If you love lasagna and want something with a rich taste this is it! This recipe is a little different than traditional lasagna...I got bored w/the normal cottage cheese or ricotta recipe and came up with this one! My boyfriend absolutely loves it and asks me on regular basis to make it again! Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef |
3 gloves minced garlic |
1/2 box barilla 'ready for oven' lasagna noodle (or brand of your choice) |
1 (24 ounce) jar plain spaghetti sauce (again, i used barilla) |
1 (24 ounce) jar 3 cheese blend spaghetti sauce (you guessed it, barilla) |
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened |
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese |
4 cups grated mozzarella cheese |
2 eggs |
2 tablespoons oregano |
2 tablespoons parsley |
1 tablespoon garlic powder |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375. Spray bottom of casserole dish (I use 13X9, can use larger). Brown hamburger meat in pan, add 3 gloves garlic before fully browned. Drain any fat. Stir in jar of plain spaghetti sauce and 1/2 jar of 3 cheese blend sauce. Heat til warm/bubbly.
2. In large bowl, combine cream cheese, ricotta, parmesan, 3 1/2 C mozzarella, and 2 eggs. Add oregano, parsely, and garlic powder. Stir until combined, mixture will be thick.
3. To assemble lasagna, pour 1/2 C remaining 3 cheese blend sauce onto bottom of pan. Place 3-4 lasagna noodles on top of sauce, overlapping edges of pasta a little, spread 1/2 cheese mixture onto pasta, top with meat sauce, repeat. Pour remaining 1/2 C 3 cheese blend sauce onto top layer of noodles, top with remaining 1/2 C mozzarella. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool about 10 minutes and enjoy!
