Dinner Tonight/

[Guest guest]

In a hurry and craving cheese:

 

I tossed one 16 oz bag of pasta in boiling water. While waiting, I mixed 2 cans

of diced tomatoes and 1 can of tomato paste together in a bowl. Then I added

italian spices like oregano, basil, garlic...salt.

When pasta was almost done, I threw in a small container of baby spinach leaves

(2-3 large handfuls) (could have done more; my children tolerate it in small

doses). (The spinach cooks in the pasta water for just a couple of minutes).

I drain pasta/spinach and put in large mixing bowl, then added 1 small container

of ricotta cheese and mixed well. Then I added 3/4 of the tomato mixture to the

pasta/spinach/ricotta.

Poured all of the large mixing bowl into a sprayed lasagna dish, poured

remaining tomatoes on top. Then emptied a small bag of mozzarella cheese over

the top (all about the craving!).

Baked 350 for 30 min. ('til cheese was slightly browned).

I think this recipe came from Kraft.com - i use it regularly and need to change

it up a bit. Wondering how many other veggies I could add to this... finely

chopped mushrooms?

Any other ideas?

That sounds great.

 

I would saute peppers, onions and thinly sliced brussle sprouts and add

those to the mix.

carrots...
