  • 2 cups white mushrooms sliced, (227g) $1.88
  • 1 cup red onion diced, (150g) $1.07
  • 1 Tbsp garlic minced, $0.24
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper $0.05
  • 1 6 oz can tomato paste $0.86
  • ¼ cup vodka 2 oz, $0.99*
  • 1 cup heavy cream 8 oz, $1.68
  • 2 cups water 16 oz $0.00
  • 8 lasagna noodles broken up, $0.87
  • 1 ¼ tsp salt divided, $0.05
  • 1 cup cottage cheese 240g, $0.98
  • ¼ cup chopped frozen spinach thawed and squeezed from excess moisture (30g) $0.12
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder $0.02
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded, (113g) $0.99

Instructions

  • Gather and prep ingredients.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, red onion, garlic, and crushed red pepper to skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft.
  • Add tomato paste into the skillet, stirring well for 1-2 minutes.
  • Deglaze by adding vodka, stirring until all is absorbed into the mixture.
  • Slowly stir in heavy cream, and add water, pasta, and 1 tsp of salt to the skillet. Cover skillet with a lid and simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring pasta periodically to check for sticking.**
  • While pasta is cooking, combine cottage cheese, spinach, garlic powder, and ¼ tsp of salt in a bowl.
  • When pasta is al dente or to desired doneness, top with dollops of the cheese and spinach mixture and top with shredded mozzarella. Cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt for 1-2 minutes.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes, and dig in!

Notes

*You can use equal parts chicken or vegetable broth in place of the vodka. Water with a squeeze of lemon (to add a slight acidity that you'd miss out on by replacing the vodka) will also work.
**If the sauce becomes too thick and the pasta sticks while cooking, add about a 1/2 cup of water.
