Use Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Put your lasagna in a baking dish and cover with foil. Allow your lasagna to warm for about 45 minutes to 90 minutes until the cheese is warm and bubbling. The amount of time you need to warm your lasagna depends on how long it’s been defrosted after being removed from the fridge.

Microwave Hack

You can also heat your lasagna in the microwave, however, you’ll need to pay special attention to how you do this. Place your lasagna in a microwave-safe dish and cover it with a damp paper towel to maintain its moisture before microwaving for 90 seconds. If it hasn’t been heated all the way through, heat for another 30 seconds.

Air Fryer

Using minimal oil, the air fryer is able to heat your lasagna faster than a conventional oven. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F and place your lasagna on aluminum foil before placing it into the air fryer. Heat for 10 minutes before checking the internal temperature and monitor regularly until ready.

The Ingredients

What you need to make Anne’s one-pan, stove-based lasagna are white onions, some garlic cloves, minced carrots, tomato sauce, ground beef, grated mozzarella, and last but not least—yellow cheese slices. Also, don’t forget to add your seasoning of choice – if you’re not sure what you like, opt for the usual Salt-N-Pepa.

The Process 

Follow Anne’s lead as you watch the video to sauté, layer, and stir, all the ingredients in just the right order. Onions and garlic come first, then carrot and beef, spices, sauce, yellow cheese, and finally, some mozzarella on top. Decorate with leafy greens for a fresh finishing touch, and you have a delicious one-pan lasagna. Can you believe you didn’t even need a stove to make it?

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 pound Italian sausage
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 cups marinara sauce
• 12 lasagna noodles
• 1 egg
• 1 ½ cups full fat cottage cheese
• ½ cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
• 3 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 cups baby Swiss cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt

Instructions:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Combine the ground beef, Italian sausage, and onion in a large, deep sauce pan. Cook over medium high heat, breaking apart the meat with a spatula, until no pink remains.
3. Drain any excess fat off the pan, then stir in the garlic, marinara sauce, oregano, salt and pepper. Heat through, then then reduce the heat to low, allowing the sauce to simmer. 
4. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt and swirl of oil. Add the noodles to the pot and cook for about 2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain noodles, then lay them out on aluminum foil. 
5. In a medium bowl, stir together the cottage cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Set aside.
6. Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of the pan and top with 4 noodles laid lengthwise. Spread half the cheese on top, followed by 4 more noodles. Spread half of the remaining sauce over the noodles, and then spread all of the cottage cheese mixture on top of the sauce, followed by 3 more noodles. Finish with the remaining sauce and cheese.
7. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until the cheese is melted and browned.

Make Extra Sauce

The last thing you want is a bite of lasagna that’s dry and burnt without enough sauce to add flavor to the noodles. That’s why we think it’s a great idea to make a bit of extra sauce that you can serve on the side for people to dollop onto any dry bites they get.

Let it Crisp

Let’s be honest; everybody’s favorite part of the lasagna is the crispy pieces you get in the corners. If you want to increase your lasagna’s crisp factor, cut your top pasta sheet(s) to be a little bit oversized so that the edges butt up against the casserole dish. They’ll get ultra crispy and delicious.

Get Layered

Have you ever noticed that restaurants tend to make lasagna with a ton of layers? Like 20 to 50? It’s a bit ambitious to try to pull that off at home, but you can try to do 8 to 10. That’ll make for a super fun bite.

If you enjoy something creamy, rich, and containing a white sauce, chances are that you might be eating this delicious French sauce without even knowing it. For example, these three dishes have been using Bechamel the whole time without you even being aware of it!

Baked Lasagna

Any traditional lasagna recipe from Italy will, without a doubt, include Bechamel as a part of its fillings. The mix of butter, flour, and cream adds a richness and a creaminess that melted cheese by itself is unable to provide.

Croquettes

Have you ever wondered exactly what that tasty filling inside these fried little guys is? Contrary to popular belief, it isn’t a neutral-flavored cheese, but rather Bechamel sauce, which is blended with other ingredients such as meats or veggies.

Scalloped Potatoes

One of our favorite comfort food side dishes is, without a doubt, scalloped potatoes. Baking potatoes in the oven with cheese and Bechamel sauce results in a filling, warming concoction that you are especially likely to find on dinner tables during cold weather.

The post 3 Recipes You Didn’t Know Contained Bechamel appeared first on Cooking 4 All.

Method

1. Thinly slice sweet potatoes either into disks or lengthwise. If you have a mandoline, this would be the time to use it.
2. Grease a baking dish with cooking spray or oil and lay down one layer of the sweet potatoes.
3. In a seperate bowl, combine ricotta cheese, an egg, parmsean cheese, salt, pepper, and oregano.
4. Spread some of the ricotta mixture on top of the sweet potatoes.
5. Put down another layer of the sweet potatoes and cover with more of the ricotta mixture. Continue until there is no ricotta left.
6. Lay down the last layer of sweet potatoes and cover with mozzarella cheese.
7. Bake the lasagna for about 30 minutes uncovered. If the mozzarella starts to get too brown cover it with aluminum foil.
8. Sprinkle over basil after it’s come out of the oven. Enjoy!
