ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE

A light summer lasagna, if your tough enough to crank up that oven.

The Love...

Shataki Mushrooms
1/4 of a Glass of Red Wine that was left from the night before

Because the Shataki's have deep love for some red wine, give them a room in a medium sized glass bowl and christen them with some pinches of salt. Make them dizzy with a fork and then let them rest.

The Lasagna...

Lasagna Noodles
Garden Style Red Sauce
Fresh Shredded Romano
THE LOVE

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large sauce pan on high, start with the garden sauce (it came from a jar, sorry) and add the drunken lovers. Let simmer. After about 15 minutes you can turn off the heat and start assembling your lasagna. In a rectangle glass dish, start with the sauce, then Romano, topped with noodles and repeat. Bake in the oven until noodles are soft and cheese is golden brown.

Of course, traditionally if you eat lasagna there surly is ricotta sandwiched in there but I didn't have any and this. So, who says we have to have any? But, take note: It is hot here, this heat is already slowing us down and if you are going to cook lasagna in a kitchen that already feels like an oven, well you just might want to skip the extra cheese and meat. Save it for the wintertime.

  1. WOW! Seriously everything you post makes me ravenous! Even the husband is like "we gotta get on this stuff!" I'm going to start venturing into some of these recipes when it cools down. I get antsy in the kitchen when it's so hot out.
