I had some ricotta and provolone in the fridge and thought of making a lasagna but I didn’t have any lasagna noodles and was too lazy to make my own from scratch so I hunted down a recipe that used penne, ziti or medium shells for a casserole type dish. I had penne rigate so that’s what I went with. And, in place of the doctored marinara the recipe called for, I used a jar of mushroom and green pepper pasta sauce. The results were pretty good. And I now have enough pasta for five more meals.

Sounds delicious and a great way to adapt and modify a recipe to suit the available resources
Thank you. It was a fun afternoon cooking session.
What a clever take on a beloved dish. I actually prefer frozen leftover lasagna reheated because the pasty gets a little crispy on the edges. It’s only 6am and you have me craving lasagna!
Glad to hear from you. Lasagna is a great comfort dish.
