My dinner tonight was this lasagna. It was a very brave move, because it was my first time making homemade noodles! But turned out really good!
RECIPE:
Noodles- 2 cups of (Bobs Red Mill) white whole wheat all organic flour
2eggs
2-4 tbs. water
1 tsp basil and oregano
Sauce- 1 half bottle of Bertolli Organic olive oil, basil, and garlic spaghetti sauce
Veggie Mixture- 2 celery stick
1 half of a Roma tomato (diced)
1/4 of an onion (diced)
1/4 green pepper (julienne)
4 peppercinis (cut)
1 tsp. basil, garlic salt, and oregano
2tbs. olive oil
Cheese- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
1 cup Cheddar cheese
3 tbs. Parmesan cheese
GETTIN' IT ALL TOGETHER
For the noodles, mix salt and what flour together. Beat egg separately, then add egg to dry mixture. Add water tbs. by tbs. as needed. Roll out to desired thickness ( I prefer a lasagna noodle thickness)
Then, cut the dough in thick strips. Set aside.
Now, for the veggie mix, heat oil and a couple tbs. of peppercini juice (add more for extreme spice).
Sweat all the veggies down slightly. Do not over cook! Cook until the onions are just about to be transparent!
Take off heat, and set aside.
Heat marinara sauce slightly.
LAYERING THE LASAGNA
You can always layer this how you would like. But, this is how I go about conquering this beast.
Oil the 8x8 baking dish. Laying a little sauce on the bottom of dish.
Then, layer noodles until they cover the bottom. Add more sauce. Add mozz cheese. Add veggie mix. Add Parm cheese. Add Cheddar cheese. Little more sauce. Laying it with more noodles until covered.
NOW REPEAT. Until your ingredients are gone :)
bake on 350 for 30 minutes
DA TOPPING
Garlic Italian "Croutons"
Cut up two slices of sour dough bread into cubes
In a separate bowl, mix together 2 tbs. olive oil
Add basil, garlic salt, oregano, parsley
Toss bread in oil lightly
Bake on 350 for 4 min, then broil for 1 min (WATCH! They may burn)
Pop that baby out, let cool for about 10 minutes. Don't forget to put the croutons on the lasagna. ENJOY
