I love lasagna. My dad’s epic lasagna featuring Neil’s bolognese sauce is probably one of the best recipes on the blog. But sometimes, I just don’t have the time (or energy) to make it. Recently I’ve discovered a way to get the flavors of lasagna to our table in way less time. Now introducing: stuffed shells.

Whole30. Keto. South Beach. North Beach. Low Carb. Low Sugar. Low Happiness. (Kidding.) It seems that there’s a continual lineup of trendy red carpet diets that swear to improve your overall health and change your life forever. We’ve done Whole30 a few times and did gain some valuable information from doing so, but these days we are a bit hesitant in trying the latest “it” diet. For us, it’s all about balance. Eat healthy, splurge occasionally, drink less, work out regularly. Oh, and don’t forget to drink more water! While we were doing Whole 30, we stumbled upon a few recipes that we still keep in our rotation of meals. This is one of them. I don’t want to claim that this recipe is in fact Whole30 approved or whatnot, because it seems the rules are always changing. I do know this: it’s healthy, it’s flavorful, it’s fast, it’s cheap. What more could you want from a weeknight meal?
