Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 pound sweet Italian sausage
1 pound lean ground beef
1 large white onion (diced)
5 cloves garlic (minced)
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 cup white wine
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon ground oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 pound lasagna noodles
30 ounces ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pound thinly sliced mozzarella cheese (about 24 slices)
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a large pot over medium heat, add in ground sausage and ground beef. Use a spoon to break up the meat into small pieces. Add in onion and garlic and cook until meat is well browned, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar, fresh basil, fennel, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup chopped parsley. Pour in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and wine*. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer 1-4 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, place lasagna noodles into the bottom of a pan. Pour hot tap water directly over the noodles, making sure the pasta is completely immersed in the water. Let them soak for 30 minutes, then drain and discard water.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg, remaining 2 tablespoons parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and nutmeg. Refrigerate until ready to assemble lasagna.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a deep 9x13 pan.
  • To assemble, spread about 1 cup of meat sauce in the bottom of the prepared pan. Place 4 noodles on top. Spread with 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with 1/4 of mozzarella cheese slices. Spoon 1 1/2 cups meat sauce over mozzarella, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Repeat layering two more times to create three complete layers. To finish, place a final layer of pasta, topped with another 1 cup of meat sauce to cover the pasta. Top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover loosely with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes to allow cheese to brown. Serve hot.

DECONSTRUCTED LASAGNA



Deconstructed Lasagna image

In this case, "deconstructed" is really just a trendy way of saying easy! Instead of taking the time to layer the pasta, sauce, and several kinds of cheeses, I toss everything together to make a lasagna bowl that satisfies, with all of the same, indulgent components but far fewer calories and effort. Fresh marjoram has a minty, oregano-like flavor that is a nice change of pace from basil or dried Italian herbs-but really, any kind of fresh herb is delicious in tomato sauce, so use what's handy.

Time 50m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces lasagna noodles, broken into smaller pieces
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, halved and very finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, very finely chopped or pressed through a garlic press
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh marjoram
Pinch of red pepper flakes
1/2 pound lean ground beef
2 cups canned whole tomatoes, chopped (or canned chopped tomatoes)
1/2 cup quartered bocconcini (mozzarella balls) or 1/2-inch pieces of fresh mozzarella
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain in a colander and set aside.
  • To a large, deep skillet or pot set over medium heat add the olive oil, onion, garlic, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and the black pepper, and cook until the onion is soft and sticky, -stirring often, for 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the marjoram and red pepper flakes, and once they are fragrant, after 30 seconds, stir in the beef, using a wooden spoon to break it into small pieces. Cook, stirring often, until the beef is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes and remaining 1 teaspoon salt, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer the sauce until it reduces slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Divide half of the cooked lasagna noodles among 4 bowls. Top each with some mozzarella and sauce, then divide the remaining noodles over the top. Add some more mozzarella and sauce, and serve sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.

Ultimate No-Fail Lasagna image

I love this lasagna recipe because it never fails me, even though I'm a rookie cook! This is so easy to make and it makes tons so I always freeze half and eat it for a month! If you want to make a small pan, divide the recipe in half and it'll still turn out great! *Edited to add: This can be made without the eggs! The cheese mixture will still be delicious without the egg.
