Recipe: Mama Rosa's Lasagna de Carne


Bon Appetit Magazine, Dec 2021/Jan 2022, p.47
5 stars

This is one of the most interesting lasagnas we've made as the sauce calls for red bell pepper, cilantro and cumin (plus black olives and capers - but we didn't add these ingredients). It also was one of the best lasagnas we've ever made because hubby made the lasagna noodles from scratch. Great for a dinner party; will definitely be making it again.

Meat Sauce Ingredients: ground beef chuck, red bell pepper, onion, plum tomato, cilantro, parsley, black olives, capers, jar of marinara sauce, tomato paste, bay leaves, garlic, Italian seasoning, ground cumin, extra-virgin olive oil, black pepper, Kosher salt

Assembly Ingredients: dried lasagna noodles, ricotta, mozzarella, garlic, Italian seasoning, extra-virgin olive oil, black pepper,  Kosher salt

Tips:
  • Made red sauce from scratch instead of using a jar of marinara
  • Made fresh lasagna noodles
  • Used Impossible plant-based meat instead of ground chuck (also cut the amount in half from 2 lbs to 1 lb)
  • Used 3 garlic cloves instead of 5 so it wouldn't be too garlicky
  • Left out the black olives and capers
