THE ULTIMATE LASAGNA



The Ultimate Lasagna image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 pound dried lasagna noodles
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds ground beef
2 pound ground Italian sausage
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, sliced
3 carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup finely chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped oregano leaves
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups red wine
2 (28-ounce) cans tomatoes (recommended: San Marzano)
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 quarts ricotta cheese, (2 containers)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound mozzarella cheese, shredded
Grated Parmesan and mozzarella, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cook the lasagna noodles in plenty of boiling salted water until pliable and barely tender, about 10 minutes. Stir with a wooden spoon to prevent sticking. Drain the noodles thoroughly and coat with olive oil to keep them moist and easy to work with.
  • Coat a large skillet with olive oil, add beef and sausage and brown until no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. In a food processor, combine the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, basil, parsley, an oregano. Process until pureed, add to the pan with the ground meat and stir to combine. Stir in the flour. Add the wine and cook until it has reduced by half. Stir in the tomatoes and add the heavy cream and the cinnamon.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta and the parmesan. Stir in the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
  • To assemble the lasagna: Coat the bottom of a deep 13 by 9-inch pan with olive oil. Arrange 4 noodles lengthwise in a slightly overlapping layer on the sauce. Then, line each end of the pan with a lasagna noodle. This forms a collar that holds in the corners. Dollop 1/2 of the ricotta mixture over the pasta, spread to the edges with a spatula. Spread 1/2 of the meat mixture over the ricotta. Sprinkle 1/2 of the mozzarella on top of the ricotta. Top with a ladle full of sauce, spread evenly. Repeat with the next layer of noodles, ricotta, sauce, and cheeses. Top last layer with noodles, sauce, shredded mozzarella and Parmesan. Tap the pan to force out air bubbles. Bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven. Let lasagna rest for 30 minutes so the noodles will settle and cut easily. Cut into 2-inch squares and serve.

EGG NOODLE/ CREAM CHEESE LASAGNA



Egg Noodle/ Cream Cheese Lasagna image

This is not your everyday lasagna...the cream cheese / sour cream mixture gives this lasagna a creaminess and its own unique flavor...I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was...my picky daughter loved it, so that spoke volumes...she likes it better than regular lasagna. I took a recipe from one of my old cookbooks and...

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 26

COOK TIME DOES NOT INCLUDE TIME FOR SAUCE TO COOK DOWN - YOU CAN ALSO USE STORE BOUGHT SAUCE IF IN A HURRY - AT LEAST 32 OUNCES
1 - 16 oz egg noodles, cooked, drained and rinsed well - just until al dente
MEAT SAUCE
1/2 lb bulk, italian sausage
1/2 - 3/4 lb ground beef
3 - 4 clove garlic, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large can, crushed tomatoes
12 oz tomato paste
12 oz tomato sauce
1/2 c beef broth or water
2 1/2 Tbsp sugar
3/4 tsp fennel seed
2 tsp basil, dried
1 tsp italian seasoning or oregano
1 tsp each - salt & pepper
FILLING
16 oz sour cream
1 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 c shredded, mozzarella / provolone pizza blend
1/2 c grated parmesan cheese - optional
1/2 tsp each - salt & pepper
1 Tbsp fresh or dried parsley - chop fresh if using
3/4 tsp basil, dried
CHEESE FOR LAYERING
1 1/2 c shredded mozzarella / provolone pizza blend

Steps:

  • 1. Cook your pasta and drain well...do not over cook...it will cook more in the sauce, you don't want it mushy.
  • 2. Make the sauce first as it has to cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Or use at least 32 ounces store bought. In a Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the sausage, beef, onion, and garlic until veggies are tender and meat is no longer pink. Drain. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, broth or water. Stir in sugar, basil, fennel seed, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 1 hour 15 minutes, stir occasionally.
  • 3. In a bowl, mix cream cheese with the sour cream until smooth. I use hand mixer. Stir in the seasoning and cheeses.
  • 4. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with nonstick cooking spray. You can use a bit larger deep pan if you have, as this comes clear to the top. I bake mine on a cookie sheet in case it bubbles over. Ladle about 2 cups sauce on bottom of dish, and spread evenly. ( this may seem like a lot of sauce, throughout the recipe, but the noodles suck it right up.) Place half the noodles on top of the sauce, spreading evenly. Spread 1/2 the cream cheese mixture over the noodles. Next 1 cup shredded cheese.
  • 5. Next, another 2 cups sauce. Spread evenly. The rest of noodles, cream cheese mixture and 1/2 of remaining cheese. (Save some for on top of final layer of sauce.) Now, spread enough sauce to coat the top. ( you will have sauce left, which you can freeze for another use.) Sprinkle remaining cheese over top and I sprinkle with some dried parsley.
  • 6. Bake for 40 - 45 minutes or until bubbly and starting to brown. Remove lasagna from oven and let set up for 5 - 10 minutes. Can serve with extra sauce. Enjoy!

EGG NOODLE LASAGNA



Egg Noodle Lasagna image

An easy lasagna recipe using egg noodles instead of the traditional lasagna noodles. This is a great 'clean out the cupboard & fridge' recipe! The original recipe calls for mascarpone instead of the ricotta (which I use). Use mascarpone if you wish...it's just always easier for me to find ricotta at the store. You could also use cream cheese instead of ricotta.

GRANDMA'S BEST EVER SOUR CREAM LASAGNA



Grandma's Best Ever Sour Cream Lasagna image

This is my grandma's famous recipe, except that I use sour cream instead of the traditional cheeses (a trick I picked up from my mother-in-law). She always made it for birthday dinners and special occasions. This makes a large amount. I halve it when making it for my boyfriend and myself. It's very cheesy - sometimes I add a little extra tomato sauce. Enjoy!
