Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

9 chicken thighs with skin and bones (about 4 pounds), well trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound chicken andouille sausage or other fully cooked spicy smoked sausage, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
3 medium carrots, peeled, diced
2 large onions, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh marjoram (from about 2 large bunches)
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 cup dry white wine
2 14 1/2-ounce cans diced tomatoes in juice
2 cups low-salt chicken broth
Campanelle Pasta with Parsley Butter

Steps:

  • Place chicken thighs, skin side down, on work surface. Using sharp knife, cut each thigh lengthwise along each side of bone, forming 2 pieces of meat (some meat may remain on bones); reserve bones.
  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken and bones with salt and pepper. Working in batches, sauté in pot until brown, about 6 minutes per batch. Transfer to bowl. Add sausage to pot and sauté until brown, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to bowl with chicken. Add carrots and onions to pot and sauté until onions are tender and golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup marjoram, garlic, lemon peel, and crushed red pepper; sauté 2 minutes. Add wine and boil until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes with juices and broth; bring to boil. Add chicken, bones, sausage, and any accumulated juices from bowl. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 35 minutes.
  • Using slotted spoon, transfer chicken and sausage to bowl; discard bones. Boil liquid in pot until reduced to 3 cups, about 20 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup marjoram. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Return chicken and sausage to pot. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and keep refrigerated. Rewarm over medium heat before serving.) Spoon ragù over Campanelle Pasta with Parsley Butter.

This lasagna has just the right amount of zing to it. The key to this is the andouille sausage...probably not good for anyone counting calories either! The meat mixture would be good served over fettuccine noodles, if you would like to save time

Provided by internetnut

Categories     Meat

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
2 garlic cloves (divided)
1 yellow onion, chopped (divided about 1 cup total)
2 boneless chicken breasts, skinless, cut into bite sized pieces
1 lb mild italian bulk sausage
1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or regular)
2 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning (divided)
9 -12 lasagna noodles (not oven-ready or no-boil)
1 quart heavy whipping cream
3 1/2 cups parmesan cheese, divided
16 ounces ricotta cheese
1 egg
15 ounces mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 - makes 1 13×9″ pan.
  • In a frying pan on medium heat add 1 T Olive Oil. When heated, add 1 clove garlic and half of the chopped onions and cook until translucent (about 2 minutes). Add chicken, bulk sausage, 1 tsp Italian Seasoning, and Paprika. Cook until meat is cooked thoroughly.
  • Meanwhile, cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside in single layer so they don't stick together.
  • In a small bowl combine Ricotta Cheese, egg, and 1 T Italian Seasoning - set aside.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat - use remaining Olive Oil (1T), 1 clove garlic, and remaining onions. Heat until translucent. Add heavy whipping cream. When warmed, add 2-1/2 cups shredded Parmesan. Cook stirring constantly until cheese melts but DO NOT ALLOW TO BOIL - turn the heat down if it gets too warm.
  • Assembly: Put a thin layer of white sauce on the bottom of your 13×9″ pan. Top with enough noodles for a single layer. I use wide-lasagna noodles so it takes 3 to do each layer for a total of 9 noodles.
  • Top the noodles with 1/2 of the Ricotta Cheese mixture.
  • Add 1/2 of the meat.
  • Add 1/3 of the Mozzarella Cheese and sprinkle with scant tsp Italian Seasoning.
  • Repeat and finish with white sauce, reserved Parmesan, Mozzarella, and sprinkle with scant tsp of Italian Seasoning.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. If the top starts to brown too much, cover in foil. Remove from oven and let sit 15 minutes before cutting.
