*WATCH* Easy Peasy Lasagna
I recently posted a quick video of this super easy lasagna to IG and the response was great, here’s a spot you can revisit time and again to find the recipe. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey
1 box brown rice lasagna- I like Jovial best
1 jar large jar marinara - I enjoy Rao’s best
1 container Kite Hill ricotta
1 beaten egg
3 tbsp chopped fresh basil
1 tbsp dried parsley
Salt & pepper
1/2 bag of vegan shredded mozzarella- today I used Just Like Mozzarella brand
Get cooking:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and cook according to package - for me this was 4 minutes. Once noodles are cooked drain, rest in a single layer on an oiled baking sheet or a kitchen towel while you finish cooking.
Saute ground turkey until brown in a large skillet, about 7-10 minutes.
Grease an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish. A 13x9 will be too large for this, double the recipe if you like!
Add 3/4 cup marinara to the bottom of dish.
Add remaining marinara to the ground turkey. If you want to doctor up your sauce add some dried oregano, garlic powder or onion powder to taste.
To a large bowl, mix together the Kite Hill ricotta, egg, parsley, basil and a nice pinch of salt and pepper.
Start building the lasagna- on top of the bottom sauced layer add noodles to cover the bottom, top with half of the ricotta, top ricotta with half of the meat sauce. Repeat with noodles, ricotta and meat sauce.
Once compiled, top with shreds. Just a nice layer don’t go overboard as this cheese doesn’t melt the same as dairy cheese.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake covered for 30 minutes, remove foil and finish baking for 15 minutes.
I top mine with red pepper flakes and extra fresh basil but you could also sprinkle parmesan cheese if that suits you, enjoy!
