Caramelized Onion Lasagna for Valentines Day

I am trying a new format. Let me know what you think. First I will post the photos and recipe, if applicable, and then the story.

Caramelized Onion Lasagna

For recipe swap day and also Valentines Day I made the caramelized onion lasagna from Eating Well along with a fresh celery salad and some steamed broccoli.  As a review of the recipe, the lasagna was very flavorful, however, since I divided it into two 9x9 pans rather than a 9x13 I wish I caramelized four onions instead of the three the recipe lists.  Also, it states to put the basil and walnuts on top and then bake which did not make sense to me. I wish I went with my gut and left the basil off until afterwards as I had to try and remove it after baking.  It was rather burned.


As far as flavor goes I give it a 8 on a scale of 1 to 10 but when you take into account how labor intensive it is I can't say I will make it again. 

Now the baked Nutella banana dessert wrapped in phyllo that I came up with...I didn't get a photo but that one will definitely be a repeat.  I just couldn't wait the time it took to take the photo.  I would give it a 12 on a scale of 1-10.  To be continued....

different. Gotta try it.

I am newly obsessed with Eating Well. Don't know how I lived so long without it!
