My Thirty-third Lasagna recipe for the new cookbook - Lasagna
1 unit Lasagna
DECEMBER BREAK
Since I celebrate most of the Holidays in December, I took time off to spend days with family. I am free forming the recipes in this book, so it wasn't until a couple of days ago that I realized that I have never added Lasagna to the book. I just assumed it was one of the first recipes I added.
My sister Michele makes a traditional Christmas Eve lasagna for the army of family gathering at her house. She makes both a beef and vegetarian version. I think this year we were up to thirty people sharing joy. I got to take the extras home so that I had some quick fix meals over the rest of the week.
Lasagna is fabulous because it is easy to serve a lot of people quickly. In the spring, in Bedford MA, and the Relay for Life, I asked them to switch from pizza to lasagna for the Cancer Survivor supper, because for most people lasagna is much easier to eat that pizza, and the cost per person is similar.
LASAGNA PUREE
Lasagna need a little more water than you might think, but remember that you can always add more water after it is made. For left over lasagna from the refrigerator, I have started adding hot water from a tea kettle. This allows me to have warm lasagna but not something so hot it burns.
GARLIC BREAD AND OTHER YUMMIES
Adding a chunk of buttery garlic bread, adds a nice pop to the flavor.
A few flakes of fresh spinach add needed nutrition and makes caregivers happy.

I have created a companion page on Facebook called: 100 Meals Pureed - Recipes for Head and Neck Cancer Survivors. Sometimes it is easier to share a FB page than send a blog address.
