Lasagna with Grape Tomatoes and Broccoli Rabe

Extra-lean ground beef (which sometimes cooks up dry) works well here because it's combined with marinara to keep it moist.

You also can sub fresh basil leaves for the parsley sprinkled on at the end.

Semolina Lasagna with Spicy Amatriciana
Named for the town from which it hails (Amatrice in central Italy), this sauce typically combines pancetta with tomatoes. Imported San Marzano tomatoes were used to test this recipe. Use cured bacon to allow the tomatoes and heat to star, or add a smoky note with smoked bacon. It's best to cook pasta sheets one at a time. Then build the individual lasagna portions, and bake them all together. Don't worry if the pasta tears as you build each dish—just patch it together and continue assembling.
