Hey everyone, it is John, welcome to my recipe page. Today, I will show you a way to make a distinctive dish, lasagna. One of my favorites. For mine, I’m gonna make it a little bit tasty. This is gonna smell and look delicious.
Lasagna is one of the most popular of recent trending meals in the world. It’s simple, it’s quick, it tastes yummy. It’s appreciated by millions every day. They’re nice and they look fantastic. Lasagna is something which I’ve loved my whole life.
Spread with one half of the ricotta cheese mixture. Cook noodles according to package directions; drain. This lasagna dish will become a regular in our household.
To get started with this recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can have lasagna using 7 ingredients and 12 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Lasagna:
- Take 12 Lasagna Noodles
- Make ready Sauce from my Foodi Hearty Pasta Sauce Recipe
- Get Filling from my recipe Filling for Lasagna or Stuffed Shells
- Make ready 1 lb block of Whole Milk Mozzarella (grated)
- Get Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Take Fennel Seed
- Take Chopped Parsley for garnish
Overlap one third of the noodles atop the sauce to cover the pan bottom. Spread all the cooked sausage over the noodles and spoon over another cup of sauce. Lay down the second third of noodles. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook and crumble beef and sausage until no longer pink; drain.
Steps to make Lasagna:
- Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 13x9 pan including on the sides. Boil water in a large stock pot.
- Boil lasagna noodles according to package (typically 9 minutes). Drain and immediately run cold water over them.
- I like to lay my noodles out on parchment paper to ensure they stay flat as I'm working.
- Spread thin layer of sauce (approximately one ladle full) on bottom of pan.
- Arrange 4 noodles in pan, slightly overlapping, to start first layer.
- Add 1/2 Filling for Lasagna (available in my recipes). I use a melon baller to scoop it into a grid of 12 (3x4) and then spread evenly out with the back of a spoon. Just makes for easy quick and even distribution.
- Sprinkle grated mozzarella, grated parmesan, and fennel seeds over filling mixture.
- Use approximately 1.5-2 ladles of sauce to cover 1st layer. Spread evenly with back of spoon.
- Repeat assembly for 2nd layer. (4 noodles, other half of ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, fennel seed, sauce)
- Last layer, add final 4 noodles, cover with sauce, generously cover with mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.
- Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake 45 minutes. Remove foil. Increase oven temp to 400°. Bake 15 minutes more. Remove and let cool 45 minutes to set.
- (optional): I usually double the recipe, assembling two. I put one in the oven. The other, I add the foil, then wrap the entire pan over and under well with saran wrap, and freeze it. I remove to refrigerator the day before I want to bake it, discard the saran wrap, and bake it the same as above.
Cook the noodles "al dente" so they'll still have quite a bite to them. When they're finished cooking, drain, rinse with cool water, and lay the noodles flat on a sheet of aluminum foil. Whether you are using a baking dish or a skillet, there needs to be an even layer of sauce covering the entire bottom of the pan before any of the other ingredients are added. Don't start layering noodles until you have some sauce underneath. Lasagna is one of the oldest types of pasta, a classic Italian favorite that consists of layered noodles, cheese, sauce and meat.
