Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h5m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 pounds lean ground beef
One 16-ounce can tomato sauce
One 6-ounce can tomato paste
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic salt
2 bay leaves
1 medium yellow onion, grated
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
1 pound ricotta
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic salt
Pinch red pepper flakes, optional
1 large egg
One 9-ounce package no-boil lasagna noodles (16 noodles)
12 slices boiled ham (about 1/2 pound)
12 slices provolone (about 3/4 pound)
1 1/2 pounds low-moisture mozzarella, grated (I like Polly-O; 5 to 6 cups)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

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.

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Pasta, Supper

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

70g butter
70g plain flour
1l whole milk
1 bay leaf
80g grated parmesan or gruyère
2 tsp Dijon mustard
pinch of cayenne pepper
600g spinach
250g ricotta
1 whole nutmeg , for grating
300g ham hock , shredded, or thick-cut ham, chopped
12 dried lasagne sheets
50g grated mozzarella

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a pan until foaming, then stir in the flour to make a paste. Cook for 2 mins. Remove from the heat and gradually whisk in the milk. Add the bay leaf, return to the heat, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 4-5 mins, whisking continuously until thickened. Remove from the heat and whisk in 50g parmesan, the mustard and cayenne pepper. Season to taste.
  • Put the spinach in a large pan with 50ml boiling water, cover and leave for 2-3 mins to wilt. Drain and leave to cool. Put the spinach in a clean tea towel and squeeze out any excess water. Transfer to a food processor and pulse to roughly chop, then add the ricotta and pulse again to combine. Grate in some nutmeg, then season.
  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Remove the bay leaf from the sauce, then spoon a quarter into the bottom of a 24 x 28cm baking dish. Top with a third of the ricotta and spinach mixture, a third of the ham, then 4 lasagne sheets (overlap them slightly if needed).

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh vegetables, herbs, and cheese will give your lasagna the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked noodles will be mushy and won't hold up well in the lasagna.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of different cheeses will give your lasagna a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Don't skimp on the sauce. A good, flavorful sauce is essential for a great lasagna. Use a sauce that you like and that has a lot of flavor.
  • Layer the lasagna properly. Start with a layer of sauce, then add a layer of noodles, then a layer of cheese, and so on. Repeat this process until you have used up all of the ingredients.
  • Bake the lasagna until it is golden brown and bubbly. This will take about 30 minutes in a 375°F oven.
  • Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the lasagna hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Ham and cheese lasagna is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a delicious and hearty meal that is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning and effort, you can make a ham and cheese lasagna that is both delicious and impressive.
