WORLD'S EASIEST LAZY LAZAGNA



World's Easiest Lazy Lazagna image

Craving rich lasagna taste, but have no time to slave over this elaborate dish? Not a problem. I put lazy in lasagna - you'll have it ready for the oven in 10 minutes or less - promise. AND... drum roll... it's made with uncooked egg noodles! I came up with this idea after I spent almost an entire day making a lasagna from scratch. I make a great noodle kugel with uncooked egg noodles, so I thought - why not a lasagna?

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb sweet Italian sausage
3/4 lb ground beef
1/2 cup onion, minced
3 garlic cloves, crushed
8 cups pasta sauce
2/3 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons dried parsley
16 ounces egg noodles
24 ounces cottage cheese
2 eggs
3/4 lb mozzarella cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Reserve about 2/3 cup of shredded mozzarella and 1 cup of pasta sauce.
  • Brown ground beef, sausage and onion, adding crushed garlic when almost done. Stir in pasta sauce and all dried spices.
  • In a separate bowl, combine cottage cheese, mozzarella and 2 raw eggs.
  • Spread one-third of meat sauce in a lightly greased 13x9 inch baking dish. Follow with a layer of uncooked egg noodles. (Simply "dump" the noodles on top of the sauce and spread with your hand to create a thin even layer, completely covering the sauce. Follow by a layer of the cheese mix, and a layer of meat sauce. Repeat procedure until all ingridients are used. Mix remaining pasta sauce with hot water, 50/50. Slowly pour the mixture around inside edge of dish, until the entire top layer of noodles is lightly covered with liquid. If necessary, simply pour the mixture straight on top. Don't worry - it will cook away. Let stand for 5 minutes before putting the dish in the oven. Lightly sprinkle with mozzarella. Tightly cover baking dish with 2 layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  • Bake in a preheated 350 degree F (175 degree C) oven for 35-40 minutes. Uncover. If the egg noodles seem cooked (they're so small - you can just pinch one off and taste) -- top with the remaining mozzarella. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, uncovered. Remove from oven, and let stand 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
  • *** If you have no sausage on hand, just substitute ground beef. I've tried this recipe with ground turkey, and even with a mix of browned ground beef and zucchini, and it came out great. If you prefer - you can broil the top mozzarella layer for a couple of minutes for extra sizzle. Enjoy!

LAZY MAN'S (OR LAZY MOM'S LASAGNA)



Lazy Man's (or Lazy Mom's Lasagna) image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8-ounces provolone, sliced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 2 ounces)
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup minced onion, optional
1 garlic clove, minced, optional
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
12 ounces frozen (not thawed) cheese ravioli
1 (14-ounce jar) spaghetti sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Brown the beef with the optional onion, optional garlic, herbs, and salt and pepper in a large, ovenproof skillet (I use one that's made of castiron). When the meat is thoroughly cooked -- it will take 8 to 10 minutes -- drain off any fat and take everything out of the pan. Now put the still-frozen ravioli into the pan, breaking them up if they are clumped. Spread the ground beef mixture evenly over the ravioli, and ladle the spaghetti sauce evenly over the ground beef mixture. Over medium heat, without stirring, cook until the ravioli is heated through and beginning to brown on the bottom -- about 10 minutes.
  • Take the skillet off the heat, lay the provolone slices over the ground beef mixture, and sprinkle the whole thing with the Parmesan. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve hot.
