  • 35 g fresh parsley (finely chopped, loosely packed)

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the ricotta, 2 cups (200 G) of mozzarella, 1 cup (110 G) of Parmesan, eggs, parsley and 1 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until translucent. Add the ground beef, breaking up with a wooden spoon. Stir in the garlic, Savory spice blend, and remaining 1½ teaspoons salt. Cook for 8 minutes, until the meat is no longer pink. Add 5 cups (1.3 Kilograms) of marinara sauce and stir to combine.
  4. To assemble the lasagna, grease a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish with nonstick spray. Spread the remaining cup of marinara sauce over the bottom of the dish. Lay 4 sheets of lasagna on top of the sauce. Spread 1½ cups (375 G) of the ricotta mixture on top of the noodles. Pour 1½ cups (395 G) of meat sauce on top of the cheese. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, finishing with a layer of meat sauce. Loosely cover the baking dish with foil.
  5. Bake for 40 minutes.
  6. Increase the oven temperature to 500ºF (260˚C). Uncover the lasagna and sprinkle the remaining 1½ cups (150 G) mozzarella and ½ cup (55 G) Parmesan over the top.
  7. Bake the lasagna for 5 minutes more, until the cheese is bubbly and browned.
  8. Enjoy!

    "This also isn’t a tip but a reply. I don’t believe that there is sweet lasagne but they called it that because of the flavour/name of the spice they used. I hope this helps."

    "I did the 4 cups of marinara for the sauce. I also let the mozzarella/Parmesan topping bake for additional 10 minutes so we can get a crispy crust. Will make again!"

    "Too much ricotta, I probably will only use 2 cups next time."

    "This was very tasty. I didn't have the Savory spice blend but i did look it up & put it together since i had all the ingredients. It called for cinnamon which i was a little questionable about. Tried it but the cinnamon was overpowering. Not sure if the actually savory spice blend is the same but if i make this again, i'd probably leave out the cinnamon."

    "Something I like to do is, whenever I end up with extra of the cheese mixture I make what I call cheese balls, basically just make balls with the cheese mixture then roll it in egg and then in some bread crumbs then you'd fry it in a pan with oil at medium heat."

  • "Definitely use less sauce if you want it to stay together more! You can also cook the noodles or just lay them in the pan straight out of the box!"
