Basil Pan Burgers Dinner

• Basil Pan Burgers (see recipe below)
• Olive and Pepper Antipasto
• Minestrone and Basil
• Fresh Fruit with Toasted Pine Nuts

Italian-flavored Basil Pan Burgers are an innovative twist on plain burgers. Carry the Italian theme through dinner with Olive and Pepper Antipasto, Minestrone and Basil, and Fresh Fruit with Toasted Pine Nuts. Canned minestrone is great to keep on hand for easy dinners -- there are so many things you can add to it to dress it up and make it new every time you serve it.

Serve a platter of a variety of olives and roasted peppers.

Stir chopped basil into hot minestrone soup.

Top diced fresh fruit with toasted pine nuts.
