Bubbly, delicious and nary a drop of matzo in sight! This crowd pleasing casserole is a snap to prepare. During the holiday, I want to spend more time with family and less time in the kitchen. This do-ahead dish is filling and can be assembled ahead of time, kept in the refrigerator while you do something else and then popped into the oven to be heated through.

I have modernized the recipe by replacing the mashed potatoes with garlicky parsnip and cauliflower puree. The vegetables make a creamy and delicious puree with the added benefit of having your decadent creamy mash and eating your veggies too.

Ingredients:

Topping:
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pounds cauliflower, cut into florets, stem trimmed and diced
1 pound parsnips, peeled and diced
1 cup chicken stock (homemade or purchased)
Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper

For the filling:
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 carrots, peeled and diced small
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
2 tablespoons potato starch
1 cup mushrooms, saut

Matzo

Matzo
The Seders take care of themselves with family recipes passed down through generations. Once the flurry of activity dies down from the Seders, meals are hard to make and it is hard to duplicate the elegance of the Seder table and to keep excitement up. Passover should inspire memories and I hope these dishes become requested family favorites for years to come.

My husband, Dennis Wasko, who is also a chef, and must have his cake and eat it too, even during Passover, created this recipe. He sprang it on me with no warning and certainly not during the chag. He knows all too well of my dislike for matzo and all dishes matzo related.

I requested another piece and he triumphantly produced the slice and then announced what the cake really was. I ate the cake but first had to take my foot out of my mouth!

Ingredients:

Topping:
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 vanilla bean
3/4 cup matzo farfel
1/2 cup melted chocolate (We only use 70% Schmerling

This is a great recipe for onion lovers. Onions are a staple in most kitchens; they are diced, sliced, chopped, minced ? you name it ? and are a basic ingredient in most recipes. But in this recipe, they are a stand-alone star
