My Own Lasagna Oamc Recipes

CREAMY CHICKEN LASAGNA - OAMC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Cook chicken breasts and cut into small cubes (less than 1/2 inch).
• Cook noodles in boiling water until almost done, Drain and rinse in cold water, Lay flat on baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap while you make sauce.
• Cook onion in butter in large pan for about 2 minutes or until softened.
• Add flour and stir over low heat for another minute.
• Stir in dried herbs and chicken.
• Slowly add stock and milk or cream, Boil for about 1 minute.
• Add carrots and broccoli, cook for 5 minutes.
• Salt,pepper and add crushed red pepper to taste.
• Spray 2 13x10 inch baking pans with no stick spray.
• Put enough sauce in the bottom of the pans to just cover.
• Start assembling, 1/4 noodles, 1/4 sauce, 1/4 cheese making 2 layers. Add a little basil and crushed red pepper to the top for looks if desired.
• Cover with foil and bake until bubbling (about 40 minutes).
• Uncover and brown for about 5 minutes to brown top slightly.
• Let stand about 20 minutes before cutting and placing in containers to freeze.
• After reading the comments I tried some things. The egg noodles as well as penne pasta worked really well. The type of pasta I used determined the amount of sauce that was left obviously. Just experiment to see what works for you. Using egg noodles or penne seriously cuts the time on this way back. Using frozen carrot/broccoli blends works great too, to cut back on time. Both of those alterations didn't change much, though the frozen veggies changed a little bit of the "fresh" taste in my opinion. If you're doing a day long OAMC marathon, these minor changes might make a big difference. As for the sauce, I think the elevation and dryness of the flour affect the sauce, so does oven temperature Like one reviewer said the sauce thickens as it stands.

HEARTY MEAT LASAGNA (OAMC)

Steps:

• FOR THE SAUCE: Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook until softened but not browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the meat loaf mix, 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper and cook, breaking the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until the meat loses its raw color but has not browned, about 4 minutes.
• Stir in the cream, bring to a simmer, and cook until the liquid evaporates and only the fat remains, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato puree and drained diced tomatoes, Bring to a simmer and cook until the flavors are blended, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
• FOR THE RICOTTA FILLING: Stir all of the ingredients together until combined; set aside.
• TO ASSEMBLE THE LASAGNA: Spread 1 cup of the sauce over the bottom of a 13 by 9-inch baking dish (avoiding large chunks of meat). Place 3 of the noodles in a single layer in the baking dish. Spread 1/3 cup of the ricotta mixture over each noodle, then sprinkle the layer with 1 cup of the mozzarella. Spoon 1 cup of the sauce evenly over the cheeses. Repeat the layering of the noodles, ricotta, mozzerella, and sauce twice more. Place the remaining 3 noodles on top, cover with the remaining 1 cup mozzarella and the Parmesan.
• TO STORE: Wrap the dish tightly with plastic wrap and then foil and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month. (If frozen, the casserole must be completely thawed in the refrigerator, about 24 hours.).
• TO SERVE: Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 400 degrees. Unwrap the dish and cover tightly with foil that has been sprayed with vegetable oil spray (or use nonstick foil). Bake until the sauce bubbles lightly around the edges, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until hot throughout and the cheese is browned in spots, 25 to 30 minutes longer. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
• TO SERVE RIGHT AWAY: Bake as directed, reducing the covered baking time to 15 minutes.

VEGETARIAN LASAGNA OAMC (MAKES 3 MEALS)

Steps:

• Set the Lasagna noodles to boil in a large pot.
• Put the Greek yogurt, bell peppers, and spinach in a blender and blend until it fairly smooth.
• In a bowl mix the Parmesan, Greek Yogurt mix, mozzarella, and garlic.
• Shred very finely all the zucchini, yellow squash, and carrots. Mushrooms would be a good addition too, but I hate mushrooms so didn't add any in mine.
• Drain the noodles, and put out three 9x13 pans. I use the tin ones so I can freeze them and then put them in the oven.
• Lay down one layer of three lasagna noodles in each pan. Place a layer of Spaghetti sauce over the top. Then a layer of the vegetable, then a layer of the white cheeses. Repeat.
• Put the rest of the spaghetti sauce on the top of the last layer of noodles. Cover with tin foil and lable. Freeze.
• When you are ready to bake, heat the oven up to 375 and bake for 60 to 75 minutes.

PEROGY LASAGNA (OAMC)

Steps:

• Mix together cottage cheese, egg and onion salt.
• In another bowl, mix together 1/2 cup cheese, mashed potatoes, bacon bits and onion.
• Line bottom of a 9 X 13 inch pan with 4 noodles.
• Spread first mixture evenly on top.
• Add 4 additional noodles and cover evenly with potato mixture.
• Top with remaining 4 noodles, remaining cheese and bacon.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
• Serve with sour cream.
• For best flavour, bake ahead and reheat.
• *My Husband doesn't really like cottage cheese, so I will often make this with 2 layers of the potato instead of the cottage cheese layer*.
• **For OAMC: I make as directed and then freeze. (For better flavour bake before freezing) Defrost overnight and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. OR bake from frozen for 1 hour 30 minutes or until heated through.**.
