Natalie’s Notes

Made December 2025 for an easy, high protein weeknight dinner. Very tasty and satiating – will make again! Next time, I’ll invest in high quality marinara and bone broth since that is the bulk of this dish, and I’ll stir in spinach or chopped zucchini at the end for extra veggies. I’ll also choose a lasagna noodle with curled edges; I used a flat noodle and it was a bit hard to eat with a spoon. This dish is very salty, though.
