I a great idea I have never heard of such a meal I am going to give it a try. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good meal. I've got a thing against lasagna, but I think I could do this. My lasagna problem is just with the shape of the noodles and a bad childhood experience. Anyway, your recipe looks good!
