Progresso Kitchen Favorites Classic Lasagna w/ Toasted Whole Grain Bread


Today’s Menu: Progresso Kitchen Favorites Classic Lasagna w/ Toasted Whole Grain Bread





I made this for the first time back in July and can't wait to till it's time to have it again, Progresso Kitchen Favorites Classic Lasagna. It was very easy to make as the dinner kit contained the Lasagna Pasta, Tomato Herb sauce, Ricotta Sauce Mix, and Grated Parmesan Cheese. I added 1 LB. Lean Ground Turkey, 1 Cup water, 2/3 Cup 2% Milk, 1 (8 oz.) Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (2 Cups), and I also added a bit more seasoning (McCormick Grinder Italian Herb). Basically you just layer your ingredients in a 8″ square baking dish and cover and bake at 425 degrees for 30 minutes and bake an addtional 10 minutes uncovered. The product description along with full instructions are at the bottom of the post.

Prepared by the instructions it was 390 calories but I cut that and the carb count down by using Honeysuckle White Extra Lean Ground Turkey instead of Beef and Sargento Reduced Fat 2% Mozzarella Cheese. The Lasagna came out delicious again! Everyone really loves this. I’ve got a quick and easy way to have Lasagna now. The flavor was excellent. The Sauce was thick and well seasoned and the same for the pasta, perfect. I had a side of Aunt Millie’s Whole Grain Bread that I buttered with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter and then sprinkled Shredded Parmesan Cheese on it. Then I baked for 10 minutes until the the bread was toasted. For dessert later a bowl of Blue Bunny Natural Frozen Chocolate/Vanilla Swirl Yogurt.
