POTATOES LIKE LASAGNA



Potatoes Like Lasagna image

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 large potatoes, peeled and sliced lengthwise
2 cups marinara sauce
2 large eggs
15 ounces ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound mozzarella
1 (3 to 4) pound pumpkin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 cups crumbled cornbread
2 cups toasted bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
10 saltine crackers
2 cups vegetable stock
3 celery stalks, diced
1 medium onion, diced
2 large eggs
1/2 stick butter
1 teaspoon dried sage
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease and flour a 13 by 9-inch baking dish. Place a layer of potato slices on the bottom of the dish and cover it with approximately 1/4 cup of sauce. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the ricotta and Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper. Pour about half of the cheese mixture on top of the potatoes and sauce and place a layer of mozzarella on top of that. Continue layering the potatoes, sauce, cheese mixture, and mozzarella until all the ingredients are used up - you should end with a top layer of mozzarella cheese. Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes. The bottom layer of potatoes will be soft and the top layer will be a bit firmer. If you prefer a softer top layer, bake an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or cover during the initial baking, uncovering the last 10 minutes to brown the top.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut stem section from the pumpkin and remove seeds. Sprinkle inside with salt and cinnamon.
  • Place hollowed pumpkin on a baking sheet in oven and roast for 20 minutes. Remove and fill with cornbread dressing (recipe follows) leaving 1 to 2 inches at the top for expansion. Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees. Place stuffed pumpkin in oven and bake for another 35 to 40 minutes or until pumpkin is tender, dressing is set and nicely browned on top.
  • Combine cornbread, toasted bread and crackers in mixing bowl. Pour stock into saucepan and add celery and onion. Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes, allow to cool. Add stock mixture to bread crumb mixture with beaten eggs, butter, sage, salt and pepper.

SWEET POTATO LASAGNA



Sweet Potato Lasagna image

Sweet potatoes sub in for lasagna noodles in this twist on the classic, while spinach adds a pop of color (and plenty of nutrition). The result is a hearty and satisfying main dish that just happens to be vegetarian and gluten-free too!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
One 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
Two 10-ounce boxes frozen chopped spinach, defrosted
1 pound mozzarella, grated
2 pounds ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 pounds sweet potatoes (about 3 large)

Steps:

  • For the tomato sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and mash into a chunky puree using a potato masher. Bring to a simmer and partially cover the pan with a lid. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat.
  • For the lasagna: While the sauce is cooking, drain the water from the spinach, place in a clean kitchen towel and wring well to remove any excess water. Break up the spinach into a large bowl. Set aside 1 cup of the mozzarella, then add the remaining mozzarella to the bowl with the spinach. Add the ricotta, Parmesan, nutmeg, eggs, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and mix with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until well combined.
  • Peel the sweet potatoes and trim a small bit from one of the longer ends on each so they will sit flat and not roll. Cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch planks.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • To assemble the lasagna: Add about 3/4 cup of sauce to the bottom of a deep 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Place a single layer of sweet potato slices along the bottom. Top with one-quarter of the ricotta and spinach mixture and use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to spread gently into an even layer. Dollop about 3/4 cup of sauce on top of the ricotta mixture. Top with another layer of sweet potato slices facing the opposite direction from the previous layer. Repeat with ricotta mixture and sauce until you have 4 layers, ending with the remaining sauce.
  • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil, top with the reserved mozzarella and bake until the lasagna is bubbling, the mozzarella is starting to brown and the sweet potatoes are tender when a paring knife is inserted into the center, an additional 45 to 60 minutes. Let sit for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

POTATO LASAGNA WITH WILD MUSHROOMS AND HERB SAUCE



Potato Lasagna With Wild Mushrooms And Herb Sauce image

Provided by Linda Wells

Categories     dinner, project, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 large Idaho potatoes of equal size
8 ounces unsalted butter
3 ounces shiitake mushrooms (see note)
3 ounces oyster mushrooms (see note)
3 ounces white mushrooms
3 ounces chanterelles (optional)
1 large shallot
1/2 bunch parsley
Half a bunch, or 8 ounces, celery, diced
2 ounces leek, diced
1 ounce shallots, diced
1 ounce onions, diced
1 ounce butter
1 cup dry white wine
1 clove garlic
1 branch fresh thyme
Juice of 1/2 lemon
8 ounces butter
1 ounce diced tomatoes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
  • Peel and cut the potatoes into rectangular shapes, about 3 by 1 1/2 inches.
  • Using a mandoline, a vegetable slicer or a sharp kitchen knife, slice each potato rectangle into 5 slices.
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and brush the parchment with the melted butter. Spread out the potato slices on a cookie sheet. Butter another piece of parchment paper and place, buttered side down, on the potatoes. Cook in the oven until the potatoes are soft, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Chop all the mushrooms. Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a saute pan and add the mushrooms. Cook over medium-low heat until they are soft. Add the finely chopped shallots and cook for 2 minutes more, or until the shallots are translucent.
  • In a medium-sized saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the diced celery, leeks, shallots and onion. Saute for about 5 minutes. Add the wine and, over high heat, reduce the liquid until it almost totally evaporates. Add 1 cup of water, the garlic, thyme and lemon juice and reduce it by a fourth. There should be 6 ounces of liquid. Strain through a sieve, pressing on the vegetables to release the juices. While the liquid is hot, pour it into a blender. Whir the liquid, adding 8 ounces of butter tablespoon by tablespoon. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the broth back into the pan and stir in the chopped parsley and diced tomatoes.
  • To serve, alternate slices of potato with mushrooms. Spoon the celery sauce over the potatoes and serve.
