You need

To buy

  • 4 ounces mixed salad greens
  • 1 lemon

From your shelf

  • 1 package lasagna with meat sauce (Food Club)

Staples

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F [190°C]. Transfer the entire lasagna to a baking dish if it is not already in one, cover with foil, and slide it into the oven.
  2. While the lasagna heats, toss 4 ounces of mixed salad greens with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, and a squeeze of juice from half the lemon. Divide between two plates.
  3. After 20 minutes, check that the lasagna is heated through; the edges will bubble and the top will feel warm to the touch. Remove the foil for the last 2 minutes if you want the cheese to brown.
  4. Plate a portion of lasagna alongside the salad. Finish with a lemon wedge.

Note Swap the salad for steamed or roasted vegetables if preferred. Leftover lasagna keeps covered in the refrigerator for three days and reheats gently in a 350°F oven. Serve with garlic bread if you have it, or warm crusty bread on the side.
