Lasagna Toss

This is based on a recipe that I received from my aunt at my bridal shower about 6 years ago. I finally used it this last year and modified it to make it a quicker meal. Hey, a working wife has to survive somehow! This is a quick, and EASY, alternative to lasagna when you don’t have much time, it’s great for a weeknight meal! Serve with side salad and garlic bread and you have a quick and yummy meal!

Step: 1

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2.5 quart baking dish.

Step: 2

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place pasta in the pot, cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until tender, and drain.

Step: 3

Cook and stir the Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the fat from the meat, pour the cooked pasta and spaghetti sauce into the skillet, and stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step: 4

Pour half of the hot pasta-sausage mixture into the prepared baking dish, spread with the cottage cheese in an even layer, and sprinkle with half the mozzarella cheese. Spread the remaining pasta mixture over the cheese, and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.

Step: 5

Cover and bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, until the casserole is hot and the cheese is melted and bubbling. Let it stand 5 minutes to firm up before serving.

Avoidance on late-night snacking and cravings , it is much important to include some fun foods (or what one may perceive as unnecessary ). It means , if we can be order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, perhaps we really will the burger and should have just enjoyed it in the first place."

When it comes to eat on evening , much eat or eating too much of the wrong item of food can lead to bad habit on sleeping. On the flip side, a daylight food that is less than satiating not make leave you want more and resulting in reaching for an unhealthy late-night side dish even closer to bedtime .
