Last weekend amidst the dreaded hangover I made a big pan of Ina Garten’s Turkey Sausage Lasagna. I always have high hopes for lasagna but I still haven’t found a recipe that is quite right. I have made several of her recipes before with great results but this one kind of fell flat. It was far too rich for my tastes. Next time I would cut the tomato paste down to a mere tablespoon or so (from a whole can) and go a little easier on the ricotta. That said, it still made some great lunches at work this week too.
It has been really busy at work this week so the only thing I have done in the kitchen is melt cheese on bread, a shame truly because I have had some great recipe suggestions I am just itching to try. I will get to them I promise.

I too find her lasagnas too rich, but if you are in the mood for a buttery and very different type of lasagna, I would recommend her vegetarian mushroom (French-style) lasagna recipe. You can only have a small piece before you are filled up, but it’s very satisfying on a cold night!:)
