Brennans Bistro Free Form Lasagna
Ingredients:
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried basil
– 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 12 lasagna noodles, cooked according to package instructions
– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the dried oregano and basil, cooking for an additional minute to release the herbs’ flavors.
3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
5. To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place a layer of cooked lasagna noodles on top, followed by a layer of the meat sauce, a sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
6. Repeat the layering process, finishing with a generous topping of cheese.
7. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
8. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
