Easy One Pot Lasagna

Remember me? It's been a hot minute, but I sure did miss y'all. After being sick for a few days and having a rough week, I took a little break. But, I am happy to be back! 

Instead of telling you about our extremely exciting weekend of takeout, work and hanging out with friends… I thought I'd start off the week with one of my favorite new recipes.

Damn Delicious has done it again. She has come up with an easy and delicious meal that anyone will love.  I whipped this up tonight and Andrew was right there by my side helping.  The entire meal only took 30 minutes from start to finish, so this is perfect for a quick week night meal. The cleanup was so easy because the entire meal was cooked in one pan. 

I did slightly adapt the recipe because the original recipe calls for Italian sausage, but I'm not a huge fan of Italian sausage. Instead, I used Jimmy Dean's maple sausage. I figured the sweetness of the sausage would offset the acidity of the tomatoes, and it was the best decision I made. If you love Italian sausage, definitely try it, but if you don't, the maple won't disappoint. For some really weird reason, I couldn't find my red pepper flakes for the life of me, so I substituted cayenne instead. Also, I cooked mine about 5 minutes longer than the original recipe calls for but this could have been due to the size of my pasta.

Hmm, give me all the cheese. 

For me, I would say this tasted closer to a Hamburger Helper more than lasagna, but whatever you want to call it, it was amazing! 

Let me know if you try this! I should have taken a picture but between my serving and Andrew's serving plus going back for seconds, we still had 3/4 of the meal left! We will definitely be enjoying the leftovers this week. 

I hope y'all have a great start to the week!
