Yid.Dish: Lasagna

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.

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
