Classic Lasagna Bolognese
As a chef, Chris really loves making lasagnas. He says, “They truly are an expression of love”, and this one is will make meat lovers rejoice. He makes his bolognese in the classic style by slow cooking beef, sausage, and ground pork along with onion, carrots, celery, garlic, tomato, white wine and stock. Once simmered to perfections, the bolognese is layered up with fresh pasta, house-made roasted tomato sauce, béchamel, ricotta and fresh basil to complete this masterpiece of chef love. This meal does well in both the microwave or the oven, just depends on if you prefer the cheese on top more on the crispy side. A tip from Chef Chris: if you go the oven-route, microwaving it for two minutes first cuts down baking time significantly.

Roasted Eggplant Parmesan
Chef Chris wanted to come up with a healthier alternative to the deep-fried eggplant you typically see on Italian menus, but without sacrificing any of the flavor. He decided on simply roasted thin slices of seasoned eggplant, layered Napoleon-style with hand-sliced fresh mozzarella, and served with fresh roasted tomato sauce. Garlicky broccolini and roasted peppers round out this filling and delicious meal, which also turned out to be low-carb and gluten-free in the process!
