Provided by Christi Johnstone

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

48 oz Jar Spaghetti Sauce
30 oz Ricotta Cheese
2 Eggs
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tsp parsley (dried or finely chopped)
2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
12 lasagna noodles (do not need to be "no bake", regular are fine)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, eggs, parmesan cheese, parsley and one cup of mozzarella cheese. Mix until well combined.
  • To assemble lasagna, place 1 and 1/2 cups of spaghetti sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Gently place four lasagna noodles onto sauce. Most 13x9 inch pans will fit three noodles length (13" side) wise, and a shorter, broken noodle width (9" side) wise.
  • Add approximately 1/3 of the cheese mixture to the top of the noodles, and gently spread across noodles. Top cheese with 1 cup of sauce, then noodles, then cheese again. Repeat one more time, finishing with a final layer of sauce. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to stand for ten minutes prior to serving.

ONE-POT LASAGNA



One-Pot Lasagna image

What a quick and easy lasagna! Since you're only dirtying one pot, it's great to throw together on a busy night. Cumin was an unusual spice, but it blends lovely with the other spices. The cream cheese makes the sauce super creamy. It's so flavorful, I bet no one will even be able to tell this lasagna is made with ground turkey....

Provided by Ashley Dawkins

Categories     Turkey

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb ground turkey
1/2 pkg cream cheese
1 c mozzarella cheese, shredded
mozzarella, to sprinkle
3 c marinara sauce
5-6 slice oven ready lasagna noodles
SPICES:: TO TASTE
1 Tbsp basil, dried
1 Tbsp garlic (powder or fresh)
1 Tbsp sea salt
1 Tbsp black pepper
1 Tbsp minced onion
1 tsp cumin

Steps:

  • 1. In a Dutch oven, or other pot able to use on stovetop and oven, cook the ground turkey with minced onion, garlic and basil.
  • 2. Once the turkey is cooked, add the remaining spices and the marinara sauce and simmer on low for 30 minutes.
  • 3. Add in the cream cheese and let it melt down until the mixture is creamy.
  • 4. Then introduce the mozzarella and let it let it thicken. Once the two soft cheeses have combined, use your spoon/spatula to push aside the turkey mixture and lay one of your noodles down.
  • 5. Then push the turkey back over top of the noodle and lay the next noodle down and cover that up, forming the bottom layer of your lasagna.
  • 6. Sprinkle some mozzarella down and then place remaining noodles on top of your turkey and cheese mix. Sprinkle with additional cheese to help it hold together.
  • 7. Place in the oven on 350* for 30 minutes with the cover and then an additional 10 minutes with out the cover to crisp the cheese. *I also threw a light dusting of garlic powder, pepper, and salt on top to melt in with the cheese.
  • 8. Slice off a piece, grab some garlic bread and enjoy!
