"My Dad, Joe Cerrato Sr., encouraged me in everything that I've ever tried, and he always said to me, 'Son, do one thing and make it the best.' Dad, you would be proud, Garpepano® Italian cheese seasoning is the best! My Dad recently passed away before he could try Garpepano®, so I've added the number 51, which was the number he wore on his jersey when he was a star football player at Calvert Hall College High School, to the logo in honor of him. Dad, I love you. You will always be remembered."
Luigi Cerrato, Inventor of Garpepano®

Recipes

Garpepano Tilapia Filets from Dave Holden, West Virginia

Take Tilapia filets, dust with flour, then dip in egg, and then bread with panko (white bread crumbs). Saute in oil until golden brown. Sprinkle on the Garpepano® and eat as a main course or even make sandwich on a sub roll. I am sure this would work with most whitefish filets. I tried Garpepano® on Tilapia filets and it works great.

Easy Chicken Parmesan from J. Bollack in Hanover, PA

Ingredients:
4 boneless chicken breasts (I cut mine up in strips or use the tenderloins)
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
seasoned bread crumbs
8 slices mozzarella cheese (I use shredded)
1 jar (16 oz.) spaghetti sauce
Parmesan cheese
and of course, Garpepano!

Preparation:
Whisk together the egg and milk. Dip the chicken breasts in milk and egg mixture and then in bread crumbs. In a skillet with a little olive oil over medium-high heat, sprinkle Garpepano on both sides of chicken and brown until golden.

Set chicken in a baking dish. Slice 8 pieces of mozzarella cheese and put two on each chicken breast. Pour 1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce over all. Sprinkle Garpepano on top of spaghetti sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and a little more mozzarella and bake at 350 degrees for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until bubbly.
Serve with spaghetti, garlic bread and a nice green salad.
