VEGETABLE LASAGNA WITH ALFREDO SAUCE -Original Message- From: Janet Acheson via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Thursday, February 18, 2016 7:05 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Janet Acheson Subject: [CnD] Italian meal for Dining in the Dark Greetings, All! My class is hosting our second annual Dining in the Dark at the high school where I teach. I am looking for a few things. 1. Vegetarian lasagna recipe that does not have mushrooms or eggplant. It could be vegan but it must be vegetarian. 2. Dessert recipe for making cannoli without almond extract. 3. Other dessert ideas. 4. Ideas for tactile table decorations. Our first Dining in the Dark was an overwhelming success. However it was insanely hectic as the menu items required a lot of last minute work. I am hoping to lessen that aspect this year and be able to focus more time with the students on prep methods that support future food prep steps. I know sharing here is important but if you wish you may contact me off list. I will post a full menu with recipes used and general information upon the successful completion of the even to be held in mid March.

Re: [CnD] Italian meal for Dining in the Dark: Broccoli Lasagna
Broccoli Lasagna 3 tablespoons light corn-oil spread 1 small onion, chopped 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 teaspoon salt 2 1/4 cups low-fat milk (1%) 2 tablespoons chopped parsley One 15-ounce container part-skim ricotta cheese One 10-ounce package frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and squeezed dry 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese One 8-ounce package shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (2 cups) 9 noodles (about two thirds of an 8-ounce package) no-boil lasagna noodles DIRECTIONS: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare white sauce: In 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, in hot corn-oil spread, cook onion until tender and golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir flour, pepper, nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon salt into onion mixture; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually stir in milk and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce boils and thickens slightly. Boil sauce 1 minute longer. Stir in chopped parsley. 2. In bowl, mix ricotta cheese, broccoli, Parmesan cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. 3. In 11" by 7" glass baking dish, spread 1/4 cup white sauce. Arrange one-third of lasagna noodles over sauce, overlapping to fit and making sure that noodles do not touch sides of baking dish. (No-boil noodles should be completely covered with sauce or filling to ensure proper cooking.) Top with one-third of remaining white sauce. Spoon half of ricotta mixture over sauce. Repeat layering once with lasagna noodles, sauce, and ricotta mixture. Then top with remaining lasagna noodles and remaining white sauce. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese on top. 4. Cover lasagna loosely with foil and bake 40 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Remove lasagna from oven; let stand 10 minutes for easier serving. Yield: 6 servings. - Original Message - From: "Janet Acheson via Cookinginthedark" To: Cc: "Janet Acheson" Sent: Thursday, February 18, 2016 7:04 PM Subject: [CnD] Italian meal for Dining in the Dark Greetings, All!

Hi as far as the spaghetti goes, can't you just use the meat sauce with veggies and omit any meat sugar There is speaking grace. Colossians 4:6 says, “Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.” ~Blessings, Sugar -Original Message- From: Janet Acheson via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Thursday, February 18, 2016 4:05 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Janet Acheson Subject: [CnD] Italian meal for Dining in the Dark Greetings, All!
