Blue Apron ~ Chicken and Sage Biscuit Pot Pie

This Chicken and Sage Biscuit Pot Pie was made with Cremini Mushrooms and Purple-Top Turnip.  I also added an onion to the carrot and celery mixture.  The end result was delicious and very easy to make.  The biscuit topping was spooned onto the chicken stew, leaving openings, so the casserole could cook.  This dish made enough for leftovers.

Blue Apron ~ Creamy Broccoli and Fennel Casserole

Tonight's meal was a vegetarian casserole with pasta, broccoli and fennel.  I never knew that this curly pasta had a name ~ mafalda.  It was apparently named for Princess Mafalda of Savoy (1902 ~ 1944).  The pasta's shape is perfect for holding the rich Fontina cheese and béchamel sauce.  Before being baked, the casserole was topped with a Pecorino cheese-Panko mixture.

I love any variation of a macaroni and cheese meal.  This fit the bill, although I enjoyed it more than my hubby.

As an aside, Princess Malfada married Prince Philipp of Hesse, the grandson of German Emperor Frederick III.  Prince Philip was a member of the Nazi party.  Hitler, however, believed that Princess Mafalda was working against the war effort.

While on a trip to Bulgaria in 1943, the Gestapo arrested her and she was sent to a concentration camp where she died.
