definitely a feel-good comfort food meal,

this “lasagna” comes together in less than 30 minutes.

we’ve been sort of cultured into eating healthier over the last few years.

i blame san diego. i really did lose 5 lbs the second we moved here…

but it seems it’s a culture shift in more places than just here…

cutting carbs, and eating more green…

it’s a good thing, and i’m glad it’s a trend because we are still so far from good health.

 

so while we don’t eat pasta or rice all that often,

i will never get rid of the occasional naughty pasta recipe in my schedule,

cause it’s just the easiest thing ever!

and because i’m not really about deleting foods from my diet entirely. so we still eat pasta and rice,

just not nearly as often. ok we really never eat rice now that we discovered quinoa.

{i guess we ARE food snobs just a little bit.}

 

i often use those veggie pastas that are made with veggies,

and that helps take care of some of the guilt,

but then there are times when life calls for a comfort food and you just answer.

 

we are making a few big decisions around here.

decisions that will decide what the next few years, and possibly many future years will look like here,

and we have both lost weight stressing over it.

{i guess that’s not awful!}

so i threw in a pasta this week,

and we loved it.

no one loved it more than the 3 year old who devoured it over and over.

{3 year olds are like that… eat nothing for days, then turn into a psycho-eater to make up for it}

 

this “lasagna” is actually a 4 cheese ravioli tossed with italian sausage

and real cheese so it tastes like a mouth full of lasagna,

but only takes one pan, and less than 30 minutes.

{shooting directly into a metal spoon while wearing a skirt. really?! and look how unappetizing that real mozzarella looks. ew. i’m disgusting.}
