Kahn-Troster Family Lasagna (Adapted and spiced up from Second Helpings Please!)
Sauce:
2 medium onions, minced
5 cloves of garlic, minced
1 diced green pepper
8-10 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
2-3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp fresh ground pepper
2 tsp salt
fresh basil or 2 tsp dried
fresh oregano or 2 tsp dried
4-6 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1-2 tsp Tabasco sauce
1 14oz can tomato sauce (I prefer Muir Glen not just for being organic, but also for the taste)
1 12 oz can tomato paste
½ cup water.
Saute vegetables in oil. Add remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer for ½ hour. Add more water if necessary.
Lasagna:
12 oz package lasagna noodles
1 pound grated mozzarella
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 ¾ cup ricotta
Leftover fresh herbs from Step 1, if using
Prepare noodles according to package directions. In an oblong baking dish, alternate layers of sauce, noodles, ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan. Repeat until all ingredients are used up, ending with sauce. Scatter fresh herbs on top. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Serves 6.
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we need 500 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
