Two Recipes I Made Up

Mediterranean Inspired Lasanga

1 box of no boil pasta (cause who has time to boil?)
1 jar of tomato sauce (your choice)
1 bag of spinach
1 container of feta (save about 1/3 for the top)
1 container of ricotta
3-4 cups of mozzarella
1 cup whole pitted kalamata olives

Use a square or rectangular pan of your choice. Remember that if you make a bigger batch, you may need to alter the amount of ingredients above!

Pour about a cup of sauce in the bottom of the pan. Layer the pasta on top, they can overlap slightly. Mix feta and ricotta in a bowl. Spread on top of pasta and sprinkle mozzarella on top. Then cover the layer in spinach. Half the olives and sprinkle over the spinach. Pour another cup or so of sauce on top. Put another layer of pasta, ricotta-feta, mozzarella, spinach and olives and sauce. Put another layer of pasta, cover with the rest of the sauce. Cover the sauce with the remaining mozzarella and the rest of the feta.

Pre-heat the oven to about 400. Stick it in and bake it until it's smelling delicious and is all melty and good.

EAT.

Orange Dessert

I dreamt up a recipe last night. Literally. I haven't made it, so it might taste like throw up, but here it is:

(makes four servings I think)

2 large oranges
1 tbls cinnamon
1 tbls nutmeg
1 tbls sugar
1 tbls of whatever other spices you like.

4 nice scoops of ice cream or sorbet (I would stick to vanilla or plain chocolate, but it's up to you)
orange zest (if you'd like)
orange liqueur (if you want)

Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut oranges in half. Sprinkle each of them with spices and sugar. Place on a baking pan face down. Let them roast. Once they look delicious (as in not burned) remove them and let them cool for a bit.

Scoop out the pulp and clean out the peel until it looks like a little bowl. Put the pulp (but not the weird white rind stuff that separates the sections) in a blender or fruit processor with some orange liqueur and blend until it's a saucy consistency.

Make nice round scoops of the ice cream and put it in the orange "bowl" you've created. You can put some zest on top. Then pour over a bit of the orange sauce mixture you've made. SERVE!

Also, I thought you could perhaps make a puff pastry lid to go on top of the ice cream to create some texture, but that's really up to you.

Thank you for reading. If I ever make this recipe, I will let you know how it tastes.
