Anything pasta has me weak at the knees, from spaghetti’s like Spaghetti Bolognese and Basil Pesto Chicken Spaghetti, to Creamy Chicken Carbonara. The list of opportunities and flavours is endless, but todays pick was one nearly made me fall to the floor after tasting! These are a few of my favourite things: When the cheese melts! When the cheese strings! When I’m feelin saaaad… I simply remember my favourite things…and then I don’t feeeeeeel….soooo baaaadddd… Ooops. I sang. I couldn’t help myself. This lasagna packed a powerful punch. Or more like a slap-in-tha-face. Because lasagnaaaahh!! Combining pumpkin and pasta is really a no brainer for us.
Double the cheese. Double the flavour! The ricotta and the mozzarella hit is crazy good in this. Like cooking restaurant quality food in your own kitchen! Along side this pumpkin mash-up, a beautiful creamy texture is born. I only used 6 lasagna sheets for this entire pan! So…I guess we could call this a lower carb lasagna too. I used these spelt lasagna sheets, and I’m a fan! A big, ‘I need an autograph,’ fan!
If you’ve been following my insane-ness for a while now…you’ve probably noticed see how much I love quick, easy and simple. And it’s not laziness, I promise you. It’s having 3 children (plus a husband, because let’s be real here, they need us just as much as the kids do. Right?) plus other things going on that by the time I get my ass home, I neeeeed quick and simple! So…this lasagna filled my needs. I had this in the oven in about 10 minutes. No joke. Not even kidding. And so worth the oven baking time, with that cheeeeeesy melt-y goodness. The ricotta throughout the lasagna was pure perfection. Melt in your mouth perfection. And the chicken in this instead of beef is a really nice and lighter way to change it!
I buy freshly ground chicken breast straight from my butcher. They’re so good when you ask them to ground up some chicken breast. That way, you can be 1000% sure your getting pure lean meat! And you can taste the difference.
