Everyone knows that we are supposed to eat healthier, right? Well, sometimes it's easier said than done. I have a hard time ordering a salad when I'm eating out instead of getting a juicy burger or cheese filled mashed potatoes.
Some choices, however, are not that hard to make. What if you just substitute your regular white pasta with whole wheat pasta?
Recently, I got a chance to develop a recipe for Barilla with one of their Barilla Plus products, rich with protein and Omega-3.
I decide to create a version of a savory kugel: instead of egg noodles, I used Farfalle (bow tied pasta); instead of cottage cheese, I used ricotta. I also added leeks, mushrooms, thyme, cheese and red pepper flakes. Since I could not decide what to name this dish, the title is pretty long: Barilla Plus Bake with Mushrooms & Leeks: Lazy White Lasagna.
And the winner is Dishing Delights!!!
Disclosure: Barilla US asked me to develop a recipe for them and provided me with a stipend. All opinions are my own.
