Alison asks for Vegetable Lasagna

At DinnnerSmith, we are "all about" our customers. When a customer asks us to look into something new, we do our best to diligently research and painstakingly
evaluate the potential of each request. So, when Alison wrote to
tell us about a "to die for" no-pasta vegetable lasagna she had
tasted in Livingston, naturally, there was really only one thing
we could do...

Road Trip!

Off we went today to the Livingston Diner (360 E
Northfield Rd; Livingston). This place was really buzzing for a
Tuesday lunch. Fran, Sharon and I were seated at a wonderful
semi-circle booth. The menu is one of those great diner-style
menus featuring traditional Jewish meals. Although we were not
there for those, we will return for them!

We had the pasta-less vegetable lasagna along with their matzo
ball soup. The matzo balls were just the way we like them, light
and fluffy, though the flavor was different than ours. the dish
was also missing our homemade chicken soup. Did you get a chance
to have our versions last spring? Not to worry. They will be
back in the fall for the holidays.

The vegetable lasagna was delicious... thin layers of eggplant,
zucchini, summer squash, with fat layers of chopped broccoli swirled in ricotta. Sharon is sure her version will be more flavorful; and she says, "all-around better" because of our
DinnerSmith special-recipe Italian sauce ['gravy' if you're from
Brooklyn or Newark].

Look for it this fall!

We will be making versions of it throughout the summer: please
ask about it when you drop by.
