CLASSIC LASAGNA



Classic Lasagna image

While not a 30-minute meal, this lasagna is quicker and more straightforward than most. If you're in a real time crunch, use your favorite jarred red sauce. For greater success with the lasagna noodles, which have a tendency to stick together, boil them in the largest pot possible or work in batches - they need as much water as possible to move freely so they don't clump. This lasagna can be assembled, baked and refrigerated up to five days ahead, or frozen up to a month ahead if wrapped tightly.

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound Italian sausage, sweet or hot (optional), casings removed
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 (28-ounce) can whole, peeled tomatoes
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds fresh mozzarella, grated or shredded into small pieces
16 ounces (2 cups) whole milk ricotta
1 cup coarsely grated Parmesan, plus more for sprinkling on top (optional)
1/4 cup heavy cream
Freshly ground pepper
1 pound dried lasagna noodles (not the no-boil variety)
Olive oil

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Heat oil in a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium heat. Add sausage, if using, and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's starting to brown but not yet crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Add onion and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is totally softened and translucent (without letting it brown), 8 to 10 minutes. Add tomato paste and continue to cook, stirring until the tomato paste has turned a deeper brick red color, tinting the oil and onions a fiery orange color, about 2 minutes.
  • Using your hands, crush the whole tomatoes into smaller, bite-size pieces and add them and the crushed tomatoes, stirring to scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pot. Fill one of the tomato cans halfway with water and add it to the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomato sauce has thickened and flavors have come together, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Make the lasagna: Heat oven to 375 degrees and set a large pot of salted water to boil.
  • Set aside 1 cup mozzarella. In a medium bowl, combine remaining mozzarella, ricotta, 1 cup Parmesan and cream; season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Cook lasagna noodles in the large pot of salted boiling water until just softened (before they are even aldente), about 4 minutes. Drain and separate any noodles that are trying to stick together, slicking them with a bit of olive oil to prevent them from sticking further.
  • Spoon a bit of sauce on the bottom of a 3-quart baking dish and top with a layer of noodles, avoiding any heavy overlap.
  • Top with about 1 ¼ cups of sauce, and dollop ¼ of the cheese mixture over. Top with another layer of noodles and repeat three more times, ending with the last of the noodles (depending on size of the noodle/shape of the baking dish, you may have a few extra noodles) and the last of the sauce. Top with reserved 1 cup mozzarella and more Parmesan, if you like.
  • Cover loosely with aluminum foil and place baking dish on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet (to prevent any overflow from burning on the bottom of your oven).
  • Bake until pasta is completely tender and cooked through and sauce is bubbling up around the edges, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove foil and increase temperature to 450 degrees. Continue to bake until lasagna is golden brown on top with frilly, crispy edges and corners, another 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool slightly before eating.

SLOPPY LASAGNA, MY WAY



Sloppy Lasagna, My Way image

Saw a version of this on Rachael Ray's show, and made it even simpler for myself (cause I am a quick and painless type cook! LOL). When the title includes the word Sloppy in it, you know it truly is a gooey and sloppy meal! Enjoy!

Categories     Casseroles

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb lasagna noodles, those kinds you don't have to cook first
1 lb hamburger
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, grated (or more to taste)
4 clove garlic, minced
1 jar(s) tomato basil spaghetti sauce
1 jar(s) alfredo sauce (i prefer the one with garlic)
1 1/2 c parmesan cheese
1-1 1/2 c mozzarella, shredded (i used ricotta)

Steps:

  • 1. Break up the lasagna noodles. If you want to use the old fashioned kind that you have to boil, feel free, but these are so much faster! Brown the beef with onion and carrot, drain well, add garlic and red sauce. Combine ricotta and some of the parmesan, blend together. So let's put it together...
  • 2. Into the bottom of your baking dish (I use a deep 9x13), put a little of the red sauce and a splash of the alfredo. Toss in some pasta, evenly. Add some ricotta and parmesan blend in little spoonfulls which don't really have to be spread out. Sprinkle with a little Italian seasoning. Continue to layer. End with sauces on top.
  • 3. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 30 min. Since I don't like my mozzarella cheese crunchy, I wait until about 4-5 min before done and top it then. I sprinkle the parmesan on first, then the mozzarella.
