Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:18:38 GMT

Recipe: White LasagnaBy Melissa ClarkMade without any Bolognese or tomato sauce, a white lasagna is a celebration of pasta and vegetables bound together by a creamy béchamel. This version, brimming with herbs, spinach, asparagus and peas, is an ode to spring, like a baked pasta primavera in its richest form. Serve it in small squares as a first or pasta course, as it’s served in Italy, or in more substantial slabs as a meatless main course. It’s a bit of a project, so if you want to work ahead, you can make the béchamel up to a week in advance and store it in the refrigerator. The baked lasagna can also be made ahead and refrigerated for up to two days. Reheat, covered, in a 350-degree oven for 30 to 45 minutes.Yield: 6 main course or 12 appetizer or side-dish servingsTotal time: 3 hours, 15 minutesIngredientsFor the Béchamel:4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan1/3 cup all-purpose flour4 cups whole milk, plus more if needed1 teaspoon fine sea or table salt, ...

Los Angeles may replace peak-hour travel lanes with bike, bus lanes

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:18:38 GMT

On some of Los Angeles' busiest streets, street parking spots are removed and instead function as another lane for driving during peak traffic times.However, a proposal by the Los Angeles City Council could disallow driving those lanes, perhaps opening the door to them becoming bike and bus lanes.On Wednesday, the council asked for a study on the topic, specifically on the affected roads Alvarado Street, Vermont Boulevard, and La Brea and Roscoe avenues."Most peak hour lanes were installed many years ago, in an era where vehicle throughput was the primary (or only) consideration of street design, and the need for or desirability of these lanes has not been evaluated since their installation," read a motion authored by Councilmembers Bob Blumenfield and Mike Bonin.The council has not approved the changes and is so far only seeking a report on the move, which the Los Angeles Department of Transportation has been instructed to bring back within 90 days.
