Best 30 Minute Lasagna Bowls Recipes

TWO SAUCE WEEKNIGHT LASAGNA BOWLS

Steps:

• Heat large pot of water to a boil, salt water and cook pasta to al dente.
• While pasta water comes to a boil, heat olive oil in a medium sauce pot over medium-high heat, add pancetta and render 2 to 3 minutes then add meat and break up as it browns. When the meat has begun to caramelize and develops a nice brown color, 4 to 5 minutes, add carrot, onion, 2 cloves of garlic, allspice, salt and pepper and a bay leaf. Cook 3 to 4 minutes more to soften onions and carrots bits then stir in tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, then stir in wine and cook out 1 minute then stir in stock and reduce heat to simmer.
• While red sauce cooks, cut remaining whole clove of garlic and rub the inside of a medium sauce pot with it. Melt butter in pot over medium heat. Add in flour and whisk together a minute or so then whisk in milk and bring to a bubble, reduce heat then season sauce with salt, pepper and nutmeg, thicken 8 to 10 minutes.
• Toss pasta with white sauce and 1/2 cup grated cheese. Serve pasta in individual bowls and top with a ladle of meat sauce in the middle of the bowl for mixing in. Garnish with parsley.

BAKED LASAGNA BOWLS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375°. Boil the pasta 1 minute less than the package instructs for al dente.
• Mix the herbs into the ricotta cheese and set aside 4 tbsp.
• Drain the pasta well. Mix in 3 cups of the sauce and all but the reserved 4 tbsp. of the ricotta cheese. Divide the mixture into 4 servings (just eyeball it). Into 4 ~20-oz. oven-safe bowls, layer 1/4 cup of sauce, 1 serving of the pasta/sauce/ricotta mixture, another 1/4 cup of sauce, and 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp. of Parmesan cheese.
• Set the bowls onto a baking sheet and place into the oven. Bake for 15 minutes, or until bubbly. Remove from the oven and top each bowl with 1 tbsp. of the herbed ricotta. Sprinkle with a pinch of parsley, if you'd like. Serve.

30-MINUTE LASAGNA

Steps:

• Melt butter in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart pan over medium-high heat. Add flour and stir until bubbly. Remove pan from heat and gradually add milk, whisking until smooth. Return to heat and bring to a boil, stirring; then boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Season to taste with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
• Choose a small baking dish in which 2 egg roll wrappers will fit snuggly side by side. In dish, layer a fourth of the marinara sauce, two egg roll wrappers, a third of the Bechamel Sauce, a third of the mozzarella cheese, and a fourth of the Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers twice more, ending with marinara sauce, egg roll wrapper, and Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in a 500°F oven until lasagna is golden brown on top and sauce is bubbly around edges (about 15 minutes). Let stand about 5 minutes before cutting in fourths to serve.
