Lasagna; meat sauce with sautéed Kale, spinach, and mushroom

Jeff woke up today dreaming of lasagna for dinner.  This was particularly nice to hear since he wanted to go get all the groceries, make enough for dinner and put two in the freezer.

He made a beef meat sauce, this had onions, garlic, fennel seeds, salt, pepper, one large jar of preggo sauce, worcheshire, and fresh basil at the end.  He would of added oregano but we didn't have any. He brought this to a simmer for about 15 minutes and set it aside.

He made a filling of drained cottage cheese combined with sautéed mushrooms, kale and spinach which he also drained in a sieve. 

Now for the assembly line.  This is when Aubrey and I were summoned to help!
We grated a mixture of old cheddar and mozerella. 




In the pans we layered sauce, noodles, sauce, grated cheese, noodles, spinach kale cottage cheese filling, noodles, sauce and finished with a generous amount of grated cheese.

I am thrilled to put these two lasagnas in the freezer.  I am also excited to have a yummy dinner ready for tonight! This was such a fun way to pass the time and have a memorable family activity.
