Gorgonzola & Roasted Vegetable Lasagna
Circa April 2000, Sheri and I went on vacation to the "left coast" to drink lots of wine, eat great food and just enjoy our favorite vacation area, Northern California. While in downtown San Francisco, we went to our favorite restaurant on Columbus Avenue, Rose Pistola is the name. They change their menu everyday! EVERYDAY! One of the items on the menu for that day was a free form lasagna dish which I thought was very cool. I adapted it for my restaurant & people just loved it!
Cheers!
