My first 'official' day during this year's summer break was spent watching New Moon (I know, I just now joined the hype around this Twilight Saga), cleaning out my closet, doing lots of yoga to cure my pre-elderly back and, of course, cooking. Jochem and I made vegetarian lasagna from Jochem's cookbook for men. Like most vegetarian lasagnas this dish included creamed spinach. We mixed this with ricotta and gorgonzola. We also made a cheese sauce from Parmesan cheese and we used mozzarella in between the layers as well. Hence the lasagna with four different kinds of cheese (oh my). We also used roasted pine nuts, which was very interesting. So, although the basis of the recipe was not very original, we were quite happy with the end result because of the twists here and there and, let's face it, lasagna is always a great comfort food. We made more than we actually needed so that we won't have to cook tomorrow when the Netherlands is playing Uruguay in the half finals. Here's hoping!
