Sweet Potato, Broccoli and Sage Lasagna

8 Dec

I have been excited to make this since last night. I love when making up a new recipe can do that to me!

As you may know, I’m on Operation Clean-Out-The-Pantry. Before I resort to buying any more food, I am going to check my pantry first. The December budget is tight, so this plan is in full effect until the new year. I’ve had this box for months now (so long I had to check the expiration date!):

Sweet Potato, Broccoli and Sage Lasagna

Time: 20 minutes prep, 15 minutes cook

Ingredients

  • Two large sweet potatoes
  • Two heads of broccoli
  • Whole wheat lasagna noodles
  • Mozzarella
  • Sage
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Milk (one splash)

Directions

I decided to take the quick and easy route, so I microwaved everything instead of cooking on the stove.

1. Boil lasagna noodles

2. While that’s going, chop sweet potatoes and cook in the microwave until soft.

3. Add broccoli to the microwave and cook until soft.

4. Remove potatoes and place into a blender or food processor. Add salt, pepper and sage. Blend until smooth.

5. Add sweet potato puree to the broccoli.

6. Layer the lasagna noodles, the puree/broccoli mixture and cheese until you reach the top. Hopefully you don’t run out of puree like I did. It should look like this before putting it in the oven:

7. Add some cheese on top at the end. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes.

It should come out looking like this:

So delicious and filling. This was hands down the best meal I’ve ever made.

The perfect portion for my little old placemat replacement.

Make this and eat it now! The secret is in the sage :)

    So… if you freeze some of that and then put it in a box with some dry ice and ship it to me, do you think it’ll make it??

    I need to add sage to my cabinet. I think it definitely would enhance some of my dishes. And I have GOT to try that one :)

    That sounds amazing! I love the flavor combination! I always think of lasagna as heavy or taking a long time, but this is just the opposite!
