From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...The birds returned to our hillside this morning and that's a sure sign that winter's nearly done with us. I listened to their song with a bit of melancholy because this is our last season in this house. We sold our home yesterday and made an offer on another that we hope will bring us as much enjoyment as we have known here. It has been a crazy couple of weeks that started with eye surgery and ended with prospective buyers traipsing through the house on days that would make even an ice queen blanch. It was a quick process, but as anyone who has sold a home can tell you, it was not easy. One of the things that I have missed was being able to cook with aromatics, especially onions and garlic. Both were pushed to the side in an attempt to keep the kitchen from smelling like a pizza parlor while the house was being shown. Tonight I extracted my revenge and cooked both with abandon using Ina Garten's wonderful recipe for sausage lasagna. This is one of those recipes that belongs in everyone's rotation. The sausage and goat cheese take this pasta favorite to a whole nother level and I know that your family will enjoy it. The recipe is self-explanatory, and like all of Ina's recipes, it works. This one has the added advantage of being easy to make. Do try it! Here is how her lasagna is made.
