Kale And Spinach Lasagna Recipes

LASAGNA WITH SAUSAGE AND KALE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a 5-quart pot, cook sausage over medium heat, stirring often, until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in onions; cover, and cook until softened, 5 minutes. Uncover; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Add garlic; cook 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Add kale and 1/2 cup water to pot; season with salt and pepper. Cover; cook over medium-low heat, tossing occasionally, until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain; coarsely chop. Transfer to bowl with onions.
• Meanwhile, cook noodles 2 minutes less than package instructions. Drain; rinse under cold water.
• Add noodles, tomatoes, and ricotta to the bowl; season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss well. Pour into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; smooth top with a spatula. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

KALE LASAGNA WITH MEAT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cook and stir Italian sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic together in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until meats are browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, vegetable broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and let simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
• Combine ricotta cheese, kale, and egg in a bowl.
• Layer lasagna in a 9x13-inch pan starting with a small amount of meat sauce and noodles, followed by 1/2 of the ricotta mixture, more noodles, and most of remaining meat sauce. Continue with Parmesan cheese, noodles, 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese, noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, remaining noodles, and remaining meat sauce. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until bubbly and browned, 30 to 45 minutes. Let cool and set up for 10 minutes before cutting.

SPINACH AND KALE SALAD

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pan and cook red bell pepper, garlic, and kale about 5 minutes, covered. Add spinach, salt and black pepper, and cook about 5 minutes more. Stir in the balsamic vinegar. Serve hot.

CREAMED LACINATO KALE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large braiser over high heat. When the oil begins to smoke, add half the kale to the pan. Season with salt and cook, stirring, until the leaves take on a deep green hue and lose 50 to 75 percent of their volume, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the kale to a large bowl with the spinach. Repeat with the remaining oil and kale, adding it to the bowl as done.
• Return the braiser to high heat and add the cream. Simmer the cream until it reduces to about 1 3/4 cups, about 5 minutes. Add the cream to the greens and stir to combine. Add the Parmesan, Gruyere, Worcestershire, chile flakes, nutmeg, lemon zest and juice and salt to taste. Return the greens to the braiser and top with the panko and a drizzle of oil. Bake until warmed, 12 to 15 minutes.

KALE LASAGNA RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• Cook the lasagna noodles according to package, and consider cooking extra in case some noodles break.
• Strip the kale from the stems and cut into slivers.
• Add oil to a frying pan and add the garlic and mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes until the mushrooms are reduced in size, then add in the kale. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 5 minutes.
• In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 cup of the mozzarella, the egg white, salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
• Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and add ¾ cup of the sauce to the bottom. Spread evenly.
• Lay out 3 lasagna noodles, then half of the cheese mixture, then half of the kale mixture. Now repeat the layers with sauce, noodles, cheese mixture, and kale mixture. End with 3 more noodles and the remaining sauce.
• Cover the lasagna with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Then, add the remaining mozzarella cheese and bake 5 more minutes.
• Top with parsley if desired and serve.
