About

My dear friend Silvianne has been a vegetarian her entire life. She admits to being in her fifties and has never tasted meat, fish or chicken! Whenever Silvianne and her husband were invited to dinner I made something special befitting her dietary requirements and named every dish after her; hence the name Lasagna Silvia. But the uniqueness of this lasagna does not end there! The ‘lasagna noodles’ are actually strips of thinly sliced zucchini and tomato sauce has been replaced with Pacific Natural Foods Organic Creamy Tomato Soup.
The delicate flavors of lightly sautéed portabella mushrooms, zucchini noodles and chopped spinach are complimented and enhanced by the refined natural flavor of the Creamy Tomato Soup. Together they create a little bit of heaven called Lasagna Silvia.
