I made a lasagna yesterday, using up some things. Only thing I had to buy
was a zucchini and I could have done without that but I like it in there. Alas, I had no mozzarella except for a package of string cheese. I opted not to use that. I browned a pound of organic, grass fed ground beef with a yellow onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper and the zucchini, all of which had been chopped. Sauce was a combination of crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce with a little Italian seasoning added. I can't remember the brand name of the pasta. They were small, dried sheets of whole wheat. Said no boiling required but that never seems to work for me. I dropped them briefly in boiling water. To layer, I started with plain sauce on the bottom of the baking dish then pasta, added the meat/veg mixture with more sauce mixed in. Repeat, then more pasta then plain sauce on top, making sure that it was well covered. Everything was already hot so it didn't need long in the oven. Just heated though. I did have some Provolone and Parmesan so I put that on top of my husband's portion, then just put it in the microwave briefly to melt the cheese. I had the lasagna again today and it was even better. There is just one portion left. Wish I could remember where I bought that pasta. I really like that the sheets are small and it is a small box. So I didn't wind up with a huge amount of lasagna. Tonight I used up that apple cake mix that I bought at the closing Safeway. I had some apples to use up. It called for 2 cups of those, chopped, and two eggs. No added fat or liquid and the pan was not to be greased. Topped it with a little bit of vanilla/cinnamon icing. And now I am prepping for baked beans. I woke up in the middle of the night with a severe craving for them and decided that would be better for me to make than the bean soup. The house just smells wonderful! |
