Ingredients

Tips & Substitutions
For a quicker prep, you can use pre-breaded veal cutlets if available. If you want to add a bit more flavor, consider seasoning the bread crumbs with Italian herbs or garlic powder. You can also substitute the veal with chicken or turkey cutlets for a lighter option. Using homemade spaghetti sauce can elevate the dish, but store-bought works well in a pinch. This dish pairs beautifully with Sausage En Croute.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Hurry Up Veal over a bed of pasta or alongside garlic bread for a hearty meal. A simple green salad with vinaigrette makes a refreshing side. You might also consider pairing it with Lima Beans And Sausage for a comforting combination. Garnish the dish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Allow leftovers to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the veal in a skillet over low heat with a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out, covering it to maintain moisture. You can also microwave it on a low setting, but be careful not to overcook.
