We're making a lasagna for dinner this week. The lasagna itself is not a lot of work but the sauce is so be sure to do this ahead of time (recipes via the links in the recipe below).
Lasagna is basically just layers of whatever flavors and stuffings you like, stacked up between flat ribbons of pasta and baked.
As certain cartoon cats can attest, it's delicious!
INGREDIENTS
1 box lasagna pasta (we're using a diabetic friendly whole wheat version)
1/2 pound shredded ozzarella
1/2 grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon olive oil
24 oz. Sunday Sauce
16 oz. spinach cream sauce
1 pound Italian sausage
1/cup ricotta cheese
In a sauce pan, cook the Italian sausage until cooked through and browned. Pour in the tomato sauce (Sunday Sauce) and mix thoroughly. Let boil for a couple of minutes.
In a square or rectangular baking pan, put in the olive oil. With a paper towel, wipe all interior surfaces with the oil so it is well coated. Put in two lasagna noodles, side by side.
(NOTE: We're using a whole wheat version that does not need cooking ahead of time but many lasagna noodles do need to be boiled in water until al dente first)
Spoon in just enough of the tomato Sunday Sauce to cover the pasta completely. Put a handful of mozzarella over the sauce.
Put two more noodle on top of that. Press down and try to make level and flat. Sprinkle a layer of Parmesan, then a layer of the spinach cream sauce.
Two more pastas, and another layer of the tomato sauce with a layer of ricotta. Two more pastas and another layer of the Parmesan and spinach cream sauce. Two more pastas, the rest of the mozzarella.
Cover and tent (with an air space between the top of the lasagna and foil) with foil.
Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 20 minutes.
