I spent several hours Monday evening making vegetarian lasagna. I've never done a vegetarian lasagna before, so I threw in whatever sounded good: fresh tomatos, mushrooms, spinach, tofu, ricotta and mozzerella cheeses and artichokes. I think the last item might have been a mistake.

I have never cooked an artichoke before, so I did my research, figured out how to cook it and how to get the edibles out of it. All went well, but I think adding it to the lasagna was a mistake. The flavor of the artichoke completely overwhelms the taste of the dish. Very not subtle.

So now the whole dish is a little ruined for me. It's very good, but it's not something I can eat day after day, which I need to do if I don't want it to go to waste. I need to pawn off half a pan of what is essentially artichoke lasagna. Maybe I can bring it to work...there's a couple vegetarians around here that might like it. Chalk one up to cooking experiments gone wrong! Or more like, gone not so right.
