TRADITIONAL ITALIAN SPINACH LASAGNA



Traditional Italian Spinach Lasagna image

This is a dish I make only once a year. We invite friends to dinner. If there are any leftovers, I freeze them in single serving size bags and put those into a large freezer bag. This is labor intensive, and an all day affair for me. I like that the crosswise sections make me think of the Italian flag.

VENISON LASAGNE (OR BEEF)



Venison Lasagne (Or Beef) image

Without meaning to brag, this is the best lasagne recipe I've ever tasted. It's perfect if you're trying to figure out what to do with ground venison because the tomato sauce does an incredible job of removing/masking the wild taste, but of course you can use ground beef as well. Even "Oh, I don't eat deer meat" people will love this -- just don't tell them until afterwards! My recipe book says the fennel is optional, but that's your KILLER SECRET INGREDIENT! It's not optional in my opinion!! You could also add a package of frozen spinach (thawed and drained) as well.

Time 1h

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

10 lasagna noodles, cooked (or more or less, depending on how much pasta you like)
1 lb ground venison (or beef)
1 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (8 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

8 ounces mozzarella cheese, sliced (or shredded)

Steps:

  • Cook lasagne noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • For meat sauce: In a large saucepan or skillet, scramble-fry meat, onion, and garlic until meat is brown and onion is tender. Drain fat (if you're using venison, there likely won't be any -- that's my little plug for venison!).
  • Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce and paste and seasonings. Bring to a boil.
  • Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • For Cheese Filling: Combine egg, cottage cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, and parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose the right venison. Use venison that is fresh and free of gamey flavor. If you are using frozen venison, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Brown the venison well. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the venison from becoming dry.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to the lasagna. Some good options include spinach, mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers.
  • Don't overcook the lasagna. The lasagna is done when the noodles are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the lasagna rest before serving. This will help the lasagna to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Spinach venison lasagna is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover venison and a healthy way to get your daily dose of vegetables. So next time you are looking for a new lasagna recipe, be sure to give this one a try!
