Italian Sausage, Spinach & Mushroom Lasagna in a creamy Parmigiano Reggiano Cream Sauce baked in Chinet disposable bakeware.
A couple of weeks ago, Chinet® contacted me to see if I would be interested in reviewing one of their new products...a disposable bakeware line called Chinet Bakeware®.
I was THRILLED to say the least because I am already a HUGE fan of Chinet® paper products and only buy their plates when serving on disposable dishes for parties, especially because I owned light colored couches!
The day they arrived I was so excited. I opened the box to find one set of each size along with wonderful packaging, clear instructions, neutral green colors and sturdy disposable bakeware with lids.
They were beautiful and are perfect to take along to a party without having to worry about getting your dish back! I couldn't wait to get started to see how this paper product was going to hold up in an oven so I decided to make a lasagna for dinner.
How do you make Sausage, Spinach and Mushroom Lasagna?
I didn't have any marinara sauce in the freezer so I opted to make a cream sauce. I didn't want all of the added calories of heavy cream, especially since I was using sausage, so I used 2% milk, then thickened it up with a roux.
As for the cheese, I used shredded (since hubby went shopping and couldn't resist the block of fresh grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese), but you can use grated as well.
The lasagna was incredible, but very rich and had a robust flavor so a small piece with a tossed salad was perfect for dinner.
About Chinet Bakeware
Here is a little information about the bakeware directly from their website. Introducing Chinet Bakeware® baking pans.
The first disposable baking dishes that let you take your food from oven to table to freezer to microwave, all in one attractive, non-stick pan.
And because it's from the Chinet brand, strength and stability are built in. Bakeware is designed to be sturdy and dependable no matter what you've got cooked up.
Not only does it look good, but you can leave it behind without worrying about losing your favorite permanent pan. Made in the USA of 90% recycled material, Chinet Bakeware is finally an idea in disposable bakeware that isn't half-baked."
They come in four convenient sizes in sets of two including the pan and clear plastic lids: Square 8"x8", Rectangular 9"x13", Oval 7"x11" and Oval 7 ¼" x 9 ¼" (just don't put the lid in the oven!)

Zowie, what a great idea! I love Chinet paper plates too because of the sturdiness. Our church does a lot of potlucks, so these would be PERFECT!!! For the 8x8 dish I would make lemon bars, always a hit. For the larger pans, I would make my chicken enchilada or a tater tot casserole. These pan will also be great for taking dinners for my homebound friends. I can't wait for the to hit the market. Thanks for sharing. ~patti - psm2ram@yahoo.com
