This is a super easy way to make Lasagna and a very yummy way to get rid of leftovers!



I submitted this recipe in a cooking contest.

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 1 cup left over onion (diced)
• 1 cup left over celery (diced)
• 2 cups spinach
• 1 cup Light Laughing Cow Cheese (about 6 wedges)
• 1 cup light sour cream
• 1 egg
• 1 cup grated cheese
• Parsley
Instructions:
This recipe can be made with almost any kind of leftovers you have.

Mix:
- left over meat (ie. chicken, ground beef, turkey, sausage etc)
- 1 jar of pasta sauce (any kind)
- all vegetables except spinach (any kind)

Mix:

Cover the bottom of a casserole dish with 1/3 of the meat sauce.
Add a layer of pasta (any kind; If you are using spaghetti as your pasta, it should be cut up.)
Cover the pasta with half of the cheese mixture.
Top with a layer of spinach.
Alternate meat sauce, pasta, cheese mixture, and spinach in that order ending with the meat sauce.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the final layer of meat sauce.
