Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic to the pan, stirring often, until soft. Move the onions and garlic to the edges of the pan. Add ground beef, McCormick® Dried Oregano, salt, and pepper to the center of the pan, breaking up the meat into smaller pieces. Let the beef sit undisturbed for a moment so the beef browns slightly. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until almost no pink remains.
- Add tomato paste to the pan and stir to combine. Add crushed tomatoes and chicken stock to skillet. Bring to a boil and add noodles to skillet, stirring so noodles are submerged. Lower heat to medium, cover with a lid, and cook for about 10 minutes, until noodles are al dente.
- Remove from heat, then stir in shredded mozzarella. Spoon dollops of ricotta over the pasta, cover with lid, and let sit for a few minutes until ricotta melts slightly. Sprinkle fresh basil over pasta and serve.
- Enjoy!

PASTA AND POTATO PIEROGI LASAGNA
Steps:
- For the potatoes: Bring a pot of water with the cubed potatoes to a boil and boil until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain. Heat the milk and butter in a pot, then add it to the cooked potatoes and mash until smooth. Mix in the salt and pepper. Set aside.
- For the meat and cabbage: Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sausage and cook, stirring and breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the meat with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 7 minutes, then add the meat back in and stir. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- For the cheese sauce: Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the paste bubbles a bit but does not brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the hot milk, continuing to stir as the sauce thickens, and bring it to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper, then lower the heat and add the Cheddar. Cook until a smooth sauce is obtained. Add additional salt and pepper if needed.
- For the assembly: Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with some cooking spray. Spoon a thin layer of the cheese sauce on the bottom of the dish, then place 4 of the noodles on the sauce. Top with a third of the meat-cabbage mixture, a third of the potatoes and a third of the cheese sauce. Layer in another 4 noodles, another third of the meat-cabbage mixture, potatoes and cheese sauce and sprinkle in half of the Parmesan. Repeat the layers one more time, then top the final layer with the remaining Parmesan. Bake until golden, 30 to 45 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.

VEGETARIAN ZUCCHINI LASAGNA (NO PASTA USED)
What could be better than a lasagna with 2 pounds of ricotta cheese? Its vegetarian but no one will miss the meat since it has all that extra cheese. Yes, you can substitute low fat cheeses in this recipe but I do not think the fat free cheeses work well. Adjust seasonings to your liking. I found this recipe in a local...

Steps:
- Put the flour and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the center with your hands. Put the eggs in the center of the well and gently incorporate the eggs into the flour by pulling the flour into the eggs. Dust a clean working surface with flour, remove the dough from the bowl and knead for approximately 5 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth. Shape the dough into a disk, and wrap in plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, maximum 48 hours.
- Put a large pot of salted water over high heat and bring to a boil.
- Dust a clean working surface with flour, remove the dough from the refrigerator, divide into 5 equal pieces and cover with plastic wrap to prevent the dough from drying out. Using a pasta machine, roll each piece of dough out into long thin pieces, adjusting the dial for desired thickness. Put the pasta on a tray and dust with flour. Repeat with the remaining dough, dusting the pasta with flour in between layers to prevent them from sticking to one another. Trim the sheets to fit the baking dish, if necessary.
- Put the remaining olive oil on a large baking sheet. Cook the pasta in salted water, gently remove and put on a tray, cover in oil to prevent the pasta from sticking and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Put the squash in a bowl, coat with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt, and pepper. Roast the squash in the oven for approximately 45 minutes, until the squash has become tender and caramelized, turning over half way through cooking. Remove from the oven, put in a large bowl, mash slightly and set aside.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat, add the onions and garlic and saute until golden brown. Add the butter and allow to melt. Add the sage, stir, remove from heat. Add to the roasted squash, season with salt, and pepper, gently fold and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat. Add the flour, stir with a wooden spoon incorporating the flour into the butter until a paste consistency is achieved. Add the milk slowly and stir to incorporate, removing all the lumps. Once the mixture thickens, add the mashed jalapeno and season with salt and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and oil a 9 by 13-inch baking dish.
- Layer the tomatoes, sheets of homemade pasta, jalapeno bechamel, chopped rapini (broccoli rabe), roasted squash filling, ricotta, and then sprinkle with Parmesan. Finish with a layer of jalapeno bechamel and put whole sage leaves on top, submerging them in sauce. Bake in the oven for approximately 30 minutes, then broil for an additional 5 minutes until jalapeno bechamel becomes golden brown. Serve with Charred Rapini
- Put honey in a small pot over low heat, once the honey achieves a thin consistency, add the chile flakes, stir and remove from the heat. Add the white wine and set aside.
- Preheat a grill.
- In a bowl, lightly toss the rapini (broccoli rabe), cipollini onions, garlic, and olive oil. Put the rapini and onions on a grill, turning over to ensure all sides are charred. Remove from the grill, put in a serving dish, garnish with toasted walnuts and drizzle chile honey.
NO PASTA EGGPLANT LASAGNA
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in skillet and cook garlic and onion until they become aromatic and begin to brown. Add stewed tomatoes and 1 tablespoon dried oregano. Once tomatoes begin to bubble, stir in tomato paste. Reduce heat to low, add salt and pepper to taste, cover and let simmer lightly while you continue. Slice eggplant lengthwise in 1/4-inch slices. Spread out eggplant on a rimmed cookie sheets sprayed lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Salt the slices generously on both sides, sprinkle with thyme, and lightly brush (fingers are fine) with the remaining oil olive. Roast eggplant in oven until tender and slightly browned. If using yellow squash, also roast briefly until soft and pliable. Remove and let cool enough to handle. Reduce oven to 375°F. Meanwhile, stir together ricotta cheese, egg, remaining oregano, and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. In a 12x9-inch baking dish spread 1/4 cup of tomato sauce. Cover with 3 or 4 eggplant slices, then half of the roasted peppers, and then a third of the ricotta cheese mixture, followed by a third of the mozzarella. Sprinkle half the basil over cheeses, and then spinach and yellow squash (if using). Cover with more tomato sauce, eggplant, peppers, ricotta, mozzarella and basil. Top with remaining eggplant, tomato sauce, mozzarella, and any remaining Parmesan. Cover with foil and bake for about 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for about 15 minutes more or until cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown. Remove and let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
SPAGHETTI SQUASH LASAGNA (NO PASTA NOODLES)
A lower calorie and health version of an old favorite. Also known as how I got my son to eat Spaghetti Squash. Some times I tried to sneak in baby Portabella mushrooms, but DS never would eat when I did. Prep time doesn't include the cooking of the spaghetti squash which can be done in the microwave and takes about 13 minutes.
