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

1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
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.
3
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.
4
Add chopped chicken livers to the pan and sauté until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
5
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.
6
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.
7
In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and half of the grated Parmesan cheese.
8
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).
9
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.
10
Repeat the layering process twice more (noodles, ricotta, Parmesan, sauce).
11
Top the final layer of sauce with the remaining noodles if needed, then arrange slices of mozzarella cheese over the top.
12
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
13
Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing to allow layers to set.
