Recipe Notes

Lasagna. It is by its very nature Mediterranean diet and may be the perfect recipe that has it all – whole grain pasta, lean meat, a little bit of cheese and lots of veggies all in a single dish. The best part is that lasagna is actually better when it is leftover.

It seems like a lot of work, but hands-on time is all of about 20 minutes. Make a double or triple batch so there are a lot of leftovers. Freeze in single serving portions for a convenient healthy meal.

"I used to think I knew what love was, but here recently it has been revealed to me that what I thought was love, was actually lasagna. Still, I cling to my maxim: love is tasty."
