Classic Lasagna is great for feeding a crowd, and also freezes well for new mom meals and quick thaw dinners.
Steps to make Lasagna:
- Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 13x9 pan including on the sides. Boil water in a large stock pot.
- Boil lasagna noodles according to package (typically 9 minutes). Drain and immediately run cold water over them.
- I like to lay my noodles out on parchment paper to ensure they stay flat as I'm working.
- Spread thin layer of sauce (approximately one ladle full) on bottom of pan.
- Arrange 4 noodles in pan, slightly overlapping, to start first layer.
- Add 1/2 Filling for Lasagna (available in my recipes). I use a melon baller to scoop it into a grid of 12 (3x4) and then spread evenly out with the back of a spoon. Just makes for easy quick and even distribution.
- Sprinkle grated mozzarella, grated parmesan, and fennel seeds over filling mixture.
- Use approximately 1.5-2 ladles of sauce to cover 1st layer. Spread evenly with back of spoon.
- Repeat assembly for 2nd layer. (4 noodles, other half of ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, fennel seed, sauce)
- Last layer, add final 4 noodles, cover with sauce, generously cover with mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.
- Cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake 45 minutes. Remove foil. Increase oven temp to 400°. Bake 15 minutes more. Remove and let cool 45 minutes to set.
- (optional): I usually double the recipe, assembling two. I put one in the oven. The other, I add the foil, then wrap the entire pan over and under well with saran wrap, and freeze it. I remove to refrigerator the day before I want to bake it, discard the saran wrap, and bake it the same as above.
I've been making lasagna for a long time, and there are quite a few variables to play with. From Italian lasagna (and its plural lasagne), possibly from Vulgar Latin *lasania, from Latin lasanum ("cooking pot"), from Ancient Greek λάσανον (lásanon, "trivet or stand for a pot"). Others argue the Italian lasagna originally derived from the Arabic لَوْزِينَج (lawzīnaj, "almond cake"). For everybody that loves to cook lasagna at home!
