Unless you are my sister, everyone loves lasagna. It's comfort food. The Italians will probably claim lasagna as theirs, but it is historically a British dish. I am neither Italian or British but I love it and have always wanted to make my own from scratch. I had turkey meat so I found a recipe online, modified it, and here it is.
- 9 whole-wheat lasagna noodles
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 3 cans tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2-3 cloves of garlic
- 6 cups chopped fresh spinach
- 2 cups fat-free ricotta cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
A few tips to keep in mind:
- make sure there are no bare noodles poking out the top or sides
- You can add as much or as little spinach as you prefer. We love spinach so I used 6 full cups
- This is not a spicy meal so you could easily add crushed red pepper for a kick
Enjoy with a glass or red wine or cold milk!
I have a friend who doesn't like lasagna either. We're starting a club and we're only going to eat SPAGHETTI.
