#262 The Case of Lasagna

The most important thing about making Lasagna is to NOT use ready-to-bake noodles. They will never, never, never, ever turn scrumptiously fork tender.
 
Please note that this recipe is still a fast, easy version of Lasagna. If you're super full of love and energy, sub in homemade Anne's Favourite Spaghetti with Neat Sauce for the first 2 ingredients.
 
1 340g pack plant-based ground
24-oz jar of your favourite purchased pasta sauce
20 (about 1/3 pack) lasagna noodles, cooked until al dente, as usual, but with a tablespoon of olive oil added to the water to prevent sticking
vegan Parmesan to grate on top
 
Preheat oven to 375ºF.
 
Sauté the plant-based ground over medium heat, stirring frequently to avoid burning, for 4 min.
 
Stir in the pasta sauce.
 
Spread some of the sauce over the bottom of 2 loaf pans. Lay down the first noodle, followed by a layer of sauce then another noodle... Repeat using all of the noodles and finishing with a last, generous portion of sauce.
 
Cover the pans with foil and bake for 1 hour.
 
Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 min. to let the Lasagna reabsorb any liquid that has bubbled to the top.
 
Slice and serve, grating on plenty of Parmesan.
 
Serves 4.

#110 The Case of Poutine

" P outine is a typical Canadian dish (originally from Quebec ), made with French fries , topped with brown gravy and curd cheese ."— Wikipedia N utritionists worldwide may be screaming in horror that poutine has captured the world by storm but, proud Canadian that I am, I'm shouting, "Yippee!" To be sure, vegetarians are reputed to eat more along the lines of tofu, broccoli and brown rice but an occasional poutine won't kill us. In fact, fast-food poutine makes quite a comforting indulgence! Did you know that poutine gravy, which is generally made from a mix, is vegetarian? Valerie of McCormick Canada Inc. confirmed to me by phone that Club House Brown Gravy Mix contains no meat products. Silly to write out a recipe. All you do is sprinkle French fries with cheese curds then pour brown gravy over top. For a vegan version, crumble vegan feta on French fries then pour vegan brown gravy over top (Bisto Instant Gravy...
