Yes, its possible to create a side dish with Lasagna at it's center. In fact, this side is a delicious soup. Cassy Joy Garcia, who's the author of the new cookbook Cook Once Dinner Fix stopped by Tonia's Kitchen to talk about her delicious, vegetarian side soup, as part of a larger, multi-course dinner. She starts off by roasting a bunch of roasted tomatoes, then blends them with Lasagna noodles and ricotta cheese, for a flavorful Italian-inspired soup that's not Minestrone! Cassy also told Tonia about a healthy Moroccan-inspired roasted tomato and black rice side that was crafted with an eye toward being very nutritious. Both can be found in the vegetarian section of her book.
