We
happened across a new to us place here in the area - Osborne Farms. They are a small cattle farm that raises
beef, and sells it locally. I was
happily surprised they also bring in one of my favorite brands of chicken,
Springer. So we purchased 10lbs of
ground beef, and they are single pound packages pre-frozen and just wanted to
try this out. Was delicious! Definitely going back.
Easy Lasagna with Squash Saute
Yield: 4
prep time: 30
cook time: 30
total time:1 Hour
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 can plum tomatoes (use an immersion blender)
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced, or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 tablespoons fresh parsley, or 4 teaspoons dried
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 tsp thyme
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 2/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 uncooked lasagna noodles
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to
350.
- Chop the onions and garlic,
set aside. Gather the rest of the
ingredients so they are ready to use.
- In a large skillet over
medium heat, add the ground beef, and begin breaking it up. Continue with this until the ground beef
is completely loose.
- Add the onion, and continue
cooking for 3-5 minutes. You want
to develop a small crusting on the beef and allow the onions to
soften. Add the garlic and
seasonings, and stir, continuing to cook for another minute.
- Add your blended tomatoes to the pan, stir to combine, and bring to a small simmer, while you grate the cheeses.
Assembly:
- Scoop a small bit of the
sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 pan, swoosh around the bottom. Layer in as many no-boil noodles as will
fit. Add 1-2 ladles full of the
sauce, smooth it out, then layer a small bit of mozarella, followed by the
parmesan. Repeat this procedure at
least 2 times, so there are three layers going in. If you need extra parm, by all means,
use it.
- Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes, until the cheese is starting to brown and the dish is bubbly. Allow to sit for 5 minutes before cutting in.
