"In 1962, the World's Fair was held in Seattle. A pasta was produced to be sold in grocery stores by the name "Space Noodles" after the new Seattle Space Needle. I took the recipe off the bag of pasta and tweaked it a bit to make a tasty lasagna. To this day it is still my brother's favorite lasagna."

Love at first bite! This was easy enough to prepare on a worknight and assembly was so easy when following the well-written directions, I made this just as stated, but used low-fat cheeses and whole wheat noodles. Also, I only had shredded mozzarella rather than slices, but that made no difference in the taste or texture. I had to force myself to put the extra in the fridge because I kept nibbling at it. Excellent! Thanks Tisherself for sharing this winner.

My husband and I are retired and we live in Pine Mountain Club, CA. Our elevation here is 5,520 feet, so I have to make some adjustments to certain recipes. I enjoy cooking, especially in the winter. Maybe that is why "Cold Weather Cooking" by Sarah Leah Chase is my favorite cookbook. Her recipes are "real" and always turn out just right. I also like to quilt, and used to work part time in a quilt shop. I belong to a group of quilters that gets together once a month for a day of quilting and eating a potluck lunch, which is always delicious.
