Lasagna
Make a large amount of thin tomato sauce: Sautee onions and garlic til soft, and, since it is winter, add canned tomatoes along with fresh basil and parsley, S & P and a dash of sugar and red chili flakes
Sautee sliced mushrooms and chopped kale til juicy. Season with S & P
Make béchamel: melt equal parts butter/flour, about 2 tablespoons of each, until the thickness of gravy and bubbling. Add cold milk and bring just back to a boil while stirring, until thickened. Add S & P and a grinding of nutmeg
If you are normal, you would remember to buy ricotta and season it with fresh herbs. I made this one without cheese.
Using no pre-cook lasagna noodles (they are thin and yellow), layer sauce, noodles, béchamel, filling, sauce, and layer again. The final layer should be noodles with plenty of sauce
Bake, covered, until soft, about 25 minutes

Blend Balsamic vinegar , dijon mustard, tahini, grated ginger, a shallot, the juice of one lemon and olive oil, keeping the balance approximately 3 parts oil to one part acid
