Well it’s not Monday and it’s not a pretty picture. But it is yummy lasagna. When I saw this recipe on the Bon Appétit website last week I knew I wanted to make for our meatless meal. But Mike’s brother was here to help with their mom’s move and he’s off pasta. So I pushed Meatless Monday back to today and made the lasagna for dinner. This is not a typical recipe I would make during the week because it has a lot steps and prep, but if you made the sauce and pesto a day advance, it would come together much quicker for a weeknight meal. Next time we have this I will only use half the pesto and half the ricotta. It was really rich, yummy but rich. Unless you’re in a real bind, don’t try to save time with store-bought pesto. The parsley and tarragon add a lot to the pesto giving the lasagna a great earthy brightness when paired with the spinach. Add making the pesto only takes about 10 minutes. A great salad with lots of fresh herbs, tomatoes and a quick vinaigrette rounded out the entree.

Love food, cocktails, wine, cheese...in that order. I'm more savory than sweet, but don't be fooled; savory can be treacherous for the waistline. Therefore, I run. Every day is spent living the life I love.photographs
