I love anything with a creamy b\u00e9chamel sauce.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fifteen Spatulas <\/a> gets all the credit for this recipe and if it weren’t for all the hours I spend looking around on the computer I would have never come across this blog. This is a blog that I bookmarked a couple of years ago because I liked her recipes and food pictures.<\/p>\n

No pasta noodles in this lasagna; it’s full of grilled zucchini strips. I upped the garlic (of course) and added some nutmeg to the sauce.<\/p>\n

I have to say it seems like it took me a long time to make this dish but in reality probably not. I had just come in from the store with a car full of groceries and my greens and fresh carrots I had bought at the farmer’s market. I didn’t even get the groceries put away before I started cleaning the carrots, then the beet greens and then I made the saut\u00e9ed beet greens and at the same time started the sauce for this recipe, and trying to grill the zucchini at the same time. Sometimes, I do cause my own problems.<\/p>\n

I would say if you want to try this recipe, start with a clean kitchen, maybe slice and grill the zucchini the day before; I did have my chicken already baked and thawing from when I froze it last month. The recipe seems to be quick to throw together if you have everything done in stages.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I served a salad with this made with my dandelion greens, home grown radishes and anything else I could find in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n

And, if you want to lighten this dish up a little try this — make just one cup of b\u00e9chamel sauce and then add it to a large jar of pasta sauce. It won’t be “white” lasagna, of course, but you will cut out much of the cream sauce. My husband had thirds of the white lasagna so he must have liked it.<\/p>\n

BLAST FROM THE PAST<\/strong>:<\/span> Chicken in Phyllo<\/a> (Kotopita) is one of my all-time favorite recipes I have made over the years. I have been making it well over 20 years and haven’t really changed anything about the recipe. I think it is a very impressive dish to be as easy as it is to throw together. Please give it a try and if you like it, leave a comment.<\/p>\n
