"Leftovers? make Lasagna!"

Now that my sister stays in Brussels all week for school, I have to learn how to cook for two to three (my brother eating for 2.something on his 'good days'). We had eaten pan fried salmon on monday, with a mix of diced mediterranean vegetables (zucchini, eggplants, onions and carrots, according to the pack) which I cooked in a tomato sauce and rice. There was too much for us left but not enough for a complete serving.

My brother almost broke his foot two weeks ago and had to get it plastered (is this the right word?) which meant that I had to cook on his days. I had already made the 'interesting stuff' at the begining and I had pretty much ran out of ideas. By chance, the box of Barilla lasagna sheets was almost full. It was yummy. I absolutely love vegetables. And pasta. And gratins. Heh. I cooked some spinach, sautéed the meat of two chicken sausages and added them to the vegetables, along with a bottle of spaghetti sauce. I made a quick béchamel, built the lasagna , spred emmenthal cheese on top and hop! Twenty-five minutes later (at 200°C) it was ready. Don't jump on it, though, let it cool down a little.

No, I didn't take any pictures. We were too busy eating lol.
