Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Kosher salt
10 dry lasagna noodles
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking sheets
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
8 ounces ground beef
8 ounces bulk spicy breakfast sausage
One 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup cottage cheese
1/3 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella

Steps:

  • For the chips: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in the noodles and cook them according to the package instructions for al dente, typically about 8 minutes. Drain the noodles in a colander and transfer the cooked noodles to a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
  • Once cool, move the noodles to a cutting board and cut them into chips. To do this, cut a noodle in half shortways to make 2 pieces. Cut each of the 2 pieces in half shortways again to create 4 rectangles. Cut each rectangle diagonally to create 8 triangles. Repeat with the remaining noodles.
  • Place the noodle pieces in a bowl and toss with the Parmesan, olive oil and oregano.
  • Arrange the noodles on 2 baking sheets coated with cooking spray, making sure the noodles are in a single layer and not touching one another. Bake until crisp and golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Set aside.
  • For the dip: Raise the temperature of the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the beef and sausage until browned, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste and garlic to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Lower the heat and cook on low for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld and the sauce reduce slightly.
  • Meanwhile, mix the cottage cheese, ricotta, Parmesan and all but a pinch each of the basil and parsley in a medium bowl. Set the remaining herbs aside for garnishing the dip.
  • Spread half of the meat and sauce over the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish. Using a spoon, dollop half of the cottage cheese mixture over the sauce. Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella. Repeat with the remaining meat and sauce, cottage cheese mixture and mozzarella.
  • Bake until the mozzarella is fully melted and the dip is bubbly, 15 to 17 minutes. Serve hot in the casserole dish with the lasagna chips on the side. Garnish with the remaining basil and parsley.

Number Of Ingredients 20

LASAGNA SAUCE:
1/2 pound ground turkey
1 cup lasagna tomato sauce (see below)
1 cup low fat cottage cheese or ricotta or cream cheese
1 cup partially skim mozzarella, shredded
Option: Use ground beef or Italian sausage instead of ground turkey or omit the meat entirely.
Option: Use marinara sauce or your favorite tomato sauce instead of making the lasagna sauce from scratch.
1 tablespoon oil
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed (optional)
1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or oregano
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon basil, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook the turkey, add the tomato sauce and simmer until it thickens a bit, about 3-5 minutes. Spread the cottage cheese over the bottom of a baking dish, followed by the sauce and finally the mozzarella. Bake in a preheated 350F oven until the top is a light golden brown and the sides are bubbling, about 15-20 minutes. Lasagna Sauce Directions: Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat, add the onion and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, and fennel and cook until fragrant, about a minute. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, bay leaf, paprika, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, simmer until until it thickens, about 5 minutes, and then mix in the basil and remove from heat. Option Cover and simmer for longer to develop more flavor. Add one 2 inch piece of parmesan rind to the sauce while it simmers.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients: Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh vegetables, flavorful cheeses, and a good quality pasta sauce are essential.
  • Don't overcook the noodles: 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 their shape in the dip.
  • Use a good quality cheese blend: A combination of ricotta, Parmesan, and mozzarella cheeses is a classic choice for lasagna dip. You can also add other cheeses, such as Asiago or fontina, to taste.
  • Season the dip well: Use a combination of garlic, oregano, basil, and salt and pepper to season the dip. You can also add other spices, such as red pepper flakes or paprika, to taste.
  • Bake the dip until it's bubbly and golden brown: Bake the dip in a preheated oven until it's bubbly and golden brown. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Serve the dip with your favorite dippers: Serve the dip with a variety of dippers, such as tortilla chips, breadsticks, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Lasagna dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that's perfect for parties or potlucks. With its creamy, cheesy flavor and crispy topping, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give lasagna dip a try. You won't be disappointed.
