Skillet Lasagna

This Skillet Lasagna is an easier and faster way to make lasagna than the traditional way all in one skillet. Do not substitute no-boil lasagna noodles for the traditional, curly-edged lasagna noodles here. Use either whole milk or part-skim ricotta here, but do not use fat-free ricotta, which has a very dry texture and bland flavor.

Roasted Cauliflower with Feta, Almonds and Olives

This Roasted Cauliflower with Feta, Almonds and Olives is so easy and delicious. While the cauliflower roasts, you assemble the rest of the ingredients in no time. If almonds aren't available, walnuts or hazelnuts are good substitutions. I actually used blue cheese because I was out of feta. You can serve this dish warm, but it's equally good at room temperature if you want to make it ahead.
