Notes

  • Make it vegetarian: Use mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach instead of meat.
  • Spice it up: Add more red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
  • Use a different pasta: Try rotini or mafaldine if you don’t have lasagna noodles.
  • Make it lighter: Substitute half-and-half for heavy cream and use ground turkey.
  • Boost protein: Swap beef and sausage for shredded rotisserie chicken.
