This recipe is part of our Back-to-School Meal Plan featuring five easy weeknight dinners made from one grocery bag of ingredients.
These easy, build-your-own fish packets let kids help out with dinner and choose which items they want to include. The herb butter infuses the fish and vegetables with rich flavor and the tomatoes release their juices to create a light sauce. If you are following our Back-to-School Meal Plan, make a double batch of the butter and reserve half for the BBQ Pork Chops with Herb Butter Corn and Sweet Potatoes.

Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.

In this lasagna, soft layers of pasta and béchamel are interspersed with a rich tomato sauce laden with hearty Mediterranean vegetables.
