i made this recipe but with a few changes. i basically eyeballed the amounts, less onion, added garlic, added oregano, less oil, cottage cheese instead of ricotta, etc.

it’s a really easy recipe to play with, super delicious, and near impossible to mess up.

I bought the lasagne, which she put in a plastic takeaway container, then a paper bag, then a plastic bag.

When she hands it to me I haven’t noticed her giving me a fork, so I go to ask her then empty the contents of my wallet (the coin purse bit at least) onto the floor.

After picking them up I ask about the fork and she looks puzzled and says ‘do you want it heated up?’ and I realise it is stone cold – possibly frozen, I had just assumed they were hot.

So she takes it out of the plastic bag and paper bag, heats it in the microwave for quite some time (making me think it was frozen), then puts it in a new paper bag, then a new plastic bag (Too bad about the environment!).

I then eat it, it is a tad unevenly heated (but not too bad) and a tad sodden, but I can tell that if it was cooked fresh it would be really really nice, it has asparagus and corn and real ripe tomatoes, really nice cheese, good pasta etc (they are a specialty deli so must have good ingredients).
