Monday. I’m beat. When are the weekend activities going to abate? I open the fridge and it’s a disaster. There are stacks of Tupperware containers of varying ages and stages of decay. My 16 year old son just crams his leftover plates – uncovered… still on the plate- wherever he can fit them in the fridge, and my 12 year old wants lasagna. Lasagna.
I hate throwing away veggies, so after cleaning out the fridge and restoring order, I have some decent ingredients left and I’m using them!
Sauce
1 onion finely chopped
1 T chopped garlic
Sauté.
Add rosemary, oregano, rosemary, salt, red pepper
2 finely chopped zucchini (if your kids are picky, shred it so it’s not identifiable)
1 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
Sauté mas
2 T chipotle
1/2 can pumpkin pack
1 16 oz can of diced tomatoes
Filling
Ricotta 10oz
4 oz mozzarella
1t nutmeg
2 eggs
Yep- leftover ricotta from quiche last Friday. Same for the mozzarella. I see an Amazon fresh order in my near future because this fridge is empty!
Noodles
2 cups of gluten free flour mix- I used Pamela’s
1 egg mixed with water to total 225 ml
Layer
Bake at 350 for 45 mins
I topped with olives.. had 1/2 a jar of those too
Eat
The pumpkin adds a smooth richness to he sauce that just blends perfectly with the subtle spice of the chipotle.
This turned out just right and my fridge is clean too!
Happy Monday❤️
