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.
The difference in lasagna that makes it unique from other pasta dishes, is the fact that you don't have to cook the pasta before baking. The lasagna noodles can simply be layered along with the wet ingredients. It may take a little longer to bake, but your family need never know that the pasta wasn't cooked first.
Another great meat lasagna uses chicken and Alfredo sauce. In addition to the sauce and chicken, vegetables are also layered into the pan.
If you prefer the lasagna without meat choose red or white sauce and substitute vegetables such as zucchini, spinach or even carrots. The veggies give the lasagna a great taste and are much lower in fat than meats are.
If you're trying to cut back on the carbohydrates, try your traditional lasagna recipe using steamed cabbage instead of the pasta. The flavors are very close and might fool your taste buds.
To bake the lasagna, you need a casserole dish that is at least three to four inches deep. Because of the noodle's shape, rectangular and square pans work better.
If you are lacking the deep dish casserole dish, you should consider getting an aluminum pan that is disposable. You can find them at any of the grocery stores in your area.They also make it so that you can freeze some ahead of time for a dinner next week. Plus, they do make clean-up time a lot easier. - 30289
