  • Preheat oven to 350 °F.
  • Place a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of a 9 by 13 by 2-inch pan. Layer 1/3 of each; noodle; cottage cheese mixture, Gruyere, Swiss and Cheddar cheese. Pinch off small pieces of cream cheese and dot over the other cheeses. Add another layer of sauce. Repeat layering 2 to 3 times ending with sauce.
  • This may be covered and refrigerated. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and top with mozzarella and continue to bake for another 10 to 15 minutes.
  • *Note: If lasagna has been refrigerated, bake for 40 minutes total.

FRIED LASAGNA



Fried Lasagna image

One of my favorite dishes at Olive Garden is their fried lasagna. On a whim, I tried to recreate it at home. After a few tries, I think I got it pretty close to the original. -Jolene Martinelli, Fremont, New Hampshire

Categories     Dinner

Time 55m

Yield 10 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 10

20 uncooked lasagna noodles
1 carton (32 ounces) whole-milk ricotta cheese
2-1/2 cups shredded Italian cheese blend, divided
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
6 large eggs, beaten, divided use
4 teaspoons Italian seasoning, divided
Oil for deep-fat frying
2-1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
1 jar (24 ounces) marinara sauce, warmed
1 jar (15 ounces) Alfredo sauce, warmed

Steps:

  • Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions for al dente. In a large bowl, combine ricotta, 1-1/4 cups Italian cheese blend, mozzarella, 2 eggs and 3 teaspoons Italian seasoning. Drain noodles. If desired, cut off ribboned edges (discard or save for another use). Spread about 1/4 cup filling on each noodle. Starting with a short side, fold each in thirds. Place all on a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam side down. Freeze just until firm, about 1 hour., In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375°. In a shallow bowl, mix bread crumbs, 2/3 cup Italian cheese blend and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Place remaining 4 eggs in separate shallow bowl. Dip lasagna bundles into eggs, then into crumb mixture, patting to help coating adhere., Fry bundles in batches until golden brown, 8-10 minutes, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Serve with marinara, Alfredo, the remaining Italian cheese blend and, if desired, additional Italian seasoning.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality lasagna noodle that will hold up to the frying process. A thicker noodle will work better than a thinner one.
  • Make sure the lasagna noodles are cooked al dente before frying. This will help them to stay together and not fall apart.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven for frying the lasagna noodles. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the lasagna noodles. If the oil is not hot enough, the noodles will not brown properly.
  • Fry the lasagna noodles in batches so that they do not overcrowd the pan. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Drain the lasagna noodles on paper towels before assembling the lasagna. This will help to remove any excess oil.
  • Use a variety of cheeses in the lasagna filling. This will give the lasagna a more complex flavor.
  • Bake the lasagna until it is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the lasagna rest for a few minutes before cutting and serving. This will help the lasagna to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Deep-fried lasagna is a delicious and unique twist on the classic Italian dish. By following these tips, you can make a deep-fried lasagna that is sure to impress your friends and family. This decadent dish is perfect for a special occasion or a fun weekend meal. Serve it with a side of marinara sauce and a glass of red wine for a truly unforgettable experience.
