It is not often the Chef parts with recipes but this week the brother of one of our former employees (and dear friend) asked for a few of the old Rondos Recipes. Whilst digging through the files I came across this one and let me tell you if you have not tried it - you will soon become a huge fan! This recipe is for a large yield so whittle it down if you are not feeding 10 pp :-)Steve - this ones for you dear - Happy Friday!

OMFG! It's not even my birthday or Christmas... I'm not sure what I did to deserve this, but I'll take it. Thank you sooooooo much! You guys are the best!
Much love,
Teeve!
Mmmmm sounds good! I have been craving lasagna like crazy...unfortunately, this is the wrong time of year with the 7 days per week job...therefore, just no time to prepare. On top of it, one thing LA is sorely lacking is a decent Italian place. [heavy sigh]
