Provided by Kardea Brown

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 medium onion, finely diced
1 small green bell pepper, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
1/2 pound ground chuck
2 cups leftover pasta sauce
One 6-ounce can tomato paste
Pinch sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 15-ounce carton whole milk ricotta
2 cups shredded Italian blend cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Vegetable oil, for frying
One 16-ounce box lasagna, cooked according to package directions and patted dry
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the Italian gravy: Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic and a pinch of salt and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sausage and ground beef and cook until the meat crumbles and is no longer pink. Add the pasta sauce, tomato paste, sugar, 1/3 to 1/2 cup water and salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sauce begins to thicken, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • While the gravy cooks, make the Parmesan bechamel: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook until the mixture bubbles and begins to smell nutty, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the Parmesan, garlic powder and Italian seasoning and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • To finish: Spoon the bechamel on top of the gravy. Add dollops of ricotta to the top and sprinkle with the cheese. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the pasta chips. Pour oil halfway up the sides of a very large cast-iron skillet and heat to 375 degrees F. Cut the cooked lasagna noodles into 2-inch rectangles. Fry the noodles in batches until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined wire rack and sprinkle with the garlic powder and salt while still hot.
  • Remove the dip from the oven, and serve with the pasta chips.

LASAGNA DIP AND CHIPS

Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Kosher salt
10 dry lasagna noodles
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking sheets
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
8 ounces ground beef
8 ounces bulk spicy breakfast sausage
One 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup cottage cheese
1/3 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella

Steps:

  • For the chips: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in the noodles and cook them according to the package instructions for al dente, typically about 8 minutes. Drain the noodles in a colander and transfer the cooked noodles to a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
  • Once cool, move the noodles to a cutting board and cut them into chips. To do this, cut a noodle in half shortways to make 2 pieces. Cut each of the 2 pieces in half shortways again to create 4 rectangles. Cut each rectangle diagonally to create 8 triangles. Repeat with the remaining noodles.
  • Place the noodle pieces in a bowl and toss with the Parmesan, olive oil and oregano.
  • Arrange the noodles on 2 baking sheets coated with cooking spray, making sure the noodles are in a single layer and not touching one another. Bake until crisp and golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Set aside.
  • For the dip: Raise the temperature of the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the beef and sausage until browned, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste and garlic to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Lower the heat and cook on low for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld and the sauce reduce slightly.
  • Meanwhile, mix the cottage cheese, ricotta, Parmesan and all but a pinch each of the basil and parsley in a medium bowl. Set the remaining herbs aside for garnishing the dip.
  • Spread half of the meat and sauce over the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish. Using a spoon, dollop half of the cottage cheese mixture over the sauce. Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella. Repeat with the remaining meat and sauce, cottage cheese mixture and mozzarella.
  • Bake until the mozzarella is fully melted and the dip is bubbly, 15 to 17 minutes. Serve hot in the casserole dish with the lasagna chips on the side. Garnish with the remaining basil and parsley.

Provided by TheOtherJuliaGulia

Categories     Pasta and Noodles     Pasta by Shape Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

9 ounces lasagna noodles
2 teaspoons olive oil
8 ounces 93% lean ground beef
8 ounces hot Italian pork sausage, casing removed
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 (16 ounce) jar marinara sauce
½ cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
¼ cup prepared basil pesto
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
½ cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again. Lay each noodle flat on a rimmed baking sheet and thoroughly pat dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and sausage; cook, stirring often and breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and wipe out the pan. Add remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and onion and cook until softened, about 2 more minutes. Add garlic and Italian seasoning; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in marinara sauce and cooked meats and remove from heat.
  • Dollop with ricotta cheese and pesto. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbly, 12 to 15 minutes. Let sit for 15 minutes before serving.
  • While dip sits, pour vegetable oil to a depth of 3 inches into a Dutch oven; heat over high heat to reach 360 degrees F (182 degrees C).
  • Cut each lasagna noodle into desired shapes. Add 8 to 10 pasta pieces, one at a time to avoid them sticking together, and cook, lightly tapping under the oil and stirring with a spider tool occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove using a spider or tongs to a paper towel-lined sheet tray, and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining pasta pieces, allowing oil temperature to reach back to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C) before adding the next batch.
  • Sprinkle dip with parsley and basil and serve with hot pasta chips.
