Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ pound ground pork sausage
½ pound ground beef
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
¾ onion, chopped
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup cottage cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
2 (8 ounce) tubes refrigerated crescent rolls
½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, or to taste
2 teaspoons milk, or as needed
2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir pork and beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Blot meat with paper napkins to remove as much grease as possible.
  • Add tomato paste, onion, parsley, basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the browned meat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Mix well and simmer the meat filling, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, and egg together for the cheese filling.
  • Unroll crescent rolls and press together to form a rectangle of dough. Place on an ungreased baking sheet, with the short sides of the dough hanging over the long edge of the baking sheet.
  • Spread 1/2 of the meat filling down the middle of the dough. Spoon cheese filling on top. Layer remaining meat filling over the cheese. Add Monterey Jack cheese on top. Pull sides of dough across one another to form a loaf, sealing all open edges. Brush top of loaf with milk and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until deep golden brown in color, 20 to 25 minutes.

Stuffed Lasagna Pie image

Here are traditional lasagna flavors in a party-stopping timpano presentation. The lasagna noodles create a crisp shell for the traditional fillings within: meat sauce, cheese and sausage.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

Kosher salt
One 16-ounce box dried curly-edge lasagna noodles (not no-bake)
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Nonstick cooking spray
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 carrot, cut into chunks
1 stalk celery, cut into chunks
1/2 onion, cut into chunks
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
4 links sweet Italian sausage (just under 1 pound)
1 pound 80-percent lean ground beef
1 pound ground pork
1/2 cup tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 pound fresh ricotta
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus sprigs for garnish
1/2 cup fresh Italian parsley leaves, chopped
8 ounces low-moisture mozzarella, sliced
2 cups marinara sauce, warmed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles until pliable but still very al dente, about 3 minutes less than the package cooking time. Drain, but do not rinse. (The starch from the noodles will help them stick to the sides of the pan.) Spread on a baking sheet. Cut 4 of the noodles crosswise into thirds.
  • Toss the breadcrumbs and 2 tablespoons Parmesan together in a small bowl. Spray a 10-inch tube pan with cooking spray. Coat with the Parmesan breadcrumbs, tapping out the excess.
  • Combine the garlic, carrot, celery and onion in a food processor or mini food processor and process to a paste.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Prick each sausage with a fork and cook until browned, 5 to 6 minutes; remove and set aside. Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil to the skillet and crumble in the beef and pork. Cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 4 minutes. Add the aromatic paste from the food processor. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it dries out, about 3 minutes. Make a space in the middle of the pan and add the tomato paste. Cook, stirring the tomato paste until it darkens a shade or two, about 2 minutes, then stir into the meat. Season with the oregano, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the white wine and cook until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add 1 cup water and simmer rapidly until very thick, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Combine the ricotta, egg, basil, parsley and 1/2 cup Parmesan in a medium bowl.
  • Line the prepared pan with the whole lasagna noodles, overlapping slightly. Spread about half of the meat sauce in the bottom of the pan on top of the noodles. Nestle the sausages into the meat sauce, pressing down to submerge them about halfway. Top with a third of the sliced mozzarella, breaking the slices to fit. Top with half of the cut noodle pieces and press down gently. Spread the ricotta mixture over the noodles and top with another third of the mozzarella. Top with the remaining cut noodles and press again. Spread over the remaining meat sauce and top with the remaining mozzarella. Fold over the noodles used to line the pan to encase the filling and brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
  • Cover the timpano with foil and bake until heated through, 30 to 35 minutes. Uncover and bake until the top is crisp and golden-brown, about 30 minutes more. Let rest 45 minutes to 1 hour before unmolding. Run an offset spatula or butter knife around the edges of the pan to ensure it can be removed with ease. Unmold the lasagna by inverting it onto a serving platter. Arrange the basil sprigs in the middle. Slice with a serrated knife and serve with the marinara on the side.

1 ½ pounds ground beef
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add 1/2 of the ground beef with a big pinch of salt and pepper and cook until the beef is seared and crumbly, about 5 minutes. Remove beef from the pan and cook the remainder. Set all meat aside.
  • Lower the heat to medium-low and add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the onion. Saute until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Add tomato paste and oregano, followed by the ground beef and one jar of sauce. Stir to combine and reduce to a simmer. Add salt and pepper to taste.
