Are you looking for great ideas for this week's dinners? Try a meat lasagna one night. This delicious dish of Italy is a great meal when combined with a lovely salad and some tasty bread.
What you get with a meat lasagna, is a marvelous mixture of a sauce with Italian spices, cottage or even ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese and ground beef.Just layer all these ingredients in a pan and cook it until the pasta is tender and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Different from other dishes with pasta lasagna can be baked without cooking the pasta before hand. Simply put the lasagna noodles in with all the wet ingredients as you layer it.It may have to bake a while longer, but it wont change how it tastes.
Another great meat lasagna uses chicken and Alfredo sauce. In addition to the sauce and chicken, vegetables are also layered into the pan.
Another way you could do lasagna, is with a red or white sauce using vegetables as a substitute for the meat. You could use zucchini, carrots and spinach as your veggies. It is a much healthier and lower fat chose, but it still tastes fabulous.
If you are craving lasagna but are cutting the carbohydrates, try using your traditional lasagna recipe but substitute steamed cabbage leaves for the lasagna noodles. The flavor of this casserole is reminiscent of traditional lasagna and may fool your taste buds.
For baking that lasagna you chose, you are going to need a casserole dish that is about three inches deep. You should also use a square or rectangular pan, due to the shape of the noodles.
A great thing to do if you do not have a deep dish casserole dish, is to find a deep dish disposable aluminum pan. You can get them at most grocery stores and there great for if you want to freeze a few lasagnas for a few weeks in advance. Well, let's be honest it's also easier to clean up.
On days when someone asks me What Can I Cook With The Ingredients I Have, I tell them Meat Lasagna! Fast and easy to make with items that I have in my pantry all the time!
