BBQ Lasagna

Before my brothers return from India, they talked about how the country was suffering a drought which led to a shortage of staples. Indians used potatoes, which do not require much attention to grow, to replace the nutrients they got from rice. The guys told me that their household cook was not familiar with how to cook potatoes, and how tired they were from eating potatoes. Since people there are not big beef eaters, they requested hearty, meaty lasagna upon their return. Trying to pleased them, and at the same time trying to maintain a Texas style welcome back dinner, I decided to make a boneless rib BBQ lasagna. With this economy, I know it is hard to splurge on a single dinner, even a special one.With $30 in my pocket, I drove my red electric moped to the local supermarket and purchase the following ingredients:

1 package of lasagna noodles (the big one.)
2 package of boneless ribs (marked down, just check the use by date.)
1 small Ricotta cheese (cheap one, don't go for the expensive one.)
1 package of Mozzarella cheese (store brand, you don't necessary need the expensive one.)
1 bottle of KC Masterpiece Mesquite barbecue sauce
1 buch of fresh spinach
1 zucchini squash

You must be thinking zucchini and spinach in a BBQ dish? Ew! But wait, don't juged me yet, in my household, I not only have meat eaters, but also dear ones who appreciate vegetables; so I figure, since I am experimenting in the first place, why not? The first thing I did was cook the noodles until right before they were al dente, drain them and set aside. Cut 1/4" slices of the boneless ribs, cook them with salt and pepper. Place the noodles in a 9"X13" lasagna pan. In the bottom layer I pour some pasta sauce that I had in the kitchen cabinet, followed by the washed spinach, 1/4" round cut zucchini, and about half a package of Mozzarella cheese. Next, place the second layer of pasta and start with 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce, spreding it evenly. Then, arrange half of the previously cooked boneless ribs and some Ricotta chesse. Add the third layer of noodles, another 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce, the rest of the ribs, Ricotta, and the rest of the Mozzarella cheese. Cover with foil paper and cook it in the over at 350 F for 30 minutes. Served it hot with a fresh salad and enjoy a full dinner!

I did not spend all the money that I carried with me; I had left over for the next day and some of the ingredients were left to use for another dish. Remain curious my friends!
