Luxury Lasagne
Description
This indulgent Luxury Lasagne elevates the traditional Italian comfort food with savory depth. The filling combines tender chicken livers and salty prosciutto with a robust tomato sauce enriched by white wine and fresh herbs. Layers of curly lasagna noodles are nestled between this meaty sauce and a creamy mixture of skim milk ricotta and sharp Parmesan cheese. Topped with slices of mozzarella, it bakes into a bubbly, golden masterpiece perfect for weekend family dinners or special gatherings.Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the curly lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Drain again and set aside.
-
In a large Dutch oven or heavy skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and crushed garlic, sautéing until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes.
-
Add chopped chicken livers to the pan and sauté until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Stir in the chopped prosciutto, cooked chicken, tomato paste, canned peeled tomatoes, herbed tomato sauce, chicken broth, dry white wine, salt, pepper, basil, and oregano.
-
Bring the sauce mixture to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until flavors meld and sauce thickens slightly.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and half of the grated Parmesan cheese.
-
Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce in the bottom of a 16x9.5x2.5 inch baking dish (or two smaller 9x13 inch dishes).
-
Layer the dish: place a layer of lasagna noodles, spread with one-third of the ricotta mixture, sprinkle with one-third of the remaining Parmesan, and top with more meat sauce.
-
Repeat the layering process twice more (noodles, ricotta, Parmesan, sauce).
-
Top the final layer of sauce with the remaining noodles if needed, then arrange slices of mozzarella cheese over the top.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
-
Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing to allow layers to set.
