MISSY'S LAZY LASAGNA



Missy's Lazy Lasagna image

I made this recipe the other night, when my kids were wanting something quick and easy. We were craving lasagna, but I did not want to make my homemade version, as I needed something much quicker. So I threw this together; it was ready in less than 45 minutes. Heres another shortcut. We have a family of 7 so I buy ground...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 jar(s) spaghetti sauce
3 c mozzarella cheese, low-fat, shredded ( i like the larger shreds)
1 box lasagna noodles
1- 1/2 lb ground turkey or beef
2 Tbsp chopped onions

Steps:

  • 1. Brown the ground turkey and onion, and drain. Then you will cook the noodles accordin to the package. However, before you put them in the pot; break them up. You will want to break them in different shapes, just larger than bite size. Then cook.
  • 2. Then I take the sauce and meat and put them in the microwave bowl for a couple of minutes. Once the sauce is heated, you will somewhat layer the noodles like normal lasagna, then layer sauce/meat and then layer cheese. You will repeat this a total of three times. Then top with a nice layer of cheese. You can add a little parsley (my kids do not like so I did not add it this time). Back at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.

MISSY'S LASAGNA

This recipe use the no boil method for the noodles, a real timesaver! Try these variations for a multi-purpose recipe: substitute the ground beef with sweet Italian sausage, add frozen chopped spinach, or a half cup of frozen broccoli or cauliflower. For a white lasagna try an Alfredo sauce instead of the tomato sauce.

Time 3h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 pound sweet Italian sausage
¾ pound lean ground beef
½ cup minced onion
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 (6.5 ounce) cans canned tomato sauce
½ cup water
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons dried basil leaves
½ teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 ½ teaspoons salt, divided, or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
12 lasagna noodles
16 ounces ricotta cheese
1 egg
¾ pound mozzarella cheese, sliced
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven, cook sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until well browned. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Season with sugar, basil, fennel seeds, Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons parsley. Simmer, covered, for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain noodles, and rinse with cold water. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg, remaining parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • To assemble, spread 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange 6 noodles lengthwise over meat sauce. Spread with one half of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with a third of mozzarella cheese slices. Spoon 1 1/2 cups meat sauce over mozzarella, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers, and top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil: to prevent sticking, either spray foil with cooking spray, or make sure the foil does not touch the cheese.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.
