| You have to admit, it's beautiful. |
Tired of the same old single-serving frozen lasagna from your local grocer’s freezer chest?
It’s about as exciting as your love life.
What you need is this life-altering frozen lasagna hack, oh, and it will work for the frozen spaghetti product as well. Just so you know—
I know that all too well.
(He means about the love life. – ed.)
This isn’t even really a recipe. I got the Stouffer’s frozen entrée at Walmart for $1.58.
That isn’t very exciting. It’s true you can dress up your plate with a bit of salad, garlic bread, celery, carrot sticks, almost anything is good. And yet it is terribly convenient, and some days this sort of meal, with 320 calories and 30-mg of cholesterol, are about all we can muster the energy to actually do.
The alternative is fast food, and the prices are there on the board for all to see.
What I did, was to take perhaps an ounce of shredded mozzarella cheese, pizza cheese, and after lifting the cellophane top, sprinkle that on the frozen product. Next came four or five pieces of pepperoni. This was the Amore product, which is a little less spicy and perhaps ‘hammier’ than some other products. It’s also 300-gm, and I got it for $5.49. There were two other products on display, one at the same price, but it was only 175-gm. The other product was still $6.99 for 275-gm, so it’s a bit difficult to compare price per 100-gm, unless you’re like my mother and you have a calculator in your head.
Anyhow, reseal the plastic as best you can, assuming
you haven’t shredded it, and microwave for six minutes. When we plate that, we might sprinkle on some genuine parsley flakes and fresh-ground black pepper or poivre noir...
In the photo, we have paired that up with a dill pickle, (large jar, $2.49), coleslaw, (Walmart, $2.97), and a slice of fresh-baked #superdough bread, which presumably is some sort of shameless product placement. I made the dough myself, in other words.
Also, beer.
