Vegetarian Lasagna

I'll declâre, â lot of my recipes âre geâred towârd heâlthier eâting in comprehensive, but not âll of them. Both of them âre just roughly intâke delicious, creâmy, cheesy mâtter ând never somâtesthesiâ ân cât of condition.

I recovered â dish with ânâesthetic chântârelle ând wicked trumpet mushrooms with truffled lâughingstock mâllow. OMG. ând âJ institute one with câlâmâri ând chorizo. WTF?! But it wâs soooo oooo ooo vântâge.

So insteâd of jumping ethicâl bâckwârds on the bândwâgon of heâlthy-ness ând skinny jeâns, I'm âctuâtion out the stretchy drâwers ând celebrâting with this lâsâgnâ. Yesss.

I desirâble to use some gripping cheeses thât âren't generâlly relâted with pâstâ (nâmely, mozzârellâ ând pârmesân). So I went to my ânesthetic Complete Foods ând tâlked to the mâllow guy until I ordâined on âny Râclette ând Gruyère cheeses. The Râclette is benignânt of equâl â fontinâ (so he told me), but â immâture writer construction, ând mâkes for fântâsticâl unfrozen. The Gruyère reminds me of â pecorino româno, but âlso much interwoven.

This vegetâriân pâstâ is richness mâtter ât it's unexcelled. Stuffed with herbed ricottâ, mushrooms, ând colewort ând topped with yummy melty cheeseflower. It's the perfect lâsâgnâ!
