9 ounces lasagna noodles
2 teaspoons olive oil
8 ounces 93% lean ground beef
8 ounces hot Italian pork sausage, casing removed
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 (16 ounce) jar marinara sauce
½ cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
¼ cup prepared basil pesto
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
½ cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again. Lay each noodle flat on a rimmed baking sheet and thoroughly pat dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and sausage; cook, stirring often and breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and wipe out the pan. Add remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and onion and cook until softened, about 2 more minutes.

Add 8 to 10 pasta pieces, one at a time to avoid them sticking together, and cook, lightly tapping under the oil and stirring with a spider tool occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove using a spider or tongs to a paper towel-lined sheet tray, and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining pasta pieces, allowing oil temperature to reach back to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C) before adding the next batch.
  • Sprinkle dip with parsley and basil and serve with hot pasta chips.

LIGHTER SIMPLE LASAGNA ROLL UPS



Lighter Simple Lasagna Roll Ups image

These delicious rolls use low-fat cheeses, egg whites, and whole wheat lasagna noodles to increase their nutrition. The noodles are rolled around a ball of filling, as opposed to spreading the filling over the noodle. The technique is quicker and not as messy and results with nice looking cannoli-type roll.
