CAJUN LASAGNA

I’ve decided to prepare dinner my scrumptious Cajun Lasagna that’s not only perfect for Sunday dinner, it also makes the perfect leftovers for lunch all through the week!

I cooked up a large batch of my favourite ragu sauce which includes ground turkey and andouille sausage.

Yes, we need two meats to make this massive and awful!

Next, at the same time as the sauce simmered I made up a cheesy combination of eggs, ricotta cheese, sharp, jack, mozzarella, and parmigiano reggiano cheeses.
