Need Pastaless Lasagna receipe?
I tried to make a lasagna that was pastaless but even after letting it cool, it was just so runny. Maybe too much sauce? I want to try it agian but maybe with a different receipe. Does anyone have a good pastaless lasagna receipe that I can try. I have heard about using zucchini but is that complicated to cut and make? Thanks for any help.
The zucchini is easy to use. Cut in strips length wise. Lay strips on paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and let stand a few minutes. The salt draws out the moisture. Then pat dry. You can also dry-roast the zucchini before you use it if you want, but I find the salt method is easy if you want to reduce moisture. Also, you can cut back a bit on the other liquids in t her recipe.
I use frozen grilled eggplant. HEB carries it in their frozen veg section (I see you're in TX). It's already sliced. I make this once a week and my family loves it!
13x9 glass dish
1 jar red sauce
1 small container fat free ricotta
1 package turkey italian sausage
1/2 c turkey pepperoni
1/2 bag frozen grilled eggplant
1 c frozen pearl onions
1/2 bag frozen grilled red and yellow peppers
1 c 2% italian blend or mozzarella cheese, shredded
Preheat oven to 350. Remove turkey sausage from casing (if needed) and saute in pan until cooked through. Meanwhile, spray baking dish with cooking spray and add 1/2 jar red sauce to coat bottom. Layer eggplant, onions, peppers and pepperoni. Spoon ricotta evenly and layer with cooked sausage. Pour remaining red sauce over and top with shredded cheese. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly and cheese is melted.
This is so easy to prepare - no chopping and you don't need to thaw out the veggies!
I found this one on the internet and saved it... Not sure of the site now, but it is the one that Tsa mentioned that uses an egg noodle of sorts instead of pasta... Here it is!
