Lasagna by Ms. Marie a new twist to an old standard.

 

"Ms. Marie"

Old JB here has been making Lasagna for over 40 years and was first introduced to Lasagna by my mother-in-law who could really bake up a delicious dish. Over the years I thought I had tried just about every trick in the book, many variations and all usually really good. The only thing I have not done is to make the noodles homemade, that still is in my future.

So, I had a dinner invite from the most beautiful lady I will call Ms. Marie. She said she was making Lasagna, and so I was very curious as to her recipe.


Once she started talking about how she makes it I was scratching my head pretty good. Did not really make sense to me, cilantro in Lasagna? Cream cheese in Lasagna? Peppers? And the list goes on.

I will say that it turned out to be probably the best version of Lasagna I have ever had and the ingredients are not the usual.

Here I will post a pic of what you will need. Not including measurements, I would just do equal parts of each, add more of what you like. (not heavy on the carraway, thyme, basil and rosemary)



The Meat Sauce

The sauce is a meat sauce with 3 cans San Marzano tomatoes, two cans petite diced tomatoes slow cooked for 8 to 10 hours slow simmer. Add basil, oregano, salt pepper. The meat is a mix of 96% lean burger and Italian sausage. Cook the meat with one chopped white onion first then add to the slow cooker.

Chop and dice 3 peppers, 1 yellow, 1 red, and 1 orange, add with the meat sauce.

The cheese mixture is as follows.

Equal parts cream cheese, sour cream, and ricotta. Put in bowl add a little parsley, cilantro, oregano, and a little garlic juice. Mix, then put in a zip lock bag. Chill, when ready cut the bag at the bottom and squeeze in the lasagna tray while layering,

You will also need 2 bags of motz and parm.

For layering start with a light sauce on the bottom

Then noodles, then motz and parm, then layer of cheese sauce, noodles, then repeat.

Cook for 25 min at 425 covered. When it comes out top with motz and parm, re cover with foil. Let stand on top of oven for 10-15 minutes.

Some variations according to Ms. Marie is to add mushrooms and black olives put in sauce. A good idea is to Sautee the mushrooms first.

Also you can change up the cheese from bagged to fresh or homemade, Just make sure the motz is whole milk.

You can also make this vegitarian by simply leaving out the burger and sasuage.

Try this recipe, it is awesome!

Keto Pasta. Jims Lasagna Recipe with homemade low carb noodles.



Ok Folks! Here is a delicious lasagna recipe that is fairly traditional with the exception of the noodles which are home made very low carb perfect for a low carb/Keto diet plus lots of protein.
First to make the noodles.


½ cauliflower riced in a food processor
1 ½ cup almond flour
1 ½ cup coconut flour
2 eggs and basil
1 cup of parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup of water


To prepare: After ricing the cauliflower in a food processor put the riced cauliflower in a bowl, covered and cook in the microwave for 6 minutes. Then put it in a tea towel and strain all the water you can out of the cooked, riced, cauliflower. This is a fairly traditional method of preparing cauliflower for a variety of Keto low carb dishes.

Next add the cauliflower the remaining ingredients and mix well. Add basil and garlic powder, as much or as little as you like. Hand press the dough into a ball. The dough will be a bit crumbly but when pressed it will hold together. Get a large baking cookie pan/sheet and cover it with parchment paper. Then place the dough in the center of the pan and place another sheet of Parchment Paper over the dough. Now simply take a rolling pin and roll out the dough as thin as possible covering the entire pan. 

When finished, remove the top paper, preheat oven to 375, and bake for 20 minutes.
Once done, take out and place on a cooling rack. GREAT TIP!!! When cutting the cooked dough place the dough on top of two cooling racks, but have the racks separated about an inch. This will create a grove where you can cut the scissors and still have support on both sides of the noodle. This will help prevent breaking and works very well! Once done, leave the noodles on the baking rack until you are ready to assemble.

The rest of the recipe is mostly traditional.


Meat Sauce:
2 cans san Marzano tomatoes
One can tomato sauce
3 teaspoons of tomato paste
Fresh chopped tomatoes if you can get them
1 pound of each//Ground veal, beef, and port
5 cloves fresh garlic crushed
2 cups fresh basil
Salt, pepper, garlic powder as much or as little as you like
1 cup red wine
2 cups water

To prepare simply brown and drain the beef then add all the ingredients. Simmer first 30 minutes uncovered, the cover and let cook on low for several hours.


Assembly

1 large container of ricotta
Fresh parm
Enough fresh motz to cover each layer.



Bottom layer. Spread enough meat sauce to cover a deep lasagna pan. Then cover the meat sauce with a layer of Motz. Next put your 3 noodles on top of the motz. Next pour meat sauce over the noodles, then ricotta over the meat sauce, then motz over the ricotta, then another layer of 3 noodles. Repeat this for as big as your pan is or for how many ever noodles you have.
On the final top layer top with a little ricotta, motz, basil and parm cheese.
Bake in the oven at 375 for 45 minutes.


Truly as delicious Lasagna that is high protein and extremely low carb.

Conclusion: Does this noodle substitute taste exactly like an original lasagna noodle?? No it does not. But then again, a real noodle does not have really any flavor. These low carb noodles actually do have a great flavor that adds to the dish, and these home-made noodles hold up well. The only difference I see is the consistency of the noodle. A real noodle is a bit slick even after it is cooked, where these are not. That is about it. But honestly, this dish is so good if you have a lasagna craving and you want to stay on a low carb diet, this does work great. It is very satisfying. My wife is Italian and is a true Italian food snob. She really loved this dish. That says something right there.
NOTE: When you make home made noodles, plan ahead, because it does take time. You could even skip the cauliflower in the recipe and just add more of the other flours. Precook the day ahead. This would save a lot of time on the day of cooking. Cheers JB
