Viewed: 27 - Published at: 7 years agoIngredients
- 1-1/2 qt. ricotta cheese (can be replaced with tofu
- mixture of your choice)
- 1-1/2 lb. ground beef (or in my case MorningStar Farms
- LightLife, Veggie Crumbles)
- 1-1/2 lb. ground sausage (again, in my case it would be LightLife Gimme Lean Ground Sausage style
- 2 lb. shredded Mozzarella cheese (they do offer vegan cheeses)
- 2 cloves garlic, diced
- 2 qt. tomato sauce
- 4 sprinkles Goya Adobo (1 per layer)
- 2 handfuls shredded Parmesan cheese (again, they do offer vegan version)
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 pepper, diced
- 2 handfuls fresh spinach leaves, shredded
- 2 lb. lasagne (store-bought
- home made)
- 1 egg
- 2 dashes black pepper
- 4 dashes oregano (2 dashes every other layer)
- 2 dashes ground fresh parsley (1 dash every layer)
- Salt, to taste
Method
- Bring water to a boil with a teaspoon of olive oil and a dash of salt, add noodles let cook until al dente.
- Meanwhile, in large mixing bowl add ricotta, egg and 2 dashes black pepper; mix well with wooden spoon and set aside.
- When noodles are done, strain and immediately rinse with cool water (to keep from sticking).
- Dice onion, pepper and garlic cloves.
- Shred spinach leaves.
- Put sauce into medium size bowl, then add the onion, pepper and garlic and mix well.
- Put large skillet over medium/high heat.
- Add ground beef and sausage; (...........or the veg version of "meat") cook until browned.
- Pre-heat the oven to 350F.
- In large 10-1/2x13-inch baking pan, add a thin layer of sauce then layer noodles lengthwise, leaving no spaces.
- Add another layer of sauce, a layer of "meat", a layer of ricotta cheese (...or as stated above substitute), a layer of Mozzarella "Cheese", a sprinkle of Goya Adobo, a thin layer of spinach leaves, a layer of parsley and oregano, a layer of shredded Parmesan "Cheese" and more sauce.
- Continue building layers until just above the top of the pan, ending with a noodle layer, sauce and Mozzarella "Cheese" on top.
- Place in oven and bake for 45 minutes.
- When done, immediately remove and place on cooling surface for half an hour until cooled (or it will ooze all over the place when cutting).
- Have Fun!!
