3 Styles Lasagna in Trisagna Pan with Alfredo Recipe
In our home Lasagna is a dish seen frequently on the table. My Italian grandma served up many pasta dishes. Over the years I have changed up some of the minor details to suit our own tastes. I even have a few on the blog. For Christmas I received a Trisagna pan from my oldest son. I don’t really like change in my cooking but the pan seemed to fit my needs. We have 2 vegetarians so I make a marinara sauce. We have 2 meat lovers so that sauce is full of different meats I have on hand. And then there is my granddaughter who is a picky eater. The only sauce she will eat is alfredo. I made it once and it didn’t go over to well but everyone ate it. So this pan was perfect for everyone. And Jovie helped me. There was a lot of guessing since this pan was so different. Not only did I need to divide my different sauces among the 3 wells I wasn’t sure what portions I would need. And since the pan was much deeper than normal that made some changes necessary. The one thing I didn’t consider was cook times would be different. The red sauces weren’t absorbed as much making them runny. And the alfredo sauce was from a jar and meant to top pasta, not hold it together. That was even soupier than the others. Jovie decided not to eat it and instead ate a whole package of mixed veggies. The rest of us ate with a spoon. At least now I have perfected the recipes. As we all shared our thoughts poor Jovie could barely hold back her tears. Once we all explained it takes at least a half dozen times to perfect a recipe she cheered up and ate ALL the garlic bread. We decided to use the pan next time making bread. Lesson learned.
Homemade Cream of Broccoli Soup
When I make soup from scratch you can bet it is more than likely to be a cream based soup. I don’t make my own broth but this is still delicious and warm when served to the family. In the winter it is a meal in itself when half a sandwich is added. In the warmer weather I still serve soup but pair it with a fresh salad made with greens and veggies straight from the garden. You will definitely be upping your game when you place this on the table and serve to a hungry family.
ReinDeer Pancakes For your Little Dear
Rudolph the Red Nose Pancakes look just like a reindeer. 4 ingredients are all it takes to make your kiddies smile. Made with your favorite pancake mix just add bacon, blueberries and strawberries to decorate them. You will be hearing “HO HO WHOA” when you bring them to the table. For Fall I tell them they are Big Buck Pancakes. They look like it, don’t they?

Thank you Karren! It was funny. I saw it in a Christmas Catalogue and ordered it. Then my son saw it in a big store and got it. I love this one, the better one, since it is much thicker and sturdier. But mine had the three wells that were removable. I can;t wait to try that one!
