Sharing is caring!

Special thanks to Ragu for sponsoring this Rustic Kale Cast Iron Lasagna recipe.

Many families love lasagna.  It’s one of the things that’s fairly easy to make and the kids are going to eat it.  You can make it in an afternoon while you’re hanging around the house catching up on laundry or watching football.

However, sometimes plain lasagna gets boring.  And what do you really do to jazz it up?  Add some sausage?  Change it to a white sauce instead of red? How about really changing up your traditional lasagna and making it in a cast iron pan?  Cast iron lasagna?  Are you crazy?  Yes, I may be, but really – give this a try.  Cast iron pans impart a great flavor to foods, and this is so totally unexpected. Cast iron lasagna is perfect for company and it really steals the show.
