Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

ΒΌ cup olive oil
1 cup minced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound ground beef
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (14.5 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, chopped
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups cooked quinoa, divided
1 (8 ounce) container ricotta cheese
4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
4 ounces grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add beef; cook and stir until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, chopped tomatoes, oregano, and salt. Simmer sauce until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
  • Spread 1/4 of the sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Top with a 1/3 of the quinoa. Drop spoonfuls of ricotta on top of quinoa, and sprinkle 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on top. Repeat layers twice more, ending with sauce and Parmesan cheese on top.
  • Bake lasagna in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbly and top is golden, about 35 minutes.

The quinoa made this lasagna too dry. I think I'll use traditional lasagna noodles next time.

This lasagna was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.
