Supereasylasagna Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Brown meat in large skillet on medium-high heat. Meanwhile, mix 1 1/4 cups mozzarella, ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan, parsley and egg until well blended; set aside.
• Drain meat; return to skillet. Stir in spaghetti sauce. Add 1 cup water to empty sauce jar; cover with lid and shake well. Add to meat mixture; stir until well blended. Spread 1 cup meat sauce onto bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish; top with layers of 3 lasagna noodles, 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture and 1 cup meat sauce. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining noodles, meat sauce and cheeses. Cover with greased foil.
• Bake 1 hour or until heated through, removing foil after 45 min. Let stand 15 min. before cutting to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375*.
• In saucepan, heat spaghetti sauce and water.
• In a medium-sized bowl combine ricotta, 2 cups mozarella cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese and parsley.
• Pour 3/4 cup sauce in a 13 x 9" baking dish.
• Arrange 3 pieces uncooked pasta over sauce.
• Pour 1/2 cup sauce over pasta; spread with half of the mozarella-ricotta cheese mixture.
• Cover cheese mixture with 1/2 cup sauce.
• Repeat layers.
• Top with pasta and remaining sauce.
• Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese.
• Cover baking dish with foil and bake 60 minutes.
• Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozarella cheese.
• Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cover the bottom of a quarter sheet pan with 1 cup of the marinara sauce. Top with 4 of the no-boil noodles. Cover the noodles with half of the ricotta, then sprinkle the ricotta with salt and black pepper. Spoon over half of the pesto and spread it so it is evenly distributed. Arrange 6 slices of mozzarella in a layer on top of the pesto. Mix the sausage crumbles and meatballs together, then spoon half over the mozzarella. Sprinkle with a pinch of garlic powder and red pepper flakes. Repeat the layers once more, ending with the red pepper flakes.
• Add the remaining cup of marinara over the top and sprinkle over the grated Parmesan. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and cook until hot and bubbly, another 10 to 12 minutes.
• Let the lasagna sit for about 10 minutes, then garnish with parsley and serve with crusty bread.

Steps:

• For the meat sauce: In a stockpot or Dutch oven, combine the beef (do not brown first), tomato sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic salt, bay leaves and onion. Add 2 cups water. Mix until combined. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Stir in the vinegar and simmer for another 30 minutes.
• For the lasagna: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and place the dish on a rimmed baking sheet.
• In a medium bowl combine the ricotta, basil, parsley, garlic salt, red pepper flakes, if using, and egg and stir until well blended.
• Spread 2 cups meat sauce across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place 4 noodles over the sauce-it is okay if they overlap slightly. Dollop 2/3 cup of the ricotta mixture on the noodles, then spread it in an even layer. Top the ricotta with 4 slices ham, then 4 slices provolone. Sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella over the provolone. Repeat the layering-sauce, noodles, ricotta, ham, provolone, mozzarella-twice more. Top with another layer of noodles, then the Parmesan and the remaining mozzarella.
• Cover the baking dish tightly with foil. Bake until the dish is bubbling and the noodles are cooked (you can test by poking with a sharp knife to make sure the noodles are soft), about 50 minutes. Remove the foil and return to the oven until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown, another 10 to 15 minutes. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes, then serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the thyme leaves and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sausage and use a wooden spoon to break into very small pieces. Cook until no longer pink, 4-5 minutes. Add the marinara sauce and stir to combine. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until warmed through and the flavors combine. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Season the boiling water generously with salt. Add the lasagna noodles and remaining tablespoon of olive oil and cook for 9-10 minutes, or about 2 minutes less than the package instructions, until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent the noodles from sticking together. Lay the noodles on a baking sheet or cutting board.
• In a large bowl, stir together the ricotta, spinach, ¾ cup mozzarella, ½ cup Parmesan, the basil, parsley, 1½ teaspoons salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
• Spoon about 1 cup of the tomato sauce into the bottom of a large casserole dish and spread evenly.
• Lay a lasagna sheet on a clean surface. Spread about ½ cup of ricotta mixture over the noodle in an even layer, leaving a ½-inch edge on one end. Roll up tightly toward the empty end and place the roll-up in the casserole dish, seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining noodles and filling.
• Spoon about 2 tablespoons of sauce over each roll-up. Sprinkle the remaining ¾ cup mozzarella and remaining ¼ cup Parmesan evenly over the top.
• Bake the lasagna roll-ups for about 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
• Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve.
• Enjoy!
