Cook pasta according to package directions and assemble as described above. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and the sauce is bubbly and hot. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup parmesan cheese and cover with aluminum foil. Top with the remaining 2 pieces of lasagna and cover with the last of the sauce. Arrange a layer of 2 pieces of lasagna on top, then more sauce, then 1/3 of the mushrooms, 2 more more pieces of lasagna, more sauce, 1/3 of the mushrooms, 2 more pieces of lasagna, more sauce and the remaining 1/3 of the mushrooms. To assemble the lasagna: Spread some of the sauce in the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking dish. Season to taste with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Add flour, whisking constantly for 1 minute. To make the white sauce: Melt 1 stick butter in a medium saucepan. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are tender and have released some of their juices. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saute pan. Serves 3.Ģ pounds assorted fresh mushrooms, slicedĬhopped fresh Italian parsley, to garnish Drizzle with pan juices and garnish with fresh rosemary, if desired. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Baste the tops of the chicken thighs with the sauce halfway through. Place the chicken, uncovered, in preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. Pour maple-mustard mixture over the chicken thighs, turning to coat well. In a small mixing bowl, combine dijon mustard, maple syrup and rice wine vinegar. Place chicken thighs in an 8×8-inch foil-lined baking dish. Pour dressing over salad and toss gently to combine. In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, balsamic vinegar, honey and dash of ground cinnamon. Place broccoli florets, raspberries, pistachios and toasted coconut in a salad bowl. I hope you’ll enjoy what may turn out to be some new weeknight favorites. There’s no reason why Tuesday night supper has to be boring. Use a variety of fresh mushrooms for the most flavor. Served as a side dish with this menu, it could easily be prepared as a vegetarian entree as well. The sauce makes the meat tender and prevents the chicken from being dry. Besides being quick to prepare and simple to make, they’re just plain delicious. I still plan to test the recipe with strawberries and cashews. The combination of the flavors of the raspberries, pistachios and toasted coconut is fabulous! The dressing is slightly sweet and tangy.
TUESDAY NIGHT DINNER AT VEZER FREE
Feel free to serve the asada in tacos or, for a more sophisticated presentation, plate the meat elegantly on a carving board, alongside some roasted fingerling potatoes and chimichurri. My broccoli salad recipe had originally consisted of broccoli, strawberries, salted cashews and toasted coconut, but when I couldn’t find any pretty fresh strawberries, I had to resort to Plan B. It comes together in less than 30 minutes, which is perfect for a Tuesday night dinner.
When it’s just Vince and me at the dinner table, I’m inclined to try some new ideas.
What should I cook for supper? Believe it or not, that’s an almost daily question at our house.
