Beyond Lasagna

Lasagna is a dish everyone loves. It's easy to make and satisfying to eat. But there's more to baked pasta dishes than lasagna. John bakes Sausage and Broccoli Rabe, in a rich tomato sauce with pasta shells and melted mozzarella. Today's "Have You Tried" ingredient is Fennel. Anna shows how this Mediterranean plant is served as both an herb and a vegetable. It's so easy to use and great either raw or cooked. Plus it's got a unique flavor that complements lots of dishes. Sarah captures the flavors of the Mediterranean by baking Chicken and Orzo Pasta with feta cheese and lemon. And on the side, Fennel Salad with Parsley, Parmesan and Lemon. Lucinda layers thinly-sliced potatoes and rigatoni pasta with tomatoes, oregano and cheese for our Tomato, Pasta, and Potato Bake. While that cooks, Lucinda prepares Romaine Hearts with Goat Cheese Dressing. Lasagna-lovers, get ready to meet your new favorite baked pasta dishes, right here on Everyday Food.
