A Lasagna made in One Pot
During colder months I, like many others, always crave more hearty types of foods. I know we should be eating healthily but sometimes you also just want to eat something that is good for the soul. The easy, cheesy types of foods that scream MORE!
This Hearty One Pot Lasagna does just that. It's a no-fuss recipe that will have everyone coming back for seconds and thirds.
And the best part is that it really doesn't require tons of effort, because let's be real I'd much rather be sitting in front of my fireplace instead of slaving away in the kitchen.
I've made this recipe multiple times for myself and then simply froze the leftovers for later in the week. A whole week's dinners are sorted in not only one day but in one pot! Yes, please!
I think the part that really makes it so scrumptious is the Cape Herb & Spice Mediterranean Roast Rub. I'm not lying when I say that I put that stuff on EVERYTHING! It goes into my scrambled eggs in the morning, over my roast veggies, etc, etc.
I created a quick and easy video just to illustrate how incredibly simple this recipe is. So have a look let me know what you think about it and share it if you love it!
