Lasagne with Fresh Vegetables | Taste and Tell

My heart and thoughts are with all of those affected by the tragedy in Conneticuit last week.  The news broke my heart and brought tears to my eyes.  As a mother to young children, I cannot even imagine the heartache and pain that these families are experiencing.  To all of those who have been affected, my prayers are with you.

—————-

 

During this busy holiday time of year, I often get caught up in 1) actual holiday meals, and 2) holiday baking.  But one thing most of us don’t really think about is that we still have to eat and feed our families every night.  And a lot of times, we have company that we are feeding as well.  So good food – good, crowd-friendly food – is a must have.  And I don’t know about you, but if you’ve been making (and consuming) as many cookies as I have been the last few weeks, you’ll gladly welcome in some extra veggies during dinner time.

Enter a veggie filled lasagne.  Seriously – who doesn’t love lasagne?  What is better to serve your loved ones than a big pan of lasagne – especially during the holidays?

I don’t typically think of lasagne as a weeknight meal.  Let’s face it – it can be intimidating, and it can be time consuming.  But this lasagne uses Barilla oven ready lasagne noodles, which are a true time saver.  This was actually my first time ever using oven ready noodles, and I was seriously so impressed with how easy it was and how good they actually are.  And all of the vegetables were so needed after all of the sweets we have been eating!!  I loved how simplistic this lasagne was and how it was filling without feeling overly heavy.  My kind of dinner!

Whether you prefer the oven ready lasagne noodles or the traditional wavy noodles, Barilla has you covered.  They also have 8 great jarred sauces that will help you to make lasagne easy enough for anyone to make.  If you are looking for a great lasagne recipe (including this one), Barilla also has you covered with 6 authentic lasagne recipes.

    That lasagna looks fantastic! I mean it. Please have some delivered to my door at 5 PM tomorrow. lol (Actually, I could go for a slice right now!)

    Thank you for stopping in at Cranberry Morning. You’ll have to try that clam chowder. It’s pretty spectacular and our family thinks of it as a real treat because I only make it for Christmas. 🙂

    Secret – all lasagna noodles are actually oven-ready so long as you cover them with enough sauce. 🙂 I’m LOVING all the veggies in this! Totally perfect for those in-between holiday meals.
