Before the TCL competition started I was really perplexed about Wednesday’s competition-International dish featuring items from Cub’s international aisle. I had a bunch of recipes in mind but nothing seemed right. So I went to Cub to brainstorm-yeah I’m weird. Anyway, I thought of an idea to combine what’s great from Thai dishes and make it into a lasagna. At this point in the competition I was beat. I hardly slept the night before (from worrying and taking care of Stella)and wasn’t sure what would happen. I made it, and people keep requesting this recipe. It’s a great combination of Pad Thai and Lasagna. As John Michael Lerma suggested, try it with a great white wine! Yum!
