Hi Betsey,
It takes about 1 1/2 to 2 cups of strawberries, halved, to make the tart. The pie shell is 9". Let me know how yours turns out!

My favorite crust to use is Vermont Mystic Pie Company pie shells. I find it locally in a grocery store.

It will take about 8 oz of strawberries or 1 1/2 - 2 cups to cover the top of the tart.
Thanks!

Hi Deena,
Thanks for your question. You can place the puff pastry directly on a non-stick cookie sheet. There's no need to brush with oil or butter before baking, puff pastry has butter between the layers of pastry so it will be delicious when prepared this way.
Let us know how yours turns out!

Spring Asparagus Cheese Tart
By Tiffany Ludwig It’s asparagus season! There are some delicious, delicate, almost sweet asparagus in my markets. It’s worth the wait to really enjoy asparagus this time of year. The larger, more woody stand-ins we get year-round just aren’t the same. I like to use pre-made, frozen puff past...

I just received the most wonderful box from Zabar's. Boy, did I enjoy the nova and bagels. There is nothing like a Zabar's bagel and as soon as I opened the box, I popped one in the toaster. I did as you directed and sliced the remaining ones and put in the freezer, to be rationed out. And ho...

Hi Adah,
It's true poppy seeds can cost a bit, depending on where you are shopping for them. You certainly can use half the amount the recipe calls for - it will just have less "pop". Alternatively I have read that toasted sesame seeds or ground flax seeds can be substituted in certain recipes, but I haven't tried either. I'll let you know if I do try them, and please let me know if you do too. The added orange does give it a good amount of flavor so I think it would make a nice bundt cake even without.
Best,
Tiffany

Hi Anne,
I have successfully baked and frozen this lasagna. When ready to eat just keep the foil on the lasagna while baking so the top doesn't brown any more. I haven't prepared it and refrigerated it for a day before baking. If you try this please let me know how it turns out.
Thanks

There's no need to cook the noodles first. They'll cook perfectly while baking in the oven.

Hi Lynn,
Thanks for your comment. It's a great idea to have extra sauce on hand. When I use the jar of sauce and the full jar of crushed tomatoes with all their liquid it always turns out great for me.

Hi Marlene,
Once it's grated just lay the zucchini on a cutting board and chop it up with a big chef's knife. The very small pieces help it not stand out from the other ingredients once combined.
Thanks for your question.

Hi Melissa,
Thanks for your question.
I actually haven't done that with this recipe. I do it all the time with my banana bread / muffins recipe and it comes out great. For that one I remove half the butter and add in the same amount of applesauce. I'll try this next time I make pumpkin muffins. If you try it, please let me know how they turn out.

Hi Rainy, thanks for the comment. You can freeze them before baking. Just prepare them up to step 5 and place them on a flat surface, not overlapping, to freeze. When you're ready to cook them thaw them first then brush on the egg. I haven't frozen them after baking them so I can't recommend that. Let us know if you try.
