Winter Lunches

Butternut and navy bean lasagna - I made this with canned pumpkin and beans, and ricotta instead of the cottage cheese. Delicious. Next time I'll make sure to spread the ricotta out a little thinner though. It's very dense and filling, so freeze half of it immediately or you'll end up wasting it.

Mushroom and fennel bread pudding - This one turned out pretty good but it needs some tweaking. The custard is pretty bland on its own; next time I'll mix the S&P into the custard rather then just sprinkling it over the top. I'd also try a more potent cheese next time since I couldn't really taste the pecorino at all. I did sprinkle the top with parmesan just before baking, which gave it a nice flavorful crispy crust.
