Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/4 pounds (4 inches by 8 inches) fresh lasagna sheets
Coarse salt
10 cups homemade or store-bought pasta sauce
1/2 recipe Meatballs for Patsy's Meatball Lasagna
1 1/3 cups freshly grated pecorino Romano cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves, plus more for garnish
2 pounds (about 8 links) sweet Italian sausage, broiled and thinly sliced
2 pounds fresh mozzarella, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 2 1/4 cups)
2 cups fresh ricotta cheese
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil; season with salt. Add lasagna sheets, and cook until pliable and al dente, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Pour 1 cup sauce into a shallow baking dish; set aside. Cut two sheets in half lengthwise to make four 2-by-8-inch sheets; set aside.
  • Spread 1 cup sauce on the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Dip half of a reserved cut sheet crosswise in the reserved sauce, and drape over a corner of the baking pan, leaving the sauce-covered end in the pan with the other half hanging over the edge. Repeat with remaining 3 cut sheets and corners. Line edges of pan in the same manner using full-size sheets dipped lengthwise. Finish lining the bottom of the pan with 2 full sheets.
  • In a medium bowl, toss to combine meatballs with 1/3 cup pecorino Romano, and 1/4 cup basil; spread evenly in bottom of dish. Pour over 1 cup sauce, and cover with 2 lasagna sheets.

  • In a medium bowl, combine remaining 1/3 cup pecorino Romano with ricotta and egg; spread evenly in baking dish. Top with 1 cup sauce.
  • Center pasta sheets on ricotta within 1/2-inch of the edge of dish. Brush draped lasagna with sauce, and fold over to seal and enclose.
  • Cover lasagna with a clean, damp kitchen towel. Double-wrap baking dish in aluminum foil. Place an ovenproof plate, upside down, in a large roasting pan; fill pan with 2 inches of hot water. Place lasagna on top of plate. Bake until lasagna reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees to 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 1 1/2 hours to 1 hour 40 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand 15 minutes before serving. Garnish with remaining basil, and serve with remaining sauce, if desired.

SAVOURY SPAGHETTI WITH MEATBALLS RECIPE BY TASTY



Savoury Spaghetti With Meatballs Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, McCormick® Savory Spice Blend, tomato paste, canned whole peeled tomato, kosher salt, white bread, heavy cream, grated parmesan cheese, onion, garlic, pepper, ground pork, kosher salt, 85% lean ground beef, McCormick® Savory Spice Blend, olive oil, spaghetti, kosher salt, parmesan cheese, fresh basil

Provided by Tasty

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 tablespoons olive oil
5 cloves garlic, crushed
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon McCormick® Savory Spice Blend
3 tablespoons tomato paste
56 oz canned whole peeled tomato
kosher salt, to taste
2 slices white bread, hearty, crusts removed, torn in 1/2 ( 1 1/4 cm) in pieces
10 tablespoons heavy cream
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons onion, grated
2 tablespoons garlic, grated
pepper, to taste
1 lb ground pork
½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 lb 85% lean ground beef
1 tablespoon McCormick® Savory Spice Blend
olive oil, to taste
1 lb spaghetti, dried
kosher salt, to taste
parmesan cheese, a chunk
¼ cup fresh basil, chopped

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: In a large pot over medium-low heat, combine the olive oil and garlic and cook until the garlic begins to sizzle very gently. Add the red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic just begins to turn light golden in color, about 3 minutes. Add the Savory spice blend and continue to cook, stirring, for 1 minute more.
  • Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until the paste has softened and blended with the oil and garlic mixture, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomatoes and their juices and increase the heat to medium-high, bringing the to a gentle simmer. Lower the heat a bit if it's bubbling and spitting too much. Remove the sauce from the heat.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend the sauce until smooth. Tip: Drape a kitchen towel over the pot to act as a cover from sauce splatters. Or, transfer the sauce to a blender and puree, then return to the pot.
  • Decrease the heat to medium-low and bring the sauce to a simmer.
  • Make the meatballs: In a medium bowl, combine the bread cubes, cream, parmesan, onion, garlic, and pepper. Using a fork, mash into thick paste.
  • In a large bowl, gently mix the ground pork with the salt and baking powder. Add the beef and gently stir to combine (you can also use your hands for this). Add the bread mixture, Savory spice blend, and a pinch more salt and pepper and mix until just incorporated. Rub a bit of olive oil on your hands and form the mixture into smooth, round meatballs the size of golf balls--you should have about 25 total..
  • Once the meatballs are formed, gently lower each meatball into the pot of sauce. Bring to a low simmer, cover, and cook for 25-35 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into a meatball reaches 165˚F (75˚C).
  • While the meatballs are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Reserve 1 cup (240 ml) of pasta cooking water, then drain.
  • In a large bowl, toss the spaghetti with a few large spoonfuls of pasta sauce to coat, along with a few splashes of the reserved cooking water. Divide the pasta among bowls and spoon more sauce and meatballs over the pasta. Top each serving with freshly grated Parmesan and basil.
  • Enjoy!

MEATBALLS FOR PATSY'S MEATBALL LASAGNA



Meatballs for Patsy's Meatball Lasagna image

An expert trick makes simple work of rolling these meatballs into shape. The meatballs are used in Patsy's Meatball Lasagna.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes     Ground Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs
6 tablespoons whole milk
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium onions, finely chopped
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 pounds ground beef, preferably chuck
1 1/2 pounds ground pork
3 large, whole eggs, lightly beaten
3 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Dried breadcrumbs, for work surface
Olive oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Place breadcrumbs in a small bowl. Drizzle the milk over and let stand until absorbed.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
  • Place the ground meats in a large bowl. Add breadcrumb mixture to meats along with the reserved onion and garlic, whole eggs, yolks, parsley, oregano, and cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Using your hands, mix until just combined.
  • Sprinkle breadcrumbs over work surface. Roll 3/4 cup meatball mixture into a thin strip, about 12 inches long; repeat 3 more times. Line strips next to one another; sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Cut strips into 1-inch lengths. Repeat process with remaining meat mixture.
  • Working in batches, transfer 1-inch pieces to a large sieve; sprinkle lightly with breadcrumbs to prevent sticking. Toss until pieces become round and form meatballs.
  • Lightly coat the bottom of a large skillet with olive oil; set over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook meatballs until browned and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Repeat with additional oil and remaining meatballs.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of ground meats. This will give the meatballs a more complex flavor and texture. Patsy's uses a mixture of ground beef, ground pork, and ground veal, but you can use any combination of ground meats that you like.
  • Don't overwork the meat. Overworking the meat will make the meatballs tough. Mix the meat just until it is evenly combined.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices. Fresh herbs and spices will give the meatballs more flavor. Patsy's uses a combination of parsley, basil, oregano, garlic, and onion, but you can use any combination of herbs and spices that you like.
  • Let the meatballs rest before cooking. This will help the meatballs hold their shape. Cover the meatballs and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Cook the meatballs over medium heat. This will help the meatballs cook evenly without burning. Patsy's cooks the meatballs in a combination of olive oil and butter, but you can use any type of cooking oil that you like.
  • Don't crowd the meatballs in the pan. If you crowd the meatballs in the pan, they will not cook evenly. Cook the meatballs in batches if necessary.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce. Patsy's serves the meatballs with a tomato sauce, but you can serve them with any type of sauce that you like.

Conclusion:

Patsy's savory meatballs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. These meatballs are perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. They can be served with a variety of sauces, making them a great option for any occasion.
