As promised in an earlier post, here is the Pesto Lasagna recipe. This recipe was given to me by my friend Daniella. Last May during a two week trip to Italy, which started in the Cinque Terre, a friend and I spent the day with a stranger who soon became a friend. Daniella graciously welcomed us into her home and taught us how to make some of the local specialties. We had a wonderful day and left fully stuffed with wonderful food. We had a great time with during our "girls" afternoon in the kitchen, which by the way was a terrace kitchen with a view to die for! If you are considering an Italian vacation and are planning on spending time in Cinque Terre, carve out a day to spend in Monterosso and take a day's worth of cooking lessons with Daniella. You will have a fabulous time. Contact me if you are interested in her cooking class and/or dinner and I will gladly put you in touch.
This post continues my walk down memory lane. Dinner tonight will include Lasagna al Pesto, or Pesto Lasagna. Here is my adaptation of Daniella's recipe.
