Alloo! (and a recipe for Spinach Lasagna ~ in French)

[Lucinda]

Sorry I have been AWOL for a few days. Have been feeling pretty awful. It's tourist season, and Bill seems to have brought home some sort of bug, so I have been in bed for a few days. Screaming headache (very rare for me) with fatigue and tummy discomfort.

Catching up with the web today I ran across this yummy looking Spinach Lasagna at Marmiton. The website is in French ( translatable via babel fish) but so many things look amazing and it's been making me want to learn the language!

Thank you all for asking about me and for keeping the daily dinner threads going!

Editing to add the linky. They have some wonderful looking food there. I get their feed on my FB page just to drool over the pics and remind me to look for ideas there.

3. I made a pizza with similar flavoring on Sunday.

White crust, white cheese sauce made by thinning down cream cheese with sour cream and adding oregano, basil, and garlic. Then I topped with sauteed mushrooms, tree spinach (a kind of goosefoot, in other words, a weed that I paid $3.95 for a packet of seeds ), pepper rings, scallions, and thinly sliced, very young summer squash. Topped with parmesan, mozz. and some Danish Gouda.

It was really, really good if I do say so myself.

6. tree spinach??

I learn something new every day on DU.

7. Yeah, this stuff:

It's just one of the many, many interchangeable species of Goosefoot weed, IMHO. Other than the fact that the new leaves are magenta colored, and slightly bigger than the wild ones, it all is the same.

Not bad, mind you, but not worth paying $3.50 for a packet of seeds when I'm pulling out its wild cousins by the thousands every year, and the wild cousins taste exactly the same.

10. I like the idea behind your white sauce

I'm not a fan of the heavy alfredo stuff and your sauce sounds good. I often just use a little bit of olive oil and stay sauceless on my greek style pizzas, but I may give your's a try!

12. I use finely chopped onion and mushroom, sauteed with a little olive oil on my pizzas

instead of sauce. It works, and I get extra veggies.

[Lucinda]

13. Yep. Onion and garlic in OO for me...I never miss the sauce when I do it that way

I often make pizza that way with Greek flavors...spinach, feta, black olives etc
