and yet, i made a lasagna for myself for dinner last night. let me note that this is the first time in my life i have ever done such a thing. however, carbs were necessary for my well being....
anyway, i kind of made up the recipe, based loosely on this one. i used leftover butternut squash SOUP, because i used no-boil noodles and needed extra liquid anyway. also used leftover spaghetti sauce. and cooked up some onion and spinach in a bit of olive oil. then, kind of just made lasagna like i always do....
the verdict? well, it was good. i do think it might have been a touch better if i had used the bit of italian sausage i had in the freezer. the sweetness of both squash and spaghetti sauce left it tasting a bit one-note, and i think the meat would have added texture and contrast.
that sounds sort of like i know what i am doing! ha. anyway. leftovers anyone????
:)

mmmm. can we come over for dinner?
so you're saying cooking should have textures and different colors too? sheesh. it would be really good to be be a designer in this world.
Squash soup. Squash soup. Squash soup.
Genius.
it's actually better the 2nd day.
who needs meat, i guess! i think even boys would eat it, karen...
I know mine would. I've already shopped for the week, but am putting soup ingredients and lasagna noodles on next week's list.
it would be pretty easy to just boil and mush some butternut squash, too. my SOUP was rather thick :)
I'll let you know how it goes! Costco sometimes has peeled and cubed butternut, so I'll be on the lookout. I'll probably make some soup, though, just because I love it so.
