Recipes:
Cheesy Baked Lasagna with Garlic Bread Rolls
Ingredients:
For the Lasagna:
1 lb ground beef
1 onion (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 jar marinara sauce (about 24 oz)
12 lasagna noodles
15 oz ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Garlic Bread Rolls:
6-8 dinner rolls
1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions:
Prepare the Lasagna Noodles:
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Make the Meat Sauce:
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the marinara sauce, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes to combine the flavors.
Prepare the Cheese Mixture:
In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, half of the mozzarella, Parmesan, and chopped parsley. Stir until smooth.
Assemble the Lasagna:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom. Place 3-4 lasagna noodles on top. Spread half of the cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by more meat sauce.
Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of noodles and the remaining meat sauce. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Prepare the Garlic Bread Rolls:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Mix melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley in a small bowl. Brush the mixture over the dinner rolls.
Place the rolls in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and fragrant.
Serve:
Once the lasagna is done, let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the garlic bread rolls on the side.
