Easy Lasagna
Posted Under: Delish Dish, The Breeze, Uncategorized
My friend Kajsa gave me this recipe for lasagna–it is by far the easiest recipe that I have found for the dish. Great to make if you’re taking dinner to someone who just had a baby–the whole family likes it and it makes enough to have leftovers which can be frozen for later use.
Ingredients:
1 pound ricotta cheese
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (Sargento makes a 4 cup pack)
1 egg
1 pound ground turkey
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon oregano
Dash pepper
2 quart spaghetti sauce
9 lasagna noodles, uncooked
3/4 cup water
Directions:
Fully cook meat in pan and set aside. In a large bowl, mix ricotta cheese, 2 1/2 – 3 cups of mozzarella, egg, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix in meat. In a greased 9×13 inch pan, layer sauce, 3 noodles and half of the cheese mixture. Repeat. Top with remaining sauce. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Pour 3/4 cup of water around the edges of the pan. Cover tightly with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes, covered, before serving. Lasagna can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake. Also, freezes well in serving size portions.
Breezy Mama Tip: I’ve made the filling in a variety of different ways, but my favorite is Italian sausage with frozen spinach and Newman’s Own Cabernet Marinara for the spaghetti sauce.

We love this recipe!!
This is one of the four things I can cook. I feel so honored!
Wanna make it healthy? For a LITTLE extra work, I cook a sweet potatoe, puree (or blend or mash it up) it, and add it to the meat. The kids don’t even know it is in there and it actually gives it a slightly sweet taste. If I leave it OUT, they comment that it tastes different! Totally worth the effort when I see them eating it! I just sit there with a smug smile on my fac knowing I got them to eat vegetables! If I feel like going crazy, puree some steamed cauliflower and add it to the ricotta cheese!
Alex, when you made this for me it was absolutely delicious. So do you mix the turkey with the italian sausage? Mine def had sausage in it? or do you use turkey italian sausage and no ground turkey. I am so confused. Anyway you do it is probably delish but I am confounded.
Linnea–I substituted the ground turkey for italian sausage and added spinach as well.
