Provided by Suzy

Categories     Main Course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (I used Private Reserve Greek extra virgin olive oil)
1 medium yellow onion, grated
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 carrots, finely grated (use a food processor or a grater)
28 oz canned crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup water (pasta cooking water, preferred)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp sweet Spanish paprika
Pinch red pepper flakes, optional
Handful fresh basil, about ½ cup packed, torn
Handful fresh parsley, about ½ cup packed, chopped
3/4 lb to 1 lb of cooked pasta of your choice

Steps:

  • In a large pan heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until just shimmering. Add the onions, garlic, and finely grated carrots. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring regularly until softened.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes and about 1/2 cup water. Add a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in oregano, paprika, crushed pepper flakes, if using. Finally, stir in the fresh basil and parsley.
  • Bring the sauce to a boil, then turn heat to low. Cover and let simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes. Check partway through, and if you feel the sauce is too thick, you can add a bit more water (preferably some of your pasta cooking water). When sauce is ready, throw in more fresh basil, if you like.
  • If serving for dinner, add cooked pasta of your choice to the sauce. Mix to combine and let the pasta cook in the sauce over low heat for about 5 minutes.

VICKI'S THREE-CHEESE GARLIC LASAGNA



Vicki's Three-Cheese Garlic Lasagna image

I started out with a lasagna recipe given to me by my sister-in-law probably 30 years ago. Through the years, I have changed just about everything and made this recipe my own. The original recipe didn't have any garlic in it at all, a small jar of mushrooms and only 8 oz of noodles. It also had less hamburger. Anyway, this one is mine and everyone who tries it loves it. My husband swears it's the best lasagna he has ever eaten! Please give it a try! You won't be sorry!

Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 11

1.75 lb - low-fat hamburger
24 oz - garlic & onion spaghetti sauce
15 oz - tomato sauce
1 large - white onion
8 oz - jar of sliced mushrooms
dash - salt to taste
1 tsp - garlic powder
16 oz - lasagna noodles, cooked
24 oz - cottage cheese
4 cups - mozzarella cheese
2 cups - mild cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Boil lasagna noodles per package instructions. Chop onion very fine. (I use my food processor on the CHOP setting).
  • While the noodles are boiling, brown the hamburger in a large skillet and drain the grease. Add the spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, onion, garlic, salt and mushrooms. Allow the sauce to cook together on medium low heat for at least 20 minutes to blend the flavors.
  • When noodles are finished cooking, rinse them thoroughly in cold water to prevent them from sticking.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a large lasagna casserole dish with nonstick spray.
  • Begin by adding a layer of noodles, overlapping them in the dish.
  • Then evenly spread on half of the cottage cheese.
  • Sprinkle on 2 cups of Mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
  • Next spoon on half the sauce mixture and spread evenly.
  • Repeat above steps beginning with the noodles and ending with the sauce mixture.
  • Top with 2 cups mild cheddar cheese.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes.
