Do you like Lasagna but hate to do all the layers and all the work of putting it together, then I have the answer for you!!!
How about Lasagna soup. Baby it's cold outside. It is warm and comforting and cheesy like lasagna but not too much cheese so you can still watch your calories. Fresh ingredients is how you make it healthy. You can add spinach if that is how you normally make your lasagna, wait even if you don't usually you can still add it It comes out a beautiful green and gives your soup that extra something.
Still your choice. Definitely buy the Mafalda noodles, you won't have to break up regular size lasagna noodles. They aren't as easy to break up as you think. I broke a nail and almost bruised my thumb.
Make sure you keep to the directions and don't serve too soon. It needs to simmered a while to get that fabulous taste you know you want. It smells so good like you are in an Italian home.
