Yummy Homemade Lasagna image

This is the best lasagna I have ever made! I was out of ricotta cheese one day (I've never been a fan of ricotta anyways) but I had some cottage cheese in the fridge so decided to substitute that for the ricotta. Oh my that was the best decision I could have made. This recipe has gotten me so many compliments and I've been told...

YUMMY PEACH LASAGNA



Yummy Peach Lasagna image

This is sooo good, with a scoop of ice cream right outta the oven! My Gram always made this, smells so good while cooking...Italians version of bread pudding..

Provided by Cassie *

Categories     Breads

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 c peaches, peeled and sliced
zest of 1 lemon
juice of 1 lemon
approx, 8 slices of bread
1/2 c sugar
butter for toasted bread
cinnamon sugar, enough to sprinkle between layers, use as much as you want
TOPPING
1/3 c flour
1/4 c sugar
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
4 Tbsp butter, room temperature
pinch of salt

Steps:

  • 1. If you're not using fresh lemon juice, use about 3 Tbsp. of lemon juice. On bread: you'll need enough slices of bread to be two layers in the baking dish. Use good, crusty, country bread. preheat oven to 350
  • 2. Peel and slice peaches in thin segments and place in medium to large bowl. Add zest of lemon and lemon juice. Add 1/2 c. sugar and toss to coat all the peaches. Do not skip the lemon juice - it doesn't really impart much of a lemony flavor, but it will keep the edges of the peaches from browning and looking unappetizing. Set aside.
  • 3. Take an 8x8 baking dish and figure out how many slices of bread you'll need to make two layers of bread. Toast that many slices. Butter both sides. Make a layer of double-buttered toast in the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Make a layer of peaches on top of the toast. Use about half the peaches. Make another layer of double-buttered toast on top of the peaches. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Make a layer of peaches on top of the toast. Pour over any juice.
  • 4. In a small bowl, combine 1/3 c. flour, 1/4 c. sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt. Cut the butter into small pieces and work the mixture together with your fingers until the mixture is well combined and looks like streusel topping you'd find on a coffee cake. Put the crumb topping as the top layer. Bake at 350°F for 1 hour. Serve warm, with ice cream.

1 pound sweet Italian sausage
3/4 pound lean ground beef

2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 (6.5 ounce) cans canned tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Drain noodles, and rinse with cold water. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg, remaining parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. 3.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). 4.To assemble, spread 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
