Asparagus Lasagna with Basil Spinach Pesto Cream Sauce! New Recipe!

Asparagus Lasagna with Basil Spinach Pesto Cream Sauce!

That title is a mouthful, isn’t it? But what do I leave out? I had seen the Asparagus Lasagna on Galley Kitchen but couldn’t find it again when I went to make this. I realized later that I had pinned it.

So, this is my made up recipe. I made it in a square baker and it was so good and so rich. We made it the whole meal. No salad….nothing. Of course, this was before I started Weight Watchers……cause trust me, I am not sure I would want to count the points.

Check out my Basil Spinach Pesto Cream Sauce from last Monday. I used that for the sauce. I am not saying this is a particularly quickly made dish. If you have your pesto already made and in the freezer, this will go faster.

Hi, my name is Susan and I have only been blogging for a few months but I love it. Permanent Posies (Creative Chaos) is my blog and my subject matter is…well, that depends on the day and the mood. But, for the most part, I love cooking, watching the Food Network, reading cookbooks and, of course, eating. I am also an artist and spend time each week in my studio (bedroom) oil painting. I am a mother of four and a grandmother to 5 and that, along with my husband and 2 dogs, take up my most of my time. I am a side-tracked Home Executive and I had the privilege of being a stay –at-home mom so, you might say that my passion is the home and making a haven for those I love. I am quite skilled at shopping 🙂 and finding a bargain just makes my day.
