Lasagna from the skillet - A recipe for a delicious dinner
Simple lasagna without béchamel will quickly win over everyone in the household. This recipe is easier than traditional lasagna, and you don’t need to pre-cook the sheets—they will soften directly in the pan. Ground meat, aromatic sauce, and a touch of mascarpone leave nothing to be desired.
In addition to minced meat, the sauce includes Italian salsiccia sausage. If you can’t find it in the store, you can confidently replace it with a good quality raw white sausage. The recipe also includes wine—don’t worry about the alcohol, as most of it evaporates during cooking, leaving only the characteristic taste of red wine. You can, however, skip this addition if desired.
Ingredients:
- 2 carrots
- 3 stalks of celery
- 1 onion
- 6 tablespoons of olive oil
- 7 ounces of Italian sausage
- 14 ounces of ground beef
- 28 ounces of tomato passata
- 1 tablespoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of pepper
- 4 fluid ounces of red wine
- 1 handful of fresh basil
- 1 ounce of grated parmesan
- 8 sheets of lasagna noodles
- 5 ounces of mascarpone
- 7 ounces of shredded mozzarella
Instructions:
Step 1. Dice the carrots, celery, and onion into small pieces. Place them in a skillet and sauté until the vegetables are translucent. Then add the sausage, removed from its casing, and crumble it apart. Brown the entire mixture.
Step 2. Add the ground beef and sauté for a moment. Then pour in the tomato passata, season with salt and pepper, and cook covered over low heat for about 2 hours.
Step 3. Next, add the red wine, fresh basil leaves, and grated parmesan, and cook for an additional 40 minutes. After this time, add the broken-up lasagna noodles and simmer for another 30 minutes until the lasagna sheets are soft.
Step 4. Once the pasta is soft, spread the mascarpone over the surface. Sprinkle with mozzarella and wait a moment until it melts.
Step 5. Transfer the ready lasagna onto plates and serve warm. Enjoy your meal!
