First post here. Potentially last post. Who knows?
I'm really just using this as a place to post things that I come up with that I decide to share or save. Today- I have Accidentally Vegetarian Lasagna. With loads of random food in my pantry I was looking to get rid of some of the stuff I've had for ages but never used. I'd found this recipe for Beef and Mushroom Lasagna . . . and came up with:
Accidentally Vegetarian Lasagna
What to get:
- 1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
- 1/4 cup skim milk
- 1 pkg Morningstar Farms - Veggie Meatballs (about 1/2 lbs chopped)
- 1 10oz package of frozen chopped spinach (thawed and drained)
- 9 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
- 2 cups pasta sauce (I used Italian and Basil)
- about 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and/or parmesan (or any Italian cheese)
- Plus some additional spices to taste . . . garlic salt / pepper / oregano
What to do:
- Heat oven to 400 F
- Mix together the milk with the cream of mushroom soup (and in some spices to taste- garlic salt and pepper)
- Mix together chopped veggie meatballs AND spinach AND pasta sauce
- Layer everything in an 11 x 7 x 2-inch baking dish (I only had an 8 x 8 x 2 . . . which was fine I just used less noodles)
- BOTTOM LAYER - half of the meatball-spinach-sauce
- Noodle layer (3 noodles)
- MIDDLE LAYER - Cream of Mushroom Soup
- Noodle layer (3 noodles)
- TOP LAYER - other half of the meatball-spinach-sauce
- Noodle Layer (3 noodles)
- sprinkle cheese on top with a little bit of garlic salt and oregeno
- Cover
- Bake for 30 minutes
- Uncover
- Broil for about 4 min or until cheese browns a little on the top
- Let rest for 10 min
- Enjoy!
Serves about 6 and about 350-400 calories a serving (depending on how much cheese you like!)
