Tortilla Lasagna

I was inspired by lasagna....

Fry half an onion, 3 cloves of garlic, and start browning one package of veal. Once browned, add your favourite taco or burrito seasoning. 

In your casserole dish, spray some oil, add a layer of fresh corn tortillas, then your veal mixture, sprinkle your veggies (sliced orange pepper, brussel sprout halves, sliced asparagus and Tex Mex cheese) followed by more tortillas. Repeat this process, top with cheese, sliced sun dried tomatoes and pickled jalapenos and a sliced tomato in the middle. 

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.

When done, sprinkle fresh basil and chopped scallions. 

Moolicious! 

Winter is Coming Mac 'n Cheese

So, "Winter is Coming" to quote the Starks. 

I created a Mac 'n Cheese dish that will get you ready. 

Boil two cups of rigatoni until al dente. Allow to cool. Reserve about two cups of pasta water for your cheese sauce. 

For the sauce, heat up some EVOO, add a clove of garlic and half an onion and half of a jalapeño pepper, diced. Saute until soft. Then add one cup of frozen brussel sprouts. 

Next add about two tablespoons of corn starch and let dissolve. 

Add 1/2 cup white wine and about a cup of pasta water. Once you see it thickening, add your cheese to melt: about 1/4 cup nacho cheese dip, a handful grated Parmeggaiano Reggiano, and about one cup Emmental and let melt. 

Add your cooled pasta and stir together, then pour it in your baking dish. If you see it's not as moist as you'd like, add more pasta water. Season with salt and pepper, paprika and bake in a 350 oven for 15 minutes. 

Cheesy Goodness. 

And so Moolicious!
