The Best Layered Lasagna Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: olive oil, butter, onion, large carrot, celery stalk, ground beef, ground pork, salt, pepper, can of tomato paste, red wine, diced tomato, ricotta cheese, fresh basil, shredded parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, egg, salt, pepper, lasagna noodle, shredded mozzarella cheese

Provided by Matthew Johnson

Categories     Lunch

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, minced
½ cup large carrot, peeled and minced
½ cup celery stalk, minced
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
½ cup can of tomato paste
2 cups red wine
4 cups diced tomato
15 oz ricotta cheese
½ cup fresh basil, chopped
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese, plus more to taste
½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 egg
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 lb lasagna noodle, cooked
shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Add the olive oil and butter to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once warmed, add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Once the vegetables have caramelized, add the beef, pork, salt, pepper, and tomato paste. Stir to combine, breaking up the pieces of meat, until the meat has browned, 15-20 minutes.
  • Once the sauce is dark brown and starting to stick slightly to the bottom of the pan, add the red wine. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release all the cooked brown bits. Once the wine comes to a simmer, add the diced canned tomatoes, and stir to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for at least 30 minutes (the longer the better!) stirring occasionally.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the ricotta, basil, Parmesan, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper.
  • In a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) glass baking dish, add a layer of bolognese to the bottom. Top with noodles, then spread a layer of the ricotta mixture on top. Repeat with another layer of bolognese, noodles, ricotta, noodles, bolognese, then top with mozzarella and additional Parmesan. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, until the cheese on top has browned and the bolognese is bubbling. Slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Here's what you need: butter, flour, milk, salt, black pepper, nutmeg, olive oil, onion, carrot, celery, ground beef, tomato sauce, tomato paste, chicken stock, salt, black pepper, no-boil flat lasagna noodles, grated parmesan cheese, fresh chives

Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories     Dinner

Yield 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 stick butter
½ cup flour
8 cups milk
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ cup olive oil
2 cups onion, finely chopped
2 cups carrot, finely chopped
2 cups celery, finely chopped
6 lb ground beef, 80% lean 20% fat
115 oz tomato sauce, 4 cans
½ cup tomato paste
4 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon salt
½ tablespoon black pepper
110 no-boil flat lasagna noodles
2 cups grated parmesan cheese
1 cup fresh chives, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Lay down about 6 feet (1.8 meters) of tinfoil on a flat surface. Place place 4 clusters of 2 lasagna noodles towards the left half of the foil sheet, leaving about a ½-inch (1 cm) gap in between each cluster.
  • Fold the right half of foil over the noodles, pressing flat. To help you see where the noodles are, run your finger along the edges of the noodles to create a rough outline in the foil.
  • Fold the top and bottom flaps of foil over, creasing and pressing flat.
  • Flip the foil sheet onto the table so that it's now standing, then arrange into a square box, using the 4 groups of noodles as a visual guide. Fold and crease over any excess foil to join the ends together, then set aside.
  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Whisk in the flour, cooking until the mixture reaches a light golden color.
  • Slowly drizzle in the milk and bring to a boil, whisking constantly until smooth. Mix in salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil.
  • Transfer the béchamel to a large bowl and press plastic wrap onto the surface of the sauce to prevent a skin from forming. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a very large pot over high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onions, carrots, and celery and cook until the vegetables have started to sweat but aren't browning.
  • Add in the ground beef and use a wooden spoon or spatula to break up the meat into small pieces.
  • Cook the beef, stirring occasionally, until half of the liquid has evaporated.
  • Add in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, chicken stock, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine evenly and breaking up any last lumps.
  • Turn down the heat to low, and simmer, covered, for about 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • To assemble, line a greased 9x9-inch (23x23-cm) square baking pan with 2 sheets of foil that extend over the sides.
  • Spread a thin layer of béchamel on the lined baking pan and top with 2 lasagna noodles. Spread a thin layer of meat sauce evenly across the noodles, followed by a thin layer of béchamel. Repeat the layering process, following the order of: 2 noodles, meat sauce, and béchamel. Alternate the direction of the lasagna sheets after every layer.
  • After 50 layers, place the foil box over the lasagna, helping it stay upright and stable.
  • Continue with the layering process until the 99th layer.
  • Sprinkle Parmesan on top, then cover the whole lasagna with foil.
  • Bake for about 1½ hours, uncovering the foil halfway, until the top is a deep golden brown.
  • Cool for at least 2 hours, then carefully lift out the lasagna with the foil sleeves onto a large cutting board.
  • Peel away the foil walls, then sprinkle the top of the lasagna generously with chives.
  • Cut and serve.
  • Enjoy!
