Best 3 Kale Lasagna Diavolo Recipes

KALE LASAGNA WITH MEAT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cook and stir Italian sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic together in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until meats are browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, vegetable broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and let simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
• Combine ricotta cheese, kale, and egg in a bowl.
• Layer lasagna in a 9x13-inch pan starting with a small amount of meat sauce and noodles, followed by 1/2 of the ricotta mixture, more noodles, and most of remaining meat sauce. Continue with Parmesan cheese, noodles, 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese, noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, remaining noodles, and remaining meat sauce. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until bubbly and browned, 30 to 45 minutes. Let cool and set up for 10 minutes before cutting.

HEALTHY LASAGNA WITH KALE AND PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Puree the peppers, oregano, tomatoes, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the sugar in a food processor or blender until smooth and set aside. Mix 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese with the egg whites and ricotta cheese in a medium bowl.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they have released their liquid and are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the kale, in batches, and as it wilts add the pepper flakes, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt and continue to cook until the kale is wilted and bright green, an additional 5 minutes.
• Mist a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spread 3/4 cup of the sauce in the bottom of the dish. Top with 3 noodles, 1/2 of the ricotta mixture and 1/2 of the mushroom mixture. Repeat layers with sauce, noodles and remaining ricotta and mushrooms. Top with remaining noodles and sauce. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until the noodles are tender and the sauce is bubbling around the edges of the pan, about 50 minutes.
• Uncover, sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup grated mozzarella and continue to bake until melted, about 5 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

TUSCAN KALE LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bring 2 large pots of water (one heavily salted, and one lightly salted) to a boil. Add lasagna noodles to the heavily salted water and parboil for 6 minutes. Remove noodles to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process; drain and set aside.
• Add kale to the lightly salted water and cook for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Dry thoroughly and rip into large, bite-sized pieces; set aside.
• Mix ricotta cheese, goat cheese, and egg together in a bowl. Mix in 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, basil, salt, and pepper.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in mushrooms and season with salt. Saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until mushrooms are tender, 3 minutes more. Remove from the heat.
• Coat the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish with 1/2 cup tomato sauce. Layer ingredients evenly as follows, pressing down firmly after adding each layer of noodles: 2 lasagna noodles, 1/2 the ricotta cheese mixture, all the kale, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, 1/8 cup Parmesan, 2 lasagna noodles placed in opposite direction as first layer, the remaining ricotta mixture, all the mushrooms, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, 1/8 cup Parmesan, the remaining lasagna noodles (alternating direction once more) and tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and remaining Parmesan. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and bake until cheese is golden brown and bubble, about 15 more minutes.
