The weather has significantly changed today! Time to break out all my comfort food recipes and lasagna tops the list. I’m a huge fan of veggie lasagna and by using Mama Jess Garden Good you can really boost the veggie content. This recipe was adapted from a Martha Stewart recipe. I know her recipes can sometime be intimidating – but I promise that you won’t believe how easy this is to make. The no-boil noodles cut out a step and OH…the fontina cheese just makes it!
And maybe try my favorite trick for making two small 8×8 lasagnas instead of the 9×13? I bake one and freeze one. Then one hectic night, I can bake the frozen one a be rewarded by the fruits* of my labor!
*I should say ‘veggies’!
