A family friendly dinner that will please everyone at the table. Lasagna has been made over using pork & chicken sausage; part skim cheeses, 100% whole wheat lasagne noodles and broccoli rabe. Sneaking in the broccoli raab provides your family with antioxidant-rich vitamins A & C , Folate , potassium, fiber and calicium which can help fight off damage to your cells; protects against birth defects & heart disease. The latest news with broccoli rabe is its cancer-preventing potential because of its rich source of glucosinolates, which your body converts to cancer-fighting sulforophanes.
