POTATO LASAGNA



Potato Lasagna image

Meet the Cook: At our house, this is a regular - it's as much fun to fix as it is to eat! (Sometimes, we even make extras of the potatoes to serve as appetizers.) Since it's so thick, it's great for potlucks as well. My husband and I frequently team up in the kitchen. We're the parents of two young daughters, ages 4 and 1. -Mara Beaumont, South Milwaukee, Wisconsin

SWEET POTATO LASAGNA



Sweet Potato Lasagna image

Sweet potatoes sub in for lasagna noodles in this twist on the classic, while spinach adds a pop of color (and plenty of nutrition). The result is a hearty and satisfying main dish that just happens to be vegetarian and gluten-free too!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
One 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
Two 10-ounce boxes frozen chopped spinach, defrosted
1 pound mozzarella, grated
2 pounds ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 pounds sweet potatoes (about 3 large)

Steps:

  • For the tomato sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and mash into a chunky puree using a potato masher. Bring to a simmer and partially cover the pan with a lid. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat.
  • For the lasagna: While the sauce is cooking, drain the water from the spinach, place in a clean kitchen towel and wring well to remove any excess water. Break up the spinach into a large bowl. Set aside 1 cup of the mozzarella, then add the remaining mozzarella to the bowl with the spinach. Add the ricotta, Parmesan, nutmeg, eggs, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and mix with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until well combined.
  • Peel the sweet potatoes and trim a small bit from one of the longer ends on each so they will sit flat and not roll. Cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch planks.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • To assemble the lasagna: Add about 3/4 cup of sauce to the bottom of a deep 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Place a single layer of sweet potato slices along the bottom. Top with one-quarter of the ricotta and spinach mixture and use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to spread gently into an even layer. Dollop about 3/4 cup of sauce on top of the ricotta mixture. Top with another layer of sweet potato slices facing the opposite direction from the previous layer. Repeat with ricotta mixture and sauce until you have 4 layers, ending with the remaining sauce.
  • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil, top with the reserved mozzarella and bake until the lasagna is bubbling, the mozzarella is starting to brown and the sweet potatoes are tender when a paring knife is inserted into the center, an additional 45 to 60 minutes. Let sit for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

  • Use a good quality cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your lasagna. Look for a cheese that is flavorful and melts well, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or Parmesan.
  • Don't skimp on the sauce. The sauce is what brings all the flavors of the lasagna together. Make sure to use a sauce that you love.
  • Bake the lasagna until it is bubbly and golden brown. This will ensure that it is cooked through and that the cheese is melted and gooey.
