Lasagna Florentine Recipes

Steps:

• In 10-inch skillet, cook beef and onion over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain.
• Stir in hot water, milk, uncooked Pasta and Sauce Mix. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally.
• Reduce heat; cover and simmer about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender. Stir in spinach; sprinkle with cheese. Cover; simmer about 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Pre-cook your lasagna noodles according to the package directions. Set aside.
• Saute onions and mushrooms in the butter until all the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated and the onions have softened.
• Add the flour and cook for 1 minute.
• Add the skim milk and cook over low heat stirring frequently until the sauce has thickened.
• Add salt, pepper, nutmeg and 1/3 cup parmesan cheese.
• Stir until cheese has melted and add chicken breast and spinach. Set aside.
• In a small bowl mix ricotta, 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and egg until well blended.
• Begin to layer the lasagna (I used a deep 9x9 stoneware dish I had, but a 13x9 dish would work as well).
• Spread a small amount of sauce over the bottom of your pan.
• Cover sauce with one layer of pasta.
• Spread 1/2 the ricotta cheese mixture and 1/3 of the remaining mozzarella over the pasta.
• Cover the cheese with 1/3 of the remaining sauce.
• Add another layer of pasta.
• Spread the remaining ricotta mixture and 1/2 the remaining mozzarella over the pasta.
• Cover the cheese with 1/2 of the remaining sauce.
• Add a final layer of pasta.
• Cover the pasta with the remaining sauce and cover the pan with foil.
• You will have some mozzarella and parmesan cheese leftover. Reserve this for later.
• Bake the lasagna at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Uncover the dish and sprinkle the remaining cheeses over the top.
• Return to the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is golden and the lasagna is bubbling around the edges.
• Let the lasagna rest for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two 12-cup standard muffin tins with cooking spray. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook 12 lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon or a pair of tongs to a colander, leaving water to boil. Rinse noodles with cold water and drain again. Lay noodles flat on a large baking sheet.
• Place spinach in boiling pasta water and stir until wilted, about 30 seconds; drain. Squeeze dry and coarsely chop.
• Stir spinach, chicken, 1 cup mozzarella, and 1 1/2 cups Alfredo sauce together in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Stir ricotta cheese, pesto, and salt together in a medium bowl. Spread 3 tablespoons ricotta mixture onto each lasagna noodle. Working one noodle at a time, cut noodle in half lengthwise. Spread 2 tablespoons chicken mixture onto each noodle half. Roll up lengthwise and place cut-side down in the prepared muffin cups.
• Top each lasagna cup with 1 tablespoon Alfredo sauce. Sprinkle tops of lasagna cups evenly with remaining 2 cups mozzarella and Parmesan, making sure any stray strands of cheese are pushed into the muffin cups around the roll-up. Cover muffin tins with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until even more bubbly and cheese is browned, about 10 more minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before removing from muffin tin. Sprinkle with basil and parsley and serve.

• Layer 3 more noodles, half of remaining spinach mixture, and 2/3 cup mozzarella.
• Top with remaining 3 noodles, the rest of the spinach mixture, and the remaining mozzarella.
