I can provide you with a general overview of how you might make a pinwheel lasagna and a classic Caesar salad.
Please note that the exact recipes and techniques used by Don Angie may differ from what I describe here. To enjoy their authentic dishes, I recommend visiting the restaurant or checking their official website for any published recipes.
- Pinwheel Lasagna: Pinwheel lasagna is a creative twist on traditional lasagna, where the pasta sheets are rolled with various fillings. Here's a general guideline on how you could make it:
Ingredients:
- Lasagna pasta sheets (fresh or cooked)
- Ricotta cheese
- Spinach or other greens (e.g., kale, Swiss chard), blanched and drained
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Tomato sauce or marinara sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: cooked ground meat (e.g., beef, sausage) or sautéed mushrooms for additional layers
Instructions:
Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the lasagna pasta package.
Lay out the lasagna pasta sheets and spread a layer of ricotta cheese evenly over each sheet.
Add a layer of blanched spinach or greens on top of the ricotta.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella over the greens.
Optionally, add a layer of cooked ground meat or sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor.
Carefully roll up each pasta sheet into a tight pinwheel shape.
In a baking dish, spread a layer of tomato or marinara sauce.
Place the pinwheel lasagna rolls in the baking dish, side by side.
Pour more sauce over the pinwheels and sprinkle extra mozzarella and Parmesan on top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the foil and bake for a few more minutes to achieve a golden crust on top.
Let the pinwheel lasagna rest for a few minutes before serving.
Caesar Salad: The classic Caesar salad is a combination of crisp romaine lettuce, croutons, Parmesan cheese, and a tangy Caesar dressing.
Ingredients:
- Romaine lettuce, washed and chopped
- Croutons (store-bought or homemade)
- Grated or shaved Parmesan cheese
- Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- Optional: anchovy fillets, cherry tomatoes, black olives, boiled eggs
Instructions:
- In a large salad bowl, add the chopped romaine lettuce.
- Add the croutons to the lettuce. You can use store-bought croutons or make your own by toasting bread cubes with olive oil and seasoning.
- Toss the lettuce and croutons with Caesar dressing until evenly coated. Start with a small amount of dressing and add more to your taste.
- Optionally, you can add some grated or shaved Parmesan cheese to the salad. You can also add other ingredients like anchovy fillets, cherry tomatoes, black olives, or boiled eggs if you prefer.
- Mix everything together until well combined.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Caesar salad!
