Pasta e Fagioli from Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking

An easy and delicious soup. I used lardons for the meat. We were thinking that chicken sausages would be good, saucisse de volaille or merguez de volaille, cut in quarters lenghtwise, then into little... read more >

The Roasted Vegetable

Curried Roasted Squash Soup : page 83

Butternut squash is really not my favorite, but I inherited a sackful this summer, so I'm trying to use them up. Especially in a soup, I don't like the texture and I don't like the sweet taste. That said, this really wasn't a bad soup at all. And it's really simple to make using a staff mixer rather than a blender.

My squash was a bit small, but I used all the ingredients (for flavor) and a lot more of the broth (for a slightly thinner consistency). Unfortunately there's been no cilantro in the stores for a while now (it *is* out of season, of course), so I omitted that; that would have been a nice touch for the final result.

White Lasagna with Roasted Vegetables : page 178

This was a hit, a nice take on a white vegetarian lasagna. Easy enough to do, but lots of wall clock time as lasagnas tend to need.
- Might add some smallish mushrooms to the roasting veg; DH suggested black olives too.
- Didn't pre-cook the noodles.
- The 13"x9" dish was not full; the next smaller casserole might do.
- Serves 6-8.
