- Ingredient Info:.
- Italian plum tomatoes, also called Roma tomatoes, are small oval fruits prized for their low moisture and high flavor. These characteristics make them perfect for canning, sauce and toppings; other tomatoes can make pizza and bruschetta soggy.
- Ingredient Substitutions:.
- To boost Italian flavor, use fresh garlic on the chicken breasts; mince 1 or 2 cloves and rub into poultry.
- Another Italian grating cheese can be used in place of the Parmesan; try Asiago or Romano.
