What to serve with Lasagna?

Lasagna is really hearty and goes great with just a slab of bread or this air fryer garlic bread . For a cocktail, try this Limoncello Spritz . Start with a salad like this Peach Burrata Salad , a Classic Caesar with Caesar Salad Dressing without Anchovies , or a Spinach Arugula Salad . For dessert, serve these Tiramisu Cookies .

What is deconstructed lasagna?

Deconstructed lasagna is all of the classic, traditional ingredients for lasagna cooked all in one pot. Think of all the same taste and flavors, but without having to boil noodles, assemble individual layers & spreading cheese and extra dishes. Try these Deconstructed burger bowls too!

How to Store Lasagna:

Allow the Lasagna to come to room temperature in the pot. Transfer to a sealed container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the oven at 350 degrees on a foil lined cookie sheet until hot or heat in the microwave in 30 second increments. Cover with a paper towel to avoid a mess in the microwave. I suggest heating up extra marinara sauce to serve with the leftovers as the sauce continues to soak into the pasta and meat in the fridge.

Can I freeze leftover lazy lasagna?

Yes! I like to vacuum seal in individual servings and freeze. Use within 2 months. To reheat, allow the lasagna to thaw completely, then add into a pot and reheat with a lid on medium low heat or bake in the oven at 350 degrees until hot.

Instructions

Place a dutch oven on the stovetop over medium low heat. Add in the olive oil and allow it to heat up. Toss in the onion and salt and pepper and cook until softened, 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the ground beef and pork into the dutch oven and cook until it's no longer pink, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
Once the meat is browned, stir in minced garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Cook for 60 seconds.
Add in the broken lasagna noodles and pour the marinara sauce and 1/2 cup water over the noodles to cover the pasta. Cover the dutch oven with the lid and allow it to cook over medium low heat for 10 minutes.
While the lasagna is cooking, whisk the egg to scramble. Add in 3/4 cup of ricotta cheese into the egg and whisk until completely smooth with no chunks. Save the remaining ricotta for topping at serving. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Once the 10 minutes is up on the lasagna, pour the ricotta and egg mixture into the lasagna and stir well. Use a wooden spoon to make sure the lasagna isn't sticking to the bottom. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. Then, uncover, stir well and cover and cook for another 10 minutes.
Stir the lasagna and top with mozzarella cheese.
Place the lid on the dutch oven and bake covered in the 400 degree oven for 15 minutes. Uncover and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Top with fresh parsley and dollop on the extra 1/4 cup of ricotta in spoonfuls over the surface. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Don't overcook the meat. Once it begins to look no longer pink, you can add the garlic and spices. The meat will continue to cook in the sauce.
Stir with a wooden spoon and make sure the pasta isn't sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Have an extra jar of marinara sauce and warm up in separate pot for serving. Some people like a lot of sauce on their lasagna and it soaks up a bit when baking.
The easiest way to serve is using a metal spatula, just like regular lasagna and slicing into individual servings.
