Progresso Kitchen Favorites Classic Lasagna w/ Toasted Whole Grain Bread


Dinner Tonight: Progresso Kitchen Favorites Classic Lasagna w/ Toasted Whole Grain Bread





This has become one of our favorite dinners and our favorite Lasagna recipes, Progresso Kitchen Favorites Classic Lasagna! It’s very easy to make as the dinner kit contains the Lasagna Pasta, Tomato Herb sauce, Ricotta Sauce Mix, and Grated Parmesan Cheese. I added 1 lb. Jennie – O Lean Ground Turkey, 1 Cup water, 2/3 Cup 2% Milk, 1 (8 oz.) Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (2 Cups), 1 cup Shredded dutch Gouda, and I also added a bit more seasoning (McCormick Grinder Italian Herb). I combined the Mozzarella and Gouda Cheese. Gouda is such a great tasting Cheese and is a perfect melting Cheese. 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 additional 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 every time! Everyone really loves this. The flavor as always is excellent. The Sauce was thick and well seasoned and the same for the pasta, perfect, plus plenty leftovers to freeze for later. I had a side of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread that I buttered with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter and then sprinkled Shredded Parmesan Cheese and Sargento Shredded Provolone/Mozzarella on it. Then I baked for 10 minutes at 400 degrees until the bread was toasted. For dessert/snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Jolly Time Popcorn.
