Time to toss the old recipes for lasagna and welcome the new! Tossed Lasagna basically deconstructs the lasagna by removing the layers. “But what’s left?” you might ask. The answer is a beefy, cheesy, rich bowl of pasta with wide lasagna noodles helping to mop up every bite of sauce and savory meat. Mozzarella on top ensures you don’t miss out on the melty goodness lasagna provides. It’s time to toss the old dinnertime routine in the bin and place Tossed Lasagna on the table instead!
