Cooking instruction summary:

Casserole dish (12x9 inches) Preheat Oven to 400 degrees F In a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, add sliced zucchini, and sliced butternut squash. Sprinkle pinch of salt and thyme evenly over vegetables, drizzle with olive oil. Coat vegetables with hands for even coating of oil and seasoning. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes. When done, remove from oven and reduce heat to 350 degrees F. Meanwhile for the sauce, combine water and arrowroot in a small bowl, set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, add coconut spread, when it melts add brown rice flour, whisk until smooth. Lower heat to medium. Add coconut milk, almond milk, all seasonings, whisk until smooth. When you begin to see bubbles form quickly whisk in the arrowroot mixture. Continue to whisk for a minute until mixture has thickened to the consistency of a cream sauce. Set aside. To Cook Lasagna Sheets: In a large 8 quart shallow pot on medium high heat, boil the water, add a few tablespoons of salt, or to taste, then gently put lasagna sheets in, do not push down. As they begin to soften they will drop down into the boiling water. Stir occasionally to separate sheets. Drain, set aside for assembling. Save the prettier pieces for the top layer, as lasagna tends to get stick, pieces may break but it will still be delicious. It may seem like a lot of salt in the water, however, pasta water should taste like the ocean for the pasta to absorb flavor. To assemble the Lasagna: First layer, add a third of the cream sauce to the casserole dish, about 8 sage leaves then 2 layers of lasagna pasta. Second layer, add slices of zucchini to fill pan, 1/4 cup of cheddar style shredded cheese, 5 sage leaves. Third layer, add one row of lasagna pasta, slices of butternut squash, 1/4 cup cheddar style shredded cheese, about 8 sage leaves. Top layer, add remaining cream sauce, 2 layers lasagna pasta, crumble cheddar cheese wedge directly over the top and place 4 sage leaves; if the sage leaves do not lay flat wet the back and it will adhere to the pasta. Place the casserole dish on a baking sheet pan (in case it drips over). Bake for 70 minutes. Let it cool for 10 minutes. Serve hot.

Food Joke

WASHINGTON, DCCalifornia decriminalized the sale of Caesar salad this week -- and it`s not a moment too soon, the Libertarian Party said today."When you outlaw Caesar salad, only outlaws will eat Caesar salad," noted the party`s Director of Communications, Bill Winter. "That`s why, on the issue of Caesar salad, we Libertarians have always been pro-legalization."Selling Caesar salad became a crime last year when California legislators passed a new health law banning the sale of food that used raw eggs as an ingredient. Unexpectedly, the law included Caesar salad, which uses uncooked eggs in its unique dressing.Restaurant owners and fans of the popular salad were outraged. The outcry convinced state legislators to file a new bill to cancel the criminal status of Caesar salad -- and, presumably, end what might have become a flourishing black market in contraband romaine lettuce, raw eggs, and Parmesan cheese.The bill, signed into law by Governor Pete Wilson on Monday, has Libertarians cheering -- but a little surprised."We have to compliment California legislators for their rare display of good sense," acknowledged Winter. "Although we`re a bit surprised that they were courageous enough to toss the Caesar salad law entirely."Libertarians had expected politicians to take a more timid, gradual approach, said Winter, perhaps...* Implementing a five-day waiting period for Caesar salad, so the government could do a medical background check for raw-eggallergies.* Legalizing only "medical Caesar salad" -- whereby people with a vitamin deficiency could get a doctor`s permission to buy a small amount of Caesar salad for their own personal use.* Launching an anti-Caesar salad TV advertising blitz, perhaps with a commercial showing a frying pan, and then showing a frying pan with a raw egg in it. The voice-over could be: "This is your brain. This is your brain on Caesar salad."* Allowing only adults, 21 and over, the right to buy Caesar salad, on the grounds that it may be an adolescent`s gateway-salad to stronger stuff, like macaroni salad or three-bean salad.But Libertarians say they are delighted with the bold, unexpected victory over the "Just Say No to Caesar Salad" lobby -- and argue that it`s a win for libertarianism and the American way of life."We support the Constitutional right of every American to keep and bear a Caesar salad -- or, rather, to eat and buy a Caesar salad," said Winter. "All joking aside, it`s a setback for those political eggheads who think they have the right to micromanage every aspect of our lives -- down to the type of salad we buy in a restaurant. Hopefully, politicians will learn ... TO JUST LETTUCE ALONE."
