Mac & Cheese Lasagna
When you're dating a food blogger there are essentially no nights away from blogging. Our intention was just to eat leftovers and somehow we ended up turning those leftovers into a blog post. I wanted to make a stir-fry, Dave wanted to make lasagna and somehow we ended up with delicious mac and cheese style sauce.

This lasagna was fantastic. The vegetables gave the dish great color and great flavor, you can use any combination that you like, or whatever is in your fridge. It was nice to use something other than a traditional red sauce or alfredo sauce on the lasagna. The mac and cheese style sauce was rich and paired well with the pasta and veggies. We both ate big servings of the lasagna for dinner, this is something I would happily make again.
