A Valentine’s day lasagne
Feb. 14th, 2010 08:38 pmGM’s got a house full of musicians, so I’ve escaped to southern California to visit my parents for the long weekend. Mom’s been recovering from surgery this week, so I’ve been trying to get the kitchen clean and fill the freezer with food. Not that there was much space in the freezer (heh, at least I now know my tendency to food hoard under stress is come by honestly).
Sauce was just three bottles of Classico, some Big House red wine, and dried herbs (basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, tarragon). Barilla no-boil noodles. From the bottom up: Sauce, noodles, whole milk ricotta, sliced zucchini, chopped garlic, sauce. Noodles, onions & shallots (sautéed in the oil from the pesto bottle), sausage, pesto, cheese, and sauce. Noodles, chopped basil & flat leaf parsley, cheese, lots of sauce, more cheese!. The first lasagne was baked immediately, and was a little plain. I thought the ricotta layer was too dry. Mom and Dad liked it, so I guess that’s all the matters. The second lasagne went into the freezer for later.
