Lasagna for Two Recipe {Small Batch Lasagna}
today we are making small,batch lasagna it is the perfect amount,for two,and the perfect solution to too many,leftovers,hi i'm leanne from yourhomebasemom.com,and can i tell you,that one of the worst parts of being an,empty nester is,leftovers i am not a fan of leftovers,and when you're only cooking for two,leftovers can be a serious problem,sometimes this small batch lasagna,is the answer now a typical lasagna,recipe is usually made in a 9 by 13 pan,that is just way too much lasagna as,much as we love lasagna i don't want to,be eating it for days on end so this,recipe,uses a 9x5 loaf pan which is the perfect,amount of lasagna,for two let's get started we're going to,start with our meat mixture,and we're going to use a pound of ground,beef and i bet i've just got,that browning in here and we're going to,brown that along with a half of a cup of,chopped onion,i like to use my cheater onion which is,what you find in the freezer,section of the grocery store it's,already chopped for you ready to go,and then we're going to add in two,teaspoons of minced garlic,and then we'll just cook that all up,until the meat is browned through,once your meat is completely browned,through go ahead and drain off if,there's,an excess of fat or juice in there go,ahead and drain that off,and then we're going to add in our,tomatoes we're going to use a 15 ounce,can of tomato sauce,and a 15 ounce can of i like to use the,petite diced tomatoes,i'm going to combine that along with a,half a teaspoon of basil,a half a teaspoon of oregano a half a,teaspoon of sugar,and a quarter of a teaspoon of salt,we're going to mix that all together and,then we're going to let this meat,mixture,simmer and let it thicken up i like my,lasagna somewhat soupy,so i'm going to cook this until it,starts to thicken up but not too thick,i like there to be about three to four,cups of sauce to work with,so just put it on low and let it simmer,away all right well our meat sauce is,simmering away,we're gonna mix together our cheese,layer,and what we're going to use is we are,going to use a half a cup,of ricotta cheese and i like to use the,whole milk ricotta,put that into our bowl we're going to,add in a half a cup of,freshly grated parmesan cheese,we've got a teaspoon of dried basil,and then an eighth of a teaspoon of salt,and an eighth of a teaspoon of pepper,and then we're going to take one egg,that we've beaten up and add that in and,that kind of becomes our binder,we mix that all together,you want to make sure that egg gets nice,and mixed in there,okay and then we're ready to assemble,our lasagna all right once our meat,mixture is ready we've got our,cheese combined we are ready to assemble,our lasagna,now true confessions i have never been a,huge fan,of making homemade lasagna because i,hated boiling,the noodles to me that was the worst,part of the whole,thing and then i discovered oven ready,lasagna noodles you don't have to boil,them ahead of time,and they work great now if you can't,find these in your grocery,store of course you can boil noodles and,use those but if you're going to boil,noodles just make sure to boil them,until they're al dente,so there's still a little bit of,resistance to them because they are,going to continue to cook,when the lasagna cooks and you don't,want mushy,noodles so all right so we're going to,assemble our lasagna we've got our 9x5,a loaf pan and we're going to take some,of our meat mixture and just cover,the bottom of the pan probably about a,half an inch thick,i'd say i'm probably using a generous,half cup,a little bit more of sauce then we're,going to take one of our noodles and,just lay it on top and it's just the,perfect size,fits great in there we're going to take,our ricotta cheese mixture and we're,going to use a third of it okay because,we're going to make,three layers so spoon out a third,and just spread it over the top of your,noodle,then we're going to take our grated,mozzarella cheese and we're going to put,about a third of a cup,on top of the ricotta layer,and then we're just going to repeat the,process we're going to do sauce,noodle ricotta cheese again we just want,to make sure that we end,the process with sauce on top and a,final little,topping of cheese,okay so we've got the sauce at the top,we're going to finish it off with a,remaining,mozzarella and then,last but not least we're going to take,about a quarter cup of grated parmesan,cheese,and sprinkle it over the top and it is,going to be ready to go,into a 350 degree oven but first we're,gonna cover it with a piece of foil,okay we're gonna cover it with a piece,of foil but it's a 400 degree oven,another 350. so,we're going to cover this and cook it,for about 30 minutes,and then we're going to take the foil,off and cook it for another,10 15 minutes until the lasagna is kind,of set up,it's gonna be nice and hot and bubbly,around the edges the cheese will be,melted and just starting to turn a,golden brown,then you know it's done all right our,lasagna is out o
