  I made this as a side dish on Christmas Eve and really liked it. I swapped out the feta for smoked gouda but still sprinkled feta on it after it baked. So the cheese is pretty versatile, and blue cheese would be really good as well. I give this an 8 and got it from styleatacertainage.com.  1 Bundle Fresh Asparagus Spears (about 30 spears) ½  of an 8-oz. Package Block Feta, plus more for crumbled garnish 1 ½ packages of Prosciutto di Parma (10 slices) I used 1 package and just cut the slices in half Olive Oil ¼ cup Raw Pistachio Nut Meats, chopped fine ½ tsp. Dried Thyme ½ tsp. Crushed Red Pepper Flakes I didn't add this Balsamic Glaze https://www.styleatacertainage.com/kellys-kitchen/prosciutto-wrapped-asparagus/

I like this b/c I can food prep it easily. I make the meatballs in batches each 6 months, and they are essentially just 1/3 each of ground beef, ground turkey, and hot sausage. One bag is probably 1 pound of meat. My kids thought this needed more noodles, but I was just glad to have a warm meal, so I guess expectations change as you get older, haha. Sauté the following:  1 onion 1 small package of mushrooms Add: 6 cups chicken broth 2 T. tomato paste 1 jar. Trader Joe's vodka sauce 14 oz. crushed tomatoes 1 dozen meatballs, chopped into small bits 1 T. garlic powder 3/4 tsp. crushed red pepper 1 T. dry basil 1 t. salt 1 t. dry parsley 1 t. dry oregano 10 lasagna noodles, broken into 4 pieces When the noodles are almost done, add: 4 cups spinach Boil until soft, about 20 minutes, then garnish with cottage cheese and mozzarella cheese

  This is a keeper. I really loved the flavor combo, and the honey mellowed out the sharpness of the feta. It gets an 8.5 and came from halfbakedharvest.com.

  I've always wanted to make Irish soda bread, and finally made it with Irish beef stew for St. Patrick's Day. Yes, I'm behind on my posting. Sad times. Anyway, this was fine. It basically tasted like a big biscuit, which is fine, but I prefer angel biscuits if I"m going to have a biscuit.
