tonight, i combined two favorite dinners - my friend kristen's lasagna toss and chicken parmesan meatloaf. i've never really been a fan of meatloaf but this recipe changed my opinion. i usually serve it with pasta but it also makes great subs. since i'd been wanting both the lasagna toss and chicken parm meatloaf, i figured why not mix them together? definitely a winner chez cheeky!
kristen's lasagna toss
- 1 pound of campanelle or farfalle
- 3 cups prepared tomato sauce (i usually use my amatriciana sauce)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- salt & pepper
- optional: parmigiano reggiano or grana padano
cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but firm. drain well.
heat up the sauce over medium high heat.
in a large serving bowl, combine the ricotta cheese & about 2/3 of the mozzarella cheese. add the pasta and pour the sauce on top. add the salt & pepper & toss well. sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella, parm reggiano, and serve immediately.

*i cut up just under half of the chicken parm meatloaf and added right before serving
already looking forward to leftovers tomorrow!
