Total time: 25 min • Prep: 15 min • Cook: 10 min • Serves: 4 • Difficulty: Easy
Dinner doesn’t always have to be a traditional plate made up of a main dish and two sides. In fact, some of the best dinners allow for more grazing and nibbling, enjoying more fresh bites than you might with a typical meal. This family-friendly board requires almost no cooking (just some heating and optional toasting) and offers you a creamy pesto-based dip to slather on the sausage “hoagies” and/or enjoy with the veggies.
