THE BEST LAYERED LASAGNA RECIPE BY TASTY



The Best Layered Lasagna Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: olive oil, butter, onion, large carrot, celery stalk, ground beef, ground pork, salt, pepper, can of tomato paste, red wine, diced tomato, ricotta cheese, fresh basil, shredded parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, egg, salt, pepper, lasagna noodle, shredded mozzarella cheese

Provided by Matthew Johnson

Categories     Lunch

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, minced
½ cup large carrot, peeled and minced
½ cup celery stalk, minced
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
½ cup can of tomato paste
2 cups red wine
4 cups diced tomato
15 oz ricotta cheese
½ cup fresh basil, chopped
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese, plus more to taste
½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 egg
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 lb lasagna noodle, cooked
shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Add the olive oil and butter to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once warmed, add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Once the vegetables have caramelized, add the beef, pork, salt, pepper, and tomato paste. Stir to combine, breaking up the pieces of meat, until the meat has browned, 15-20 minutes.
  • Once the sauce is dark brown and starting to stick slightly to the bottom of the pan, add the red wine. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release all the cooked brown bits. Once the wine comes to a simmer, add the diced canned tomatoes, and stir to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for at least 30 minutes (the longer the better!) stirring occasionally.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the ricotta, basil, Parmesan, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper.
  • In a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) glass baking dish, add a layer of bolognese to the bottom. Top with noodles, then spread a layer of the ricotta mixture on top. Repeat with another layer of bolognese, noodles, ricotta, noodles, bolognese, then top with mozzarella and additional Parmesan. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, until the cheese on top has browned and the bolognese is bubbling. Slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

LAYERED TORTILLA LASAGNA



Layered Tortilla Lasagna image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 8 as a main dish, or 12 to 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

About 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cups (about 6 ounces) sliced stemmed mushrooms
1 1/2 cups corn kernels, preferably fresh and cut off the cobs (about 2 ears)
8 cups (about 10 ounces) packed, stemmed spinach leaves, well rinsed but not dried
1/2 teaspoon salt
16 tortillas (this is better with store-bought rather than homemade)
5 cups Chipotle Cascabel Salsa or substitute
1 cup heavy (whipping) cream, creme fraiche or plain yogurt
3 cups (12 ounces) shredded Mexican asadero-style cheese, brick, Monterey Jack or just about any melting cheese you like
15- or 16-ounce carton ricotta cheese
About 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium. When quite hot, add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the corn and cook for a minute or two longer, then scrape the mixture into a bowl. Return the skillet to the heat without washing it and add the damp spinach. Cook, stirring constantly, until just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Scoop into a colander set in the sink and use a spoon to gently press out excess moisture. Let the vegetables cool, then scoop the spinach in with the mushrooms and corn and season with the salt.
  • Pour a little of the remaining oil into a small skillet to lightly coat the bottom and set over medium heat until hot. One at a time, quick-fry the tortillas for a few seconds per side just to soften them. As the oil is used up, add a little more, let it heat a moment, then continue frying tortillas. Drain the tortillas in a single layer on paper towels, blotting them dry with additional towels. Cut the tortillas in half.
  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. In a medium-size bowl, mix the salsa with the cream or yogurt. Spread a thin layer of the salsa mixture over the bottom of the baking dish, then cover with 8 tortilla halves. Evenly top with half of the vegetables, a scant 11/2 cups of the remaining salsa mixture and 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Add another layer of 8 tortilla halves. Spread with the ricotta and another scant 11/2 cups of the salsa mixture. Top that second layer with a third round of 8 tortilla halves, the remaining vegetables, another portion of salsa mixture and 1 cup of the shredded cheese. For the final layer, evenly lay out the remaining tortillas, spread with the remaining salsa mixture (making sure to completely cover the tortillas) and evenly sprinkle on the remaining 1 cup shredded cheese.
  • Cover lightly with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until bubbling and lightly browned. Let stand a few minutes before sprinkling with the cilantro and cutting into squares to serve to your guests on warm plates

PERFECT MEXICAN LASAGNA

I usually just buy Tyson's ready cooked chicken breast strips (two 6oz pkgs) pre-seasoned with southwestern spices. I sometimes use multi-grain flour tortillas, when I can find them in the store.

Categories     Home

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lb ground beef
1 can (12 oz.) refried beans
1 can (16 oz.) salsa
10 large (burrito-sized) tortillas
2 cups KRAFT Mexican Cheese

Steps:

  • Thoroughly cook ground beef and warm up can of beans. Drain out the excess grease from beef and mix beef with about a fourth of your container of salsa or add salsa to your own preferences. You will need a pan to bake your lasagna in...at least one that can fit your tortillas.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread half of beef in bottom of your pan, cover with 2 tortillas. Spread all of your beans on the tortilla, cover with 2 more tortillas. Cover tortillas with about half your cheese or less if you prefer. Cover cheese with 2 more tortillas. Cover tortillas with the rest of your beef, and cover with two more tortillas. (Optional: Cover layer with the rest of salsa or as much as you want to put on there and cover with two more tortillas.) Cover this last layer with cheese.
  • Put into oven for 15 minutes. Let it stand for 5 minutes, and dig in!

Tips:

  • Prep ingredients beforehand: Before starting to cook, ensure all the necessary ingredients are prepped and measured. This helps in streamlining the cooking process and preventing any delay or scrambling for ingredients while cooking.
  • Use flavorful tortillas: The tortillas used for the lasagna significantly impact the final flavor of the dish. Opt for flavorful tortillas, such as sun-dried tomato or spinach tortillas, to infuse the lasagna with added taste.
  • Don't overcook the lasagna: The lasagna should be cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), but be careful not to overcook it. Overcooking can result in dry and tough lasagna.
  • Let it rest: Before serving, allow the lasagna to rest for about 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and settle, resulting in a more cohesive and enjoyable dish.
  • Customize to your preference: Feel free to customize the lasagna with your favorite ingredients or dietary restrictions. For example, you can substitute ground turkey or chicken for beef, or use gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free option.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the layered Mexican lasagna presented in the article is an exquisite fusion dish that combines the classic Italian lasagna with vibrant Mexican flavors. It's a delightful dish for any occasion, whether you're hosting a gathering or seeking a flavorful meal for your family.
