No Noodle Lasagna Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a deep 9x13 inch baking pan.
• Slice zucchini lengthwise into very thin slices. Sprinkle slices lightly with salt; set aside to drain in a colander.
• To prepare the meat sauce, cook and stir ground beef and black pepper in a large skillet over medium high heat for 5 minutes. Add in green pepper and onion; cook and stir until meat is no longer pink. Stir in tomato paste, tomato sauce, wine, basil, and oregano, adding a small amount of hot water if sauce is too thick. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer sauce for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Meanwhile, stir egg, ricotta, and parsley together in a bowl until well combined.
• To assemble lasagna, spread 1/2 of the meat sauce into the bottom of prepared pan. Then layer 1/2 the zucchini slices, 1/2 the ricotta mixture, all of the spinach, followed by all of the mushrooms, then 1/2 the mozzarella cheese. Repeat by layering the remaining meat sauce, zucchini slices, ricotta mixture, and mozzarella. Spread Parmesan cheese evenly over the top; cover with foil.
• Bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil; raise oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake an additional 15 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• First do all your slicing. Slice your mushrooms, squash and zucchini in thin strips lengthwise. Be sure to wash all veggies in cool water after slicing to help them stay moist while you work.
• Preheat oven to 475°F.
• Over medium high heat, sauté sausage with 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil.
• Once most of the meat is done, add all the mushrooms to the pan and cook only until meat is done. Do not over cook or your mushrooms will over cook! (This is important because you'll need some juice still in your mushrooms for lasagna since we are not using a lot of sauce).
• Mix all your cream ingredients together in a food processor or blender, whichever you choose, until it is smooth. Set to the side and begin assembling.
• Lightly grease a casserole dish with olive oil and sprinkle 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese on the bottom of dish. This will make a nice crust on the bottom. Begin to layer your squash along the pan and be sure to cover the bottom as well as possible. There will be a little space between, but don't worry about it.
• Spoon out half your meat and mushroom mixture on top of squash. Now spread half your cream mixture on top of meat and mushrooms. Then sprinkle half your bag of shredded cheese on top of that layer. Repeat all this steps again for your second layer.
• Wrap the dish in foil and place in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove from oven after 45 minutes and remove foil. Lasagna will be a little loose because squash and zucchini render a lot of juice. Place in oven for another 15 minutes uncovered. After 15 minutes remove from oven and allow at least 20 minutes for it to cool and firm up. This takes less time than you think, but even the cooking and cooling time is well worth the wait!
• After it cools and some of the liquid is gone sprinkle with some fresh or dry herbs, slice and enjoy! (I didn't use salt because I find the the sausage is plenty).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Lay several paper towels next to the stove; as you cook the veggies, transfer them to the paper towels to drain excess moisture.
• Bring a very large grill pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Add zucchini, portabella mushroom, and eggplant, and cook until softened, about 2 minutes per side. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine crushed tomatoes with garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix well and set aside.
• In another large bowl, combine spinach, egg substitute, ricotta cheese, basil, salt, and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
• Evenly coat the bottom of an 8-inch by 8-inch pan with about half of the seasoned crushed tomatoes. Evenly layer half of the sliced veggies over the tomatoes. Spread half of the spinach mixture into an even layer over the veggies. Top evenly with soy crumbles.
• Evenly layer remaining veggies into the pan, placing them perpendicular to the first layer, followed by the remaining spinach mixture. Evenly cover with remaining seasoned crushed tomatoes. Evenly distribute mozzarella cheese and grated topping over the crushed tomatoes.
• Bake in the oven until lasagna is hot and mozzarella cheese is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
• Allow to cool slightly, cut into quarters, and enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large, wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 6 minutes. Add the Marinara and 3 1/2 cups water and bring to a boil. Add the pasta, then partially cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the sauce is coating it nicely, about 16 minutes. Stir in the mozzarella and ricotta, then sprinkle with the Parmesan and basil, and serve.
• Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until it just turns golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, Italian seasoning, basil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of fresh pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes. Take off the heat and stir in the butter until melted. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

In a small bowl, combine the egg, cottage cheese and Parmesan cheese., Roll out each tube of crescent dough between waxed paper into a 15x10-in. rectangle.
