1. Crock Pot Lasagna
Sit back, relax, and let your crock pot do the cooking with Food.com’s

2. Four-Cheese Lasagna
For a supremely cheesy pasta dish, turn to Kraft’s four-cheese lasagna. To
add even more meat to the meal, make your own spaghetti sauce, like this
hearty spread from Taste of Home, or purchase an already made meat
sauce.

Ground meat is only one potential protein for your lasagnas. Paula Deen
demonstrated on the Food Network how delectable pairing seafood — like
shrimp and scallops — with your baked noodles can be. Follow Deen’s
instructions to a T and you’ll have easy clean up, too, since it bakes in
aluminum foil pans instead of a casserole dish.
Ingredients:
12 lasagna noodles
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2½ cups half-and-half
1 cup grated Romano
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
¾ pound sea scallops, cut in half or quartered if very large
¾ pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
½ cup grated Parmesan
Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 13-by-10-inch
aluminum foil pan with vegetable oil cooking spray. In a large pot of boiling
salted water, cook the lasagna noodles until they are just done, about 8
minutes. Drain and set aside.
Melt the butter in a large, heavy skillet and cook the onion over low heat until
very soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook about 1 minute more.
Over medium-low heat, stir in the flour with a whisk, then gradually add the
half-and-half, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly before adding more. When
the sauce has thickened to about the consistency of whipping cream, add the
cheese and stir well. Add the salt and pepper and stir again. Add the
scallops and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, then add the shrimp and cook for
1 to 2 minutes or just until the shrimp turn pink. Turn off the heat.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the sauce from the skillet into the prepared
pan. Cover the bottom of the pan with 4 noodles, placing them side by side.
Spoon ⅓ of the sauce over the noodles, distributing half of the seafood
evenly. Layer 4 more noodles, ⅓ of the sauce, and remaining seafood. Cover
with the last 4 noodles and the remaining sauce. (For the top layer, do not
spoon any seafood on top of the noodles; just use the sauce.) Tuck in any
edges of the noodles so they’re all coated with sauce. Top with the
Parmesan.

before slicing.

4. Herbed Chicken Lasagna Recipe
The meaty choices don’t stop there, either. From Taste of Home comes a
lasagna that has shredded chicken inside its cheesy noodle layers.
Ingredients:
10 uncooked lasagna noodles
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 can (14½ ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (12 ounces) tomato paste
1½ cups sliced fresh mushrooms
¼ cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon dried basil
1¾ teaspoons salt, divided
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
3 cups (24 ounces) 2 percent cottage cheese
½ cup egg substitute
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
⅓ cup minced fresh parsley
½ teaspoon pepper
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook noodles
according to package directions. Meanwhile, broil chicken 6 inches from the
heat until juices run clear; let stand for 15 minutes or until cool enough to
handle. Shred chicken with two forks. Drain noodles; set aside.

In a large nonstick skillet, combine the shredded chicken, tomatoes, tomato
paste, mushrooms, onion, basil, ¾ teaspoon salt, and garlic powder. Bring to
a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. In a bowl,
combine the cottage cheese, egg substitute, Parmesan cheese, parsley,
pepper, and remaining salt.
In a 13-by-9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray, place half of the
noodles, overlapping them. Layer with half of the cheese mixture, chicken
mixture, and mozzarella. Repeat layers. Cover and bake for 25 to 30 minutes
or until bubbly. Uncover; bake 5 minutes longer. Let stand for 15 minutes
before cutting.

5. No-Noodle Lasagna
In need of a noodle-free lasagna? Look no further than AllRecipes.com.
Zucchini will form your noodles — or zoodles — for a gluten-free way to serve
Italian. Take it to a summer potluck and keep everyone, food allergy free and
those not as fortunate, full.
Ingredients:
2 large zucchini
1 tablespoon salt
1 pound ground beef
1½ teaspoons ground black pepper
1 small green bell pepper, diced
1 onion, diced
1 cup tomato paste

http://wallstcheatsheet.com/life/luscious-lasagnas-8-recipes-youll-want-to-make-immediately.html/?a=viewall 7/15
1 (16-ounce) can tomato sauce
¼ cup red wine
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
Hot water as needed
1 egg
1 (15-ounce) container low-fat ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 (16-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
8 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
Directions: Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a deep 9-by-
13-inch baking pan. Slice zucchini lengthwise into very thin slices. Sprinkle
slices lightly with salt; set aside to drain in a colander.
To prepare the meat sauce, cook and stir ground beef and black pepper in a
large skillet over medium high heat for 5 minutes. Add in green pepper and
onion; cook and stir until meat is no longer pink. Stir in tomato paste, tomato
sauce, wine, basil, and oregano, adding a small amount of hot water if sauce
is too thick. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer sauce for about 20
minutes, stirring frequently. Meanwhile, stir egg, ricotta, and parsley together
in a bowl until well combined.
To assemble lasagna, spread ½ of the meat sauce into the bottom of
prepared pan. Then layer ½ the zucchini slices, ½ the ricotta mixture, and all
of the spinach, followed by all of the mushrooms, then ½ the mozzarella
cheese. Repeat by layering the remaining meat sauce, zucchini slices, ricotta
mixture, and mozzarella. Spread Parmesan cheese evenly over the top;
cover with foil.
Bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil; raise oven temperature to 350 degrees
Fahrenheit, and bake an additional 15 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes
before serving.

6. Lasagna Rolls with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
Cooking Light is mixing it up by rolling the noodles instead of layering them
before baking. That isn’t the only change, though — you’ll also give your
tomato sauce a little kick by adding roasted red peppers.
Ingredients:
Lasagna
8 uncooked lasagna noodles
4 teaspoons olive oil
½ cup finely chopped onion
1 (8-ounce) package pre-sliced mushrooms
1 (6-ounce) package fresh baby spinach
3 garlic cloves, minced
½ cup (2 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup part-skim ricotta cheese
¼ cup minced fresh basil, divided
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
Sauce
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (7-ounce) bottle roasted red bell peppers, undrained

⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper
Directions: To prepare lasagna, cook noodles according to package
directions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Drain. Heat oil in a large
nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, mushrooms, spinach, and
3 garlic cloves; sauté 5 minutes or until onion and mushrooms are tender.
Remove from heat and stir in cheeses, 2 tablespoons basil, ½ teaspoon salt,
and ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper.
To prepare sauce, place vinegar and remaining ingredients in a blender;
process until smooth. Place cooked noodles on flat surface; spread ¼ cup
cheese mixture over each noodle. Roll up noodles, jelly-roll fashion, starting
with short side. Place the rolls, seam sides down, in a shallow 2-quart
microwave-safe dish. Pour ¼ cup sauce over each roll and cover with heavy-
duty plastic wrap. Microwave on high 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons basil.

7. Sweet Pea and Artichoke Lasagna
Need to use up a few frozen vegetables? Open up that freezer and test
out Bon Appétit‘s vegetable lasagna. It skips a tomato sauce in favor of a
blend of creamy textures and flavors, like ricotta and artichoke.
Ingredients:
2 (8-ounce) packages frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and coarsely chopped
1½ cups whipping cream, divided
¼ cup (packed) chopped fresh basil leaves

2 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt

Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush 13-by-9-by-2-
inch glass baking dish with oil. Mix artichokes, ½ cup cream, and basil in
medium bowl. Purée remaining 1 cup cream, ricotta, and next four
ingredients in processor. Spread 1 cup ricotta mixture over bottom of
prepared baking dish. Arrange 4 noodles in single layer over ricotta,
breaking noodles as needed to cover. Spread half of artichoke mixture over.
Spread 2½ cups ricotta mixture over artichokes. Sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella
cheese over. Repeat with 4 noodles, artichoke mixture, 2½ cups ricotta
mixture, and 1 cup mozzarella.
Top with 4 noodles. Spread remaining ricotta mixture over, then sprinkle

lasagna 30 minutes. Remove foil; continue baking until bubbling at edges
and brown on top, about 25 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

8. White Lasagna Cupcakes
Although Food & Wine calls them cupcakes, these individually sized
lasagnas are actually baked in ramekins. Filled with prosciutto, herbs, and
cheeses, make this recipe when you’re looking for a sophisticated or
gourmet lasagna.
Watch: Gevalia’s Swedish Coffee Origins
7/28/2014 Luscious Lasagnas: 8 Recipes You’ll Want to Make Immediately
http://wallstcheatsheet.com/life/luscious-lasagnas-8-recipes-youll-want-to-make-immediately.html/?a=viewall 11/15
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for buttering the ramekins
¾ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for sprinkling
½ pound fresh lasagna noodles
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 large egg
¼ cup snipped chives
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
8 ounces Fontina cheese, shredded
6 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, finely diced
Freshly ground pepper
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter eight 6-ounce
ramekins and coat with Parmigiano; tap out the excess. Place the ramekins
on a sturdy rimmed baking sheet. In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water,
cook the lasagna noodles until al dente. Drain and cool under running water.
Pat dry. Using a 3¼-inch biscuit cutter, stamp out 24 rounds (they should fit
neatly inside the ramekins).
In a large saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the flour and whisk
over moderately high heat for 1 minute. Add the milk and whisk over
moderate heat until the sauce is bubbling and thickened, about 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and whisk in the egg, chives, parsley, and ½ cup of the
Parmigiano. Let cool slightly, then stir in the Fontina and prosciutto. Season
the filling with pepper.
Arrange 1 pasta round in the bottom of each ramekin. Spoon a scant ¼ cup
of the filling into each ramekin and top with another noodle; press to flatten
slightly. Top with the remaining filling and pasta rounds. Sprinkle the tops with
the remaining ¼ cup of Parmigiano and cover loosely with foil.
Bake the cupcakes for about 20 minutes, until the filling is just bubbling.
Remove the foil and bake for about 30 minutes longer, until slightly puffed and
the tops and sides are golden. Let cool for 20 minutes. Run a knife around
the lasagna cupcakes, then invert onto plates, tapping firmly to release them.
Serve hot or warm.
