Spinach Lasagna
There is one, and only one, vegetarian dish The Boy will eat. It’s this lasagna. I’ve made it a few times now. After the first time making it I realized one large rectangular pan makes WAAAAY too much for me & TB. I put it in two square pans as opposed to 1 rectangular one. And then I freeze the second one to enjoy at a later date! I often use Bertolli’s sauces for the spaghetti sauce. They have so many different flavors it can give it a slighlty different twist on it each time. This might not be the most photogenic meal, but it sure is tasty!
