Progresso Kitchen Favorites Classic Lasagna w/ Italian Loaf Bread

Today's Menu: Progresso Kitchen Favorites Classic Lasagna w/ Baked Italian Loaf Bread

Being in a wheelchair in the rain is tough! But you have to go on and get what you have to do done. That was grocery shopping, errands, and visiting my Dad at the Rehab Center. So what better way to warm a cold and rainy day than Lasagna! I used 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, sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms (first time I added these) and I also added a bit more seasoning (McCormick Grinder Italian Herb). I combined the Mozzarella and Goda 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 the Lasagna is 390 calories and 24 carbs but I cut the calorie 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 as usual! Everyone really loves this. The flavor as always is excellent. The Sauce was thick and well seasoned and the same for the pasta, perfect. I prepared a side of Market Side Fresh Italian Bread that I buttered with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter and then baked it at 400 degrees for 12 minutes. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding, 60 calories and 14 carbs.
