Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Meat Sauce: Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high. Add beef, sausage, onion, carrots, celery, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up meat into bite-size pieces, until vegetables soften and meat has browned, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, oregano, and red-pepper flakes; cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add tomato paste; cook 2 minutes more. Puree tomatoes in a blender or food processor; add to pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and thickened slightly but still very loose, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together ricotta, milk, eggs, 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, 2 1/2 cups mozzarella, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Assembly: Spread 2 cups meat sauce evenly in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, preferably ceramic or enameled cast iron. Arrange 3 lasagna noodles over sauce (space noodles evenly; they will expand as the lasagna cooks). Spread 2 cups cheese mixture over noodles; top with 3 more noodles. Repeat layering of meat and cheese mixtures between noodles twice more. Spread 2 cups meat sauce evenly over top layer of noodles. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 1 1/2 cups mozzarella and 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano. Loosely cover with parchment-lined foil and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake until noodles are tender but still al dente (easily pierced with the tip of a knife), 40 to 45 minutes. Uncover; continue baking until bubbly and puffed slightly along edges and golden brown in places on top, 20 to 25 minutes more. (There may appear to be a lot of liquid in the dish. It will be absorbed as the lasagna cools.) Transfer dish to a wire rack and let cool slightly and set, about 20 minutes; cut into squares to serve.
EASY ALFREDO LASAGNA
You can spread a red meatsauce over top for a pretty contrast if you like. You can make this in bread pans and eat one now and freeze the other for later. Or make a big batch and watch it be devoured at your next holiday gathering. This came from Savvy Holiday Entertaining.

Steps:
- Combine ground beef and sausage with your choice of seasoning and cook over medium heat until brown. While the meat mixture is cooking, mix together ricotta and parmesan with eggs. Stir until blended, set aside.
- When the meat is browned, drain as much grease as possible from it before stirring into egg and cheese mixture.
- Spray a bread pan or casserole with non-stick cooking spray. Pour in enough sauce to cover the bottom of the pan, layer in a noodle. In the bread pan, one noodle fills the bottom and makes layering a snap.
- Next, layer on meat mixture and top with shredded mozzarella. Repeat layering process with sauce, noodle, meat and cheese. Pour a final layer of sauce and then top off with cheese. Cover with foil and bake about 35 minutes, until mixture is bubbly, then remove foil and bake another 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are brown.
- Remove from oven, let cool a few minutes before plating. Serve with warm, crusty bread and a green salad for a lovely and simple meal.

Steps:
- For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Sprinkle the chicken breast with the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a pan and cook the chicken on medium heat until it registers 165 degrees F in the middle, about 5 minutes on each side. Cube the chicken and set aside.
- For the alfredo sauce: In the same pan that the chicken was cooked in, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until the garlic has softened, about 2 minutes. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. (Be careful not to brown the roux.) Add the milk and heavy cream a little at a time, making sure to whisk until smooth after each addition, and let thicken, about 5 minutes. Add the nutmeg and pepper. Whisk to combine. Turn off the heat and mix in 2 1/2 cups Parmesan. Stir until all the cheese is melted. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Layer 1 cup of the alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Add 3 lasagna noodles. Spread another cup of alfredo, a third of the chicken, a sprinkle of parsley and a quarter of the mozzarella. Then add 3 more noodles and repeat the layering two more times, ending with alfredo sauce, the remaining mozzarella and 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan.
- Bake until browned on top, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove the lasagna from the oven and sprinkle with parsley. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before cutting into it.
VEGETABLE LASAGNA WITH ALFREDO SAUCE
Steps:
- Lay out enough dry lasagna noodles in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan to ensure you have enough to make 3 full layers, with very little overlap on each layer. Remove the dry strips and cook according to package instructions until just tender; drain.
- Alfredo Sauce - Heat water to a boil in the bottom of a double boiler . Add butter, cream, and pepper to the top pan and place over the simmering water until butter is completely melted; stir in Parmesan until melted and blended in. Turn off heat and remove top pan; set aside to cool. Measure 1 1/4 cups of the sauce; set aside. Put the remaining sauce in a container and keep refrigerated until close to serving time.
- Ricotta Filling - In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella, 2 tablespoons green onions, 2 teaspoons of chopped parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 teaspoon each basil and oregano, and 1 1/4 cups of cooled prepared Alfredo sauce. Blend well. Set aside.
- Heat the oven to 375 F.
- Vegetables - In a heavy skillet, sauté mushrooms, carrots, and 1 cup of chopped onions in 1 tablespoon butter until just tender-about 8 to 10 minutes. Add red and green bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli; toss to mix well.
- Assembly - Grease bottom and sides of a 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking dish. Lay out 4 cooked lasagna strips to cover the entire bottom of the baking pan. Spread 1 1/4 cups of the ricotta mixture evenly over the strips. Top with half of the vegetable mixture and spread out evenly. Cover the vegetable layer with 9 slices of mozzarella cheese. Repeat this layering. Top the second layer of mozzarella slices with lasagna strips and spread them evenly with 1 1/4 cups ricotta cheese mixture to finish.
- Grease or spray a sheet of foil with vegetable spray and cover the baking dish tightly with the foil sprayed side down.
- Bake the lasagna for about an hour, or until the internal temp registers 165 F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes, covered, before cutting and serving.

- Don't overcook the noodles: Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook them. Otherwise, they will be mushy.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The Alfredo sauce should be thick enough to coat the noodles and vegetables evenly. If it's too thin, it will make the lasagna watery.
- Layer the lasagna correctly: Start with a layer of sauce, then add a layer of noodles, a layer of vegetables, and a layer of cheese. Repeat this process until you have used up all of the ingredients.
- Bake the lasagna until it's bubbly and golden brown: Bake the lasagna in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, or until it's bubbly and golden brown.
- Let the lasagna rest before slicing: Let the lasagna rest for about 10 minutes before slicing it. This will help the lasagna to set and make it easier to slice.
