Accidentally Vegetarian Lasagna

Hello!

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:
  1. Heat oven to 400 F
  2. Mix together the milk with the cream of mushroom soup (and in some spices to taste- garlic salt and pepper)
  3. Mix together chopped veggie meatballs AND spinach AND pasta sauce
  4. 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)
    1. BOTTOM LAYER - half of the meatball-spinach-sauce
    2. Noodle layer (3 noodles)
    3. MIDDLE LAYER - Cream of Mushroom Soup
    4. Noodle layer (3 noodles)
    5. TOP LAYER - other  half of the meatball-spinach-sauce
    6. Noodle Layer (3 noodles)
    7. sprinkle cheese on top with a little bit of garlic salt and oregeno
  5. Cover
  6. Bake for 30 minutes
  7. Uncover
  8. Broil for about 4 min or until cheese browns a little on the top
  9. Let rest for 10 min
  10. Enjoy!
Serves about 6 and about 350-400 calories a serving (depending on how much cheese you like!)
