Due to daddy working until 8pm or later, us all having the flu....needless to say I have not been to the store (or finished my Christmas shopping)...etc. lezzzbe honest I'm just trying to keep my sanity people! Being home 24-7 while you're sick, taking care of two sick very needy kiddos on your own is exhausting. It's practically a miracle supper gets made!
So tonight I took a lb of ground sirloin out the freezer and figured I could make spaghetti (didn't realize I didn't have any noodles until after I made the sauce...only noodles I had were no boil lasagna noodles...hence lasghetti was born)
I didn't take pics when I was cooking bc obviously was planning on this being that great of a meal!
So here's the recipe
Lasghetti
Sautéed onion, celery, bell pepper and carrots in olive oil. Pressed 4 garlics, once they were softened, added cherry tomatoes, let them cook down and smashed them. Season with salt, garlic powder, lemon pepper, red pepper, oregano and basil.
Added 1lb of ground sirloin.
Let it brown.
Add 1lg 20oz can of crushed tomatoes. Reseason and add fresh basil if you have it.
Let sauce cook for a good hour...
Then this is where I got creative.
I realized..oh crap where are those spaghetti noodles...I have 1/4 bag of penne..but the girls don't eat penne that great...I need them to eat good...ohh I have a box of no boil lasagna noodles, could that work? Well let's try!
(Hope you enjoyed my thought process)
So I broke up the lasagna noodles a bit, spread them around in the sauce, added some milk (prob 1cup) for creaminess and a lot of Parmesan cheese!
Mixed it all up real good. Then put the whole pot in the oven uncovered at 350 for about 35 -45 mins
It was a big hit!
A new dish was made on a night when I thought it was gonna be a disaster!
My husband just got home from work and is currently on his third bowl!
And Lord help me get to the store tomorrow bc we literally have nOthing left to eat!
