Maine Lobster Lasagna
I made up this lobster lasagna recipe because my hubby wanted to try a lasagna made with lobster meat. I layer tender chunks of steamed Maine lobster with pasta, jarred or homemade Alfredo sauce, fresh spinach, and three types of cheese: ricotta, Cheddar, and Parmesan. Serve with a tossed garden salad and oven-toasted garlic bread.
Filipino Spaghetti
The difference between Italian spaghetti and Filipino spaghetti is the addition of banana ketchup, which makes this a rather sweet dish. Oh, and I almost forgot the hot dogs!
Quick Eggplant Parmesan
This quick eggplant recipe goes well with steamed green beans and French or Italian bread. Although it calls for seasoned bread crumbs, you can use regular ones. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your taste.
