thighs because I prefer them but I know thighs are the recommended cut for this type of dish.
