AMANDA'S "ALMOST FAMOUS" LASAGNA
I call this recipe "almost famous" because my family requests this lasagna almost as much as my famous Skirt Steak with Chimichurri Sauce! I'm a huge fan of keeping recipes classic when they're perfect as is, and lasagna is no exception. It's all about the meat/red sauce/cheese ratio. (We go heavy on the meat and cheese.) And the noodles? I love the no-boil version, whether they are made with flour or Gluten Free. (For gf, I like the Jovial brand.) If this becomes a hit in your house, you can always double the recipe and freeze one for a busy weeknight!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large saute or sauce pan, warm the oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and spread it around the bottom of the, allowing it to brown before turning with a spoon. If it's easier, break up the sausage with a potato masher while it is in the pan to form bit-sized pieces. Continue to cook and stir until it is just cooked through, about 5-8 minutes.
- Add all of the tomato sauce except a few tablespoons. (The reserved sauce will coat the bottom of the lasagna pan.) Stir to combine the sausage with the tomato sauce, then simmer for 10-15 minutes until the flavors meld. Taste, adding salt if necessary. (Many times the sausage has plenty of seasoning already.)
- While the sauce simmers, make the cheese filling. In a medium mixing bowl, combine three cups of the mozzarella with the ricotta and 1/2 cup of the grated parmesan. Stir to combine. Taste, adding a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper if needed.
- Add the egg to the mixture and stir to incorporate.
- Place the remaining cup of mozzarella and the remaining 1/4 cup of parmesan in a small bowl and toss to combine. Set aside.
- To build the lasagna, spread the reserved tablespoons of tomato sauce across the bottom of a 8 X 12 or 9 X 13 baking dish. Place 4 of the lasagna noodles crosswise, allowing them to overlap a bit if necessary. (If the noodles you are using cover the length of the pan, place 3 of the noodles lengthwise to create the first layer.)
- Drop ½ of the ricotta cheese mixture in spoonfuls across the noodles. Spread it out evenly with a spatula or even use your hands if necessary to create a fairly even layer. Pour 1/3 of the meat sauce over the cheese and spread with a spatula to cover.
- Repeat with another layer of noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, and ⅓ of the meat sauce.
- Add the final layer of noodles, then the remaining sauce, ensuring the noodles are totally covered with the sauce.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and parmesan over the entire lasagna.
- Cover the pan tightly with a piece of aluminum foil. Place it on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes. Lift a corner of the foil and insert a knife in the lasagna. If it easily punctures the noodles, remove the foil and bake another 5 minutes until bubbly. If not, cover it again and cook for another 5-10 minutes.
- Allow the lasagna to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- For the Sauce: Heat a sauce pot with the olive oil. Add the onions and garlic and sauté on medium low until the onion is transparent. Add the crushed tomatoes and the chicken broth and continue to simmer on low. Add all of the seasonings and simmer on low; partially covered. For Lasagna: Preheat Oven 325 degrees: Sauté the ground beef in a frying pan and then drain any fat and set the ground beef aside. Boil the potatoes with the skin until fork tender; then let cool; slice and set aside.. Heat a large frying pan with two tablespoons of olive oil and sauté the zucchini slices until slightly golden; then set aside. Combine the yogurt, milk and all the seasoning and lemon juice. Briskly stir with a fork. Add the yogurt combination to the sautéed ground beef and toss. Drizzle two tablespoons of olive oil at the bottom of a baking pan and lay out a layer of potato slices. Spoon the ground beef mixture on top of the potatoes and then spoon the tomato sauce and grate cheese on top. Next, layer the zucchini and repeat with the potatoes and continue until everything is used up. Finish with the sauce and grated cheese. Bake 35-40 minutes.
ALMOST LASAGNA - RACHAEL RAY
This is a recipe from Rachael Ray. I have not tried it but it looks great! Easier than lasagna, because it's not, this pasta, meat sauce and ricotta toss-up is just as hearty and comforting as the layered Italian fave, but it's ready in a fraction of the time and with much less effort.

Steps:
- Heat a large pot of water to boil for pasta. Salt water and cook pasta to al dente. Heads up: you will need a ladle of the starchy cooking water to help form sauce before draining.
- Heat a deep nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan. Add the meat and break it up into small bits as it caramelizes. Once meat has good color to it, 4 to 5 minutes, add garlic, onions and red pepper flakes and season with salt, pepper, allspice and Worcestershire sauce. Cook another 5 minutes, deglaze the meat and onions with red wine, cook off a minute, then combine about 1/2 cup of stock into the meat. Stir in the tomatoes and bring to a bubble. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer 5 minutes.
- Place ricotta cheese in the bottom of a shallow bowl. Add a ladleful of boiling, starchy pasta water to the ricotta and stir to combine. Add a couple of handfuls of grated Parmesan to the ricotta and mix it inches.
- Drain pasta. Toss hot pasta with cheeses. Add half the thick meat sauce to the pasta bowl and combine. Tear or shred the basil and add to the meat and pasta, toss again. Taste to adjust salt and pepper. Serve bowlfuls of Not-sagna with extra sauce on top and more grated Parmesan to pass at the table.
