Howcast video on healthy meals on a budget

A friend passed this on to me and I thought I'd share it.

Spasagne

I thought this was such a fun word to say that I would blog it. My friend made lasagna yesterday, but he made it with spaghetti noodles instead, so we called it spasagne.

I am going to try and make a cheap and healthy recipe for this, but until then, I believe this is how he made it. I can't give exact amounts.

ground beef, cooked
bacon, diced and cooked
spaghetti sauce
spaghetti noodles
ricotta
mozzarella cheese

Cook the spaghetti noodles, but take them out when they're just slightly under done. Then layer the noodles, sauce, ricotta, and beef. Top it with the mozzarella and bacon. Bake it till the cheese is bubbly.

Mmmmmm

When I test out a cheap version, I'll re-post with amounts. It probably won't have meat.
