LOAF PAN LASAGNA



Loaf Pan Lasagna image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 3 loaf pan lasagnas (2 servings each)

Number Of Ingredients 17

Kosher salt
18 lasagna noodles
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds bulk Italian sausage
1 pound ground beef
3 cloves garlic, minced
One 6-ounce can tomato paste
Two 14.5-ounce cans whole tomatoes
1 tablespoon dried basil
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
1 1/2 cups ricotta
2 large eggs beaten
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
18 slices mozzarella
Ciabatta or baguette slices, for serving
Halved cherry tomatoes tossed with chopped fresh basil, for serving

Steps:

  • Cover a baking sheet with plastic wrap.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add some salt. Cook the lasagna noodles until al dente, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain, then lay out flat on the wrapped baking sheet until ready to assemble.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet or saucepan set over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, beef and garlic and cook until the meat is browned completely, about 5 minutes. Drain off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat (if needed), add the tomato paste and fry for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and crush with a spoon. Add the basil, 1 tablespoon of the parsley and 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, add the cottage cheese, ricotta, beaten eggs, 1/2 cup of the grated Parmesan, 2 teaspoons salt and remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and mix together well. Set aside.
  • Before or during assembly, cut or tear the lasagna sheets in half crosswise.
  • To assemble each loaf pan: Add just enough meat sauce (about 1/4 cup) to cover the bottom of each of three 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-by-2 1/2-inch aluminum foil loaf pans. Layer 4 half lasagna sheets, overlapping, over the sauce on each. Top with 1/2 cup of the cottage cheese mixture, spread evenly. Top with 3 slices mozzarella, then 1/2 cup meat sauce, then 4 half lasagna sheets, overlapping. Top with 1/2 cup cottage cheese mixture, spread evenly, 3 slices mozzarella and 1/2 cup meat sauce. Finish with 4 half lasagna sheets, overlapping, 1/2 cup meat sauce and 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan. The lasagnas can be baked right away, covered in foil and refrigerated for up to 2 days or wrapped in foil and frozen.
  • If baking right away, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put the loaf pan on a baking sheet and bake until hot and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Serve with a couple of slices of ciabatta or baguette and cherry tomatoes tossed in basil.
  • If baking from frozen, put the loaf pan on a baking sheet, cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour. Uncover and bake until hot and bubbly, an additional 20 to 25 minutes.

FRYING PAN LASAGNA



Frying Pan Lasagna image

I think this is one of the first things I ever cooked! I make this in my electric frying pan, but you can do it stovetop if you have a big enough covered frying pan. Since it's made with egg noodles, it's not a traditional style lasagna, but it is much easier to throw together. Just brown the beef and layer. Don't mind all the steps - you are just layering.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb lean ground beef
1 tablespoon butter
1 ounce spaghetti sauce mix (whatever size they come in)
1 lb cream-style cottage cheese (full-fat is best)
3 cups broad egg noodles, uncooked
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1 small bay leaf, crushed
28 ounces tomatoes
5 1/2 ounces tomato paste (small can)
1 cup water
12 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut in slices (I use a mozarella ball)

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a heavy frying pan (or electric skillet). Brown the ground beef, breaking it up with a fork and spreading over the pan.
  • Sprinkle with half the dry spaghetti sauce mix.
  • Spoon on the cottage cheese.
  • Top with the noodles.
  • Sprinkle with remaining sauce mix, salt, oregano, basil & bay leaf.
  • Combine the tomatoes, paste and water & pour over.
  • Bring to a boil, lower heat, cover and simmer until noodles are tender - about 40 minutes. You may need to add a bit more water as needed during cooking (this seems to happen more when you make it stovetop).
  • Top with strips of mozarella cheese, let soften & serve.

There have been so many nights when I craved lasagna but didn't want to get stuck with the usual leftovers. If you've felt the same way, this small-batch version solves all your problems! It's easy enough to throw together on a weeknight and is the perfect size for two (or three) servings.

Provided by Gabriela Rodiles

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 small yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
1 clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt and saute until the onion is translucent and softened, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Add the ground beef and use a wooden spoon to break it into pieces. Cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the oregano and cook 1 minute. Stir in the marinara and let simmer while you make the ricotta mixture.
  • Lightly beat the egg in a medium bowl. Stir in the ricotta, parsley, basil, 1/2 cup mozzarella and 1/2 cup Parmesan until combined.
  • Begin to layer the lasagna, spread 2 tablespoons marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan. Cover with 1 lasagna noodle. Spread on 1/3 cup of the ricotta mixture followed by 1/2 cup marinara sauce. Top with another noodle. Repeat layering 4 more times, ending with the sauce. Top the final layer with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella and 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Bake until the noodles are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

LASAGNA IN A SKILLET - IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES!



Lasagna in a Skillet - in About 30 Minutes! image

What I love about this recipe, is that it's possible to have lasagna within approx. 30 minutes and only have one pan to wash! It's an easy weeknight recipe to prepare. Comfort food with ease. :) This is an adaption from Cook's Illustrated. *Note: I use preshredded cheeses for quick prep. The 30 minute time is what the original recipe states, and the time it takes me to prepare - however, the time is an approximation and may take a bit longer. Enjoy!

CHEF JOHN'S LASAGNA



Chef John's Lasagna image

There are only two things you need for great lasagna: a thick, rich, super-meaty meat sauce and lots of it, and a ricotta filling where only the finest cheeses are welcomed. For the sauce, I love a combination of half Italian sausage and half lean ground beef. I also like lots of sauce.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 3h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 pound bulk Italian sausage
1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
1 (8 ounce) package fresh mushrooms, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
6 cups prepared marinara sauce
2 tablespoons water, plus more as needed
2 eggs
2 pounds whole-milk ricotta cheese
1 (8 ounce) container fresh mozzarella cheese, diced
⅔ cup freshly shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 (16 ounce) package lasagna noodles
1 (8 ounce) container fresh mozzarella cheese, diced
½ cup freshly shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Place sausage and ground beef into a large saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until meat is browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Break the meat apart as it cooks. Stir in mushrooms, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, Italian herb seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Turn heat to medium-high and cook until mushrooms have given off their juices and bottom of pan is almost dry.
  • Pour prepared marinara sauce into meat mixture. Pour water into marinara sauce jar and shake to get all the sauce out of the jar; add to mixture. Reduce heat to low and simmer until meat is extremely tender, about 2 hours. Add a little more water if sauce becomes too thick. Skim excess fat from surface of the sauce and season with more salt and black pepper, if needed. Turn off heat.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Beat eggs in a large bowl and stir in ricotta cheese, 8 ounces diced mozzarella cheese, and 2/3 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Season cheese mixture with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and cayenne pepper; mix in parsley.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse noodles and set aside in a bowl of cold water.
  • Spread 1/4 the sauce into the bottom of a 10x15-inch baking pan. Top with 1/3 the noodles and spread 1/2 the ricotta cheese mixture over noodles. Spread 1/4 the meat sauce over the cheese, top with 1/3 the noodles, and spread remaining 1/2 the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Spread 1/4 the meat sauce over the cheese filling. Tap the casserole dish lightly on a sturdy work surface to settle the layers. Arrange last 1/3 the noodles over sauce and spread remaining 1/4 the sauce over the noodles. Dot top of the casserole with 4 ounces diced fresh mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
  • Cover casserole with aluminum foil, being sure not to touch the top of the casserole with the foil. Place casserole onto a baking sheet to catch spills.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and cook until lasagna is golden brown and bubbling, 30 to 35 more minutes. Let set for 20 minutes before cutting into squares.

DEEP FRIED LASAGNA RECIPE BY TASTY



Deep Fried Lasagna Recipe by Tasty image

As if you needed another reason to love lasagna! For an indulgent twist on this Italian comfort food, slice, freeze, batter and fry it until golden brown. Serve immediately with marinara dipping sauce for a crowd-pleasing appetizer.

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Appetizers

Time 4h22m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 classic lasagna, chilled overnight
6 cups vegetable oil, for frying
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 large eggs, beaten
2 cups italian breadcrumbs
1 cup marinara sauce, warmed, for sering

Steps:

  • Set a wire rack inside a baking sheet.
  • Cut the chilled lasagna into 12 equal pieces, then cut the pieces into 4 triangles, for a total of 48 pieces. Set the triangles on the wire rack and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 4 hours, until solid.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot fitted with a deep fry thermometer over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
  • Add the flour, eggs, and bread crumbs to 3 separate shallow bowls.
  • Remove the lasagna triangles from the freezer and dredge in the flour, then the eggs, then the bread crumbs.
  • Working in batches, fry the lasagna triangles in the hot oil for approximately 1 minute, until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain and let cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Serve the lasagna bites warm with marinara sauce alongside.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet: This will ensure that you have enough space to cook the lasagna properly and prevent it from sticking.
  • Preheat the skillet over medium heat: This will help to prevent the lasagna from sticking and burning.
  • Add a layer of sauce to the bottom of the skillet: This will help to prevent the lasagna from sticking and will also add flavor.
  • Layer the lasagna ingredients in the skillet: Start with a layer of noodles, then a layer of sauce, then a layer of cheese. Repeat these layers until you have used up all of the ingredients.
  • Cover the skillet and cook the lasagna for 20-30 minutes: Check the lasagna periodically to make sure that it is cooking evenly and that the cheese is melted.
  • Serve the lasagna immediately: Once the lasagna is cooked, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to prevent the lasagna from falling apart.
