FARMER CHEESE LASAGNA

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pkg lasagna noodles
2 jars of your favorite pasta sauce (or a big batch of homemade - we like ours with garlic and olives)
1 lb Lifeway Farmer Cheese
12 oz shredded mozzarella
1 egg
1 Tbs grated parmesan
A bunch of fresh basil, roughly chopped
Salt & pepper (to taste)
1 clove of fresh garlic, chopped (or a dash of garlic powder, depending on how much garlic you like)

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 and grab a 9" x 11" glass dish. In a small bowl, mix the Farmer Cheese, egg, Parmesan, garlic, basil and salt and pepper together. Pour a layer of sauce in the bottom of the pan and lay 4 lasagna noodles down, overlapping them slightly. There's no need to boil them first, they'll soften up when you bake them. On top of that, layer more sauce, some mozzarella and the Farmer Cheese mixture. Make it easy on yourself by loading up a zip-top plastic bag with the cheese mixture and cutting off one corner - then squeeze it on without spreading it and making a mess. Continue layering the pasta, sauce, mozzarella and Farmer Cheese until the pan is full. Don't add any cheese to the top layer, just top it off with a good amount of sauce. The liquid from the sauce will help soften the noodles, so be generous. You'll probably end up using 1.5 jars. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for 15 more minutes. You can top it with more Parmesan or basil, or leave it as is. You can also add a layer or two of browned ground beef if you like, or Italian-style seitan crumbles if you're a vegetarian.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the lasagna will taste. Use fresh, flavorful cheese, vegetables, and sauce.
  • Don't overcook the noodles: Al dente noodles will hold their shape and texture better in the lasagna.
  • Layer the lasagna properly: Start with a layer of sauce, then noodles, then cheese, and so on. Repeat the layers until the lasagna is assembled.
  • Bake the lasagna until it is bubbly and golden brown: This usually takes about 30 minutes.
  • Let the lasagna rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set.
  • Serve the lasagna with a side of fresh bread or salad: This will help to round out the meal.

Conclusion:

Farmer cheese lasagna is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover cheese and vegetables, and it can be easily customized to suit your own taste preferences. Whether you are a fan of traditional lasagna or are looking for something new and exciting, farmer cheese lasagna is definitely worth a try.
