Lasagna

This post has no double meanings. I will write about the lasagna I just created.

I am not a huge pasta fan. I just feel hungry and fat after eating pasta. Actually, mashed potatoes have the same effect. Anyway, I've been trying to incorporate noodles into our diet a little more since we've been married, since Garrett loves them, and I love him. A lot!

We recently bought ground turkey at the store since we've been sticking with chicken for the past several months. It's nice to mix things up once in awhile, and the beef was ridiculously expensive for a ridiculously high fat content.

Today I was pondering the contents of our cupboards, when my brain actually processed the mostly empty box of lasagna noodles I usually end up ignoring.

Realizing we don't have ricotta or cottage cheese, I decided to wing it and use greek yogurt.

I cooked the ground turkey with onion, garlic, oregano, basil, and parsley, and added finely ground frozen spinach. Why not add veggies when possible is what I say! Especially if it only enhances the way it looks, and doesn't take over the dish.

Add tomato sauce.

I layered things in the pan: sauce, noodles, greek yogurt mixed with egg, and pasta, doing large layers between the pasta. Topped with shredded mozzerella cheese. Bake in oven for too long. Burn mozzerella... oops.

Take out. Stab fork into lasagna, put prematurely into mouth, burn mouth. Pause to see if I can still taste.

And it is so dang delicious! And there are no grease gobbets floating on top of the lasagna, nor in the bottom of my empty dish.

And I am happy and my eternal manfriend is happy. I and I feel victorious that I make healthy, yummy food.

The end.

PS. We are going to rent a puppy this coming week! It's a christmas present from my beloved. And I am excited. *happy sigh.
