Sometimes the best recipes are the ones you find on the back of the manufacturer's packaging or on their websites. For instance, the chocolate brownies I made on Thanksgiving were excellent and straight from the Hershey's website.
Tonight's lasagna came right from the back of the San Georgio "no boil" lasagna package. You can find the recipe here:
It's hard to mess up lasagna with all it's cheesy yumminess especially when you are following a recipe. I did tinker with the recipe a bit. Since I'm a veggie lover, I added a can of tomatoes, mushrooms and onions to the mix. I also needed more like two jars of spaghetti sauce to make make the dish the way it is described on the box. Unfortunately, I think it made it a little too watery because the dish fell apart when I cut into it. It was more like a pasta cheese soup than lasagna. Maybe I should have followed the directions...
Well, it still tasted good and will yield plenty of leftovers! That's what's important to us!
"Maybe I should have followed the directions..."
ReplyDeleteLOL .. I find myself saying that all the time! I'm not a great cook, but I do enjoy it.
That Lasagna looks pretty yummy.
I love lasagne. I do find that if you're going to add ingredients that will release water as it cooks, you want to firm up the ricotta cheese with some breadcrumbs and an egg. I usually let mine sit for about 10 minutes after taking it out of the oven.
ReplyDeleteI posted a recipe for stuffed shells the other night; the cheese filling is the same that I use for my lasagne. You can mix it up by adding spinach, chopped artichoke hearts (the non-marinated kind), and using alfredo sauce instead of the usual tomato.
I'm glad you're feeling better. I love how Johnnycakes made you "man dinner" for dinner when you were sick. My husband would end up ordering me hot & sour soup or bringing a Subway turkey sub home.
With the right combination of low-fat cheese lasagne can be a tasty and healthy meal. Portion size is also very important.
