Italian Recipe Chatter

My wife and I had been renting apartments for the duration of our marriage until about a year ago when we managed to purchase our own home. The improvement projects and mortgage payments are stressful, of course, but anything beats dealing with incompetent landlords and sky-high rents. Now that we have a place to call our own, we’ve begun hosting dinner parties on a regular basis.

Knowing that our close friend and neighbor Brad and his wife Judith are both vegetarians, we like to shake up the main course on occasion. It’s much easier to prepare a meat-free entrée for everyone instead of a meat dish with vegetarian option. My wife’s vegetable lasagna recipe is a dinnertime staple anyway, but it’s especially useful for when we need to be accommodating toward our guests.
