Roasted Veggi Lasagna

I found another gem of a recipe to make with your fresh garden picks... this is the best veggi lasagna I have ever had, I will definitely be making it again.  I didn't take a picture of it, but here is the link.
Roasted Vegetable Lasagna
I made a few changes d/t what I had in my kitchen: I only had the noodles you boil so I boiled them and used them anyway and it turned out fine (my noodles were whole wheat which was also tasty), I used yellow squash instead of egg plant, and I also didn't turn the vegetables over in the middle of roasting, I only had time to roast for 30 minutes, but it turned out just fine.  So There you have it... I hope you all get to try this recipe, I L-O-V-E-D it... the roasting just gives it a great flavor.

Super Easy and Delicious Browned Butter & Mizithra Pasta

We had this at Spaghetti Factory awhile back and Brandon & I both really liked it.  It's so easy and really good - what wouldn't be good with that much butter & cheese?  We found this copy cat recipe on All Recipes but it tastes exactly the same.


1lb spaghetti noodles
1cup butter (I think we did less butter, it really doesn't need that much to still taste good)
3/4 lb Mizithra cheese (we thought this would be hard to find but it was at Winco & Safeway)

Cook noodles al dente...  While noodles are cooking melt butter over medium heat.  Stir the butter constantly until it turns golden caramel brown.  Watch it closely, it feels like you've been stirring forever then all of a sudden you look down and it's caramel and you don't want to burn it.  Let it sit for 4 minutes then put a paper towel over a bowl big enough to hold the butter and pour the butter over the paper towel - you don't want the butter solids.  Grate the cheese on the finest grater you have and mix everything together.   I hope you like it.  Not exactly a 'healthy' meal but totally worth it :)

I think it would be good with some garlic added, maybe some little chunks of bacon (yeah, we're going for health nut over here :)  )  Next time...
