![]() ![]() To finish the layering, add a layer of the lasagna sheets, a layer of tomato sauce, and a layer of the cheese combination. Repeat this entire layering process again. Top the sheets with another layer of the tomato sauce, a layer of the ground beef / mushroom mixture, a layer of fresh spinach, and dollops of the cheese combination. Next, layer the lasagna sheets, uncooked, on top of the sauce. If you are using store bought, I recommend the following: Barilla Vero Gusto, Primal Kitchen, or Raos. In a rectangular baking dish, layer the base with a thin layer of the tomato sauce. In a bowl, combine the ricotta and cottage cheese and mix well this will be the cheese layering in the dish. Remove that skillet from the stovetop and set aside for layering. ![]() Leading up to this night I was working full time in Sales & Trading, growing my Freckled Foodie account, and planning a wedding. Add the chopped mushrooms onto the skillet with the beef and sautee for an additional five minutes, or until the mushrooms are soft. It also shouldn’t go unnoticed that this was a very uncannily me night: never in my life had I gone to exercise after work on a Friday night or taken a workout class in Brooklyn. Using a wooden spoon, mix the ground beef on the skillet until it is almost fully cooked through. For the beef and mushroom filling, add the ground beef to a hot cast iron skillet with some ghee, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. To make, you begin with preparing your fillings. The baking dish is your oyster, layer away! This dish calls for only 3 layers, but don’t let that stop you. At all! Once you prep and set up your layers, it is basically an assembly line of layering and then allowing everything to cook and perfect in the oven.

Often times people’s number one excuse for not meal prepping is that they do not have time. Because it is still unclear where it definitely originated from, the date is clearly unknown, but it is believed to have been invented, as this modern version that we know, sometime in the 15 or 1600s. There is conflicting information when it comes to the origin of lasagna, as some claim it is from ancient Greece (pre Roman occupation) and many believing it came from Italy (specifically, Naples). I first learned that the term lasagna with an “a” at the end refers to the individual pasta sheets, and that the actual dish should be referred to with the term lasagne ending with an “e”. **While we’re talking about a more classic lasagna, lets do a little history dive. (Nope, just me?) I hope I’m not alone in these emotions, because I want to provide you to give the people you love these same feelings by making this recipe. The work that goes into this dish and the taste of the final result is one that makes the recipient feel loved, cared for, and appreciated. The labor of love that is involved in making lasagna and its many layers shows through and shines with every single bite enjoyed.
