Lasagna
I love Pinterest, don't get me wrong. There are a lot of really great, fun ideas for recipes, party planning, decorating, crafting... you name it. But there are also a great many things that make me think "WHAT?!" Case in point:
Easy Lasagna Rolls. I give a big skeptical eyebrow raise to these. o_O
How on earth are these things easy?
You mean to tell me I have to:
1) Boil the lasagna noodles;
2) Lay each wet, slimy noodle on my counter;
3) Carefully and evenly spread a mixture of damp cheese and runny sauce along the center of each wet, slimy noodle; and
4) Roll each slippery, slimy wet composite into a neat little roll? Without getting cheese and sauce all over my counter?
Thank you Pinterest, for taking a deliciously simple casserole and making it as difficult as possible to create. I will not be making Lasagna Rolls anytime soon. However, I will make my Grammy's Wonnerful Resagna (as my brother dubbed it as a toddler) several times throughout the year. It truly is delicious AND simple.
Grammy's Wonnerful Resagna
Ingredients:
2 T olive oil
1 lb ground beef OR 1 lb sweet Italian sausage
1 small onion, minced
1 minced garlic clove
1 6oz can tomato paste
1 large can diced tomatoes
1 jar tomato sauce
2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 C fresh basil
1/2 tsp oregano
1T salt
4 quarts boiling water
1/2 lb lasagna
1/2 lb mozzarella, thinly sliced or shredded
3/4 lb ricotta cheese
1/2 C Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions:
Heat olive oil in pan. Add beef, onion and garlic; cook until browned. Add tomato paste, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and seasonings. Let simmer, covered, 1/2 hour.
(Short cut: brown your beef or sausage, drain, add jarred sauce)
Cook lasagna noodles as directed. Drain and lay noodles out on a dishtowel.
Even easier: use Barilla's No-Cook Lasagna Noodles. BOOM.
Cover the bottom of a 9"x13" baking dish with a layer of lasagna noodles.
Ladle on a layer of sauce, then spoon on a layer of ricotta and a layer of mozzarella.
Repeat: noodles, sauce, cheese. <- absolutely="absolutely" br="br" is="is" layering="layering" of="of" the="the" tidiness="tidiness" unnecessary.="unnecessary." your="your">
End with a final layer of lasagna noodles.
Put a final coating of sauce over the top.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 45 -60 minutes.
This lasagna freezes really, really well and is absolutely 100% simple and delicious. Enjoy!
