I’ve seen this Honeycomb Lasagna trending all over the place and I finally decided it was high time for me to make my own iteration of it. So, this version of the famous Honeycomb Lasagna is healthified. So what’s Honeycomb Lasagna? Well it’s basically cooked rigatoni that’s stuffed with mozzarella, stood on end in sauce, topped with sauce and cheese and baked into a really neat looking honey comb shape. The noodles are stuffed with cheesy goodness and the sauce is full of flavor.

The very first thing I did was to make and use my own meat sauce. And this one right here has to be my favorite. Now, I know the sauce takes a lot of time but I promise that it’s worth it. BUT. You can really use whatever spaghetti sauce that you want, meat sauce or just standard spaghetti sauce.

I liked the meat sauce here because it gave the noodles something hefty to stand upright in. And making the sauce myself means that I got to reduce it down to be as thick and full of flavor as I wanted it.

So there you have it, a fun new way to have ‘lasagna’ for you and the kiddos!
