Soba Noodles with Asparagus, Parmesan, Bacon & Egg by John Spottiswood

Chicken Ragu w Rigatoni by jason kim

Three Way Lasagna by Carolinaheartstrings

A while back I got this nifty lasagna pan and somehow with all the cooking posts I’ve been preparing I just never did get around to using it. It even came with an equally nifty server. So since my share of Carolina HeartStrings’ recipes this month is Italian, I couldn’t wait to put this to use. But how boring to make the same…
