Harvest Lasagna
Nov. 7th, 2006 07:56 pmBy happy accident I've concocted a new and delicious variation of lasagna. This week I made kind of a blah butternut squash and tomato soup. Then I tried cooking a lasagna and rather than make more sauce, I decided to use the rather disappointing soup along with regular lasagna ingredients (Italian sausage, ricotta, some mozarella, a little parmesan.)
The result is delightful. Sweet and rich, while less acidic and heavy. Now I'm thinking of all the squashy possibilities for lasagna, including a vegetarian version with melting chard, and sage leaves fried crisp in butter and crumbled on top.
For best results, I recommend laying easy on the mozzerella and using a lot of ricotta with a little parmesan for bite. A vodka sauce will work in place of my soup, along with a roasted and pureed butternut.
Mmmm.
Now I've got an oatmeal chocolate chip walnut cake cooking while I listen to election results. I wonder who the judge was who didn't allow polls with technical trouble to stay open past 7. We'll have to make sure to vote not to retain him next time around.
