Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
142 g (5 oz) spinach
-
250 g Grimm’s Thick Cut Bacon
-
227 g cremini mushrooms
-
1 ¼ teaspoons Kosher salt, divided
-
200 g Grimm’s Ham Garlic Sausage, diced
-
1 red onion, diced
-
1 carrot, diced
-
1 celery stalk, diced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
-
½ cup red wine
-
36 ounces pasta sauce, your favourite store bought or homemade
-
2 tablespoons tomato paste
-
Unsalted butter, for buttering the baking dish
-
1 500g box of lasagna noodles
-
1 egg, beaten
-
450 g ricotta cheese (see note)
-
3 ½ cups mozzarella cheese shredded, divided
-
2 ½ cups freshly grated Parmesan, divided
-
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the bacon in a large pan over medium heat. Cook, flipping occasionally, until the bacon is crispy, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Remove 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat to a heat proof bowl and set aside, leaving 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the pan. When the bacon is cool enough to handle, crumble or chop the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
- Add the spinach to the pan, toss to coat in the bacon fat, cover and cook over medium-high heat, until it wilts. 1 to 2 minutes. Remove spinach to a plate and set aside to cool.
- Dry any excess moisture in the pan with a paper towel, then add the 3 tablespoons of reserved bacon fat into the pan. Add the mushrooms and 1 teaspoon salt to the pan with the bacon fat, and cook over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are beginning to brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add the sausage, onion, carrot, celery and cook for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and the Italian seasoning and cook for 2-3 minutes more until the vegetables are soft, and the mushrooms have browned.
- Pour in the wine and deglaze the pan, scraping off any tasty stuck bits. Simmer until the liquid has mostly evaporated, 4 to 5 minutes
- Add in the pasta sauce, tomato paste, and simmer uncovered until slightly thickened, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Stir in the reserved bacon, turn off the heat and set aside.
- While the sauce is thickening, preheat the oven to 350°F and butter a 9”x13” baking dish.
- In a large pot of salted water, boil the lasagna noodles, according to package directions for al dente. Drain the noodles, rinse under cold water, and set aside. (Brushing a little olive oil on the noodles will help keep them from sticking but is completely optional).
- While the noodles cook, whisk the egg and ¼ teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the ricotta and stir to combine. Next, add 1 cup mozzarella, ½ cup parmesan cheese, and the parsley. Squeeze the excess water out of the spinach, then coarsely chop the spinach and add it to the egg mixture. Stir until completely incorporated.
- Assemble the lasagna: Spread 1 cup of the meat sauce into a 9”x13″ oven safe dish. Top it with enough lasagna noodles to fit the dish. Layer with 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture, 1 cup of meat sauce, then sprinkle with ½ cup of Parmesan cheese. Repeat two more times (noodles, ricotta mixture, sauce, Parma, noodles, ricotta mixture, sauce, Parma) Then finish with a layer of noodles, topped with the remaining sauce. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and sprinkle with the remaining 2 ½ cups mozzarella cheese and ½ cup Parmesan cheese. Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until browned and bubbly. Broil for 2-3 minutes if desired but watch carefully to ensure it does not burn.
- Allow the lasagna to rest for 15 minutes before serving.
NOTES:
- If your ricotta mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk until it is spreadable.
- This recipe makes a 9”x13” three-layer lasagna. A smaller pan, like our heart shaped pan, will make it a five-layer lasagna.
- Optional, bake a heart shaped bacon for garnish.
