If you are looking for a great idea for one of your dinners this week, why not consider meat lasagna. This tasty Italian dish, when combined with hearty bread and a salad makes a great meal. What's in one of these meat lasagnas? A wonderful combination of pasta, a sauce with Italian spices, ground beef, ricotta or cottage cheese and mozzarella cheese. All of the ingredients are layered in a pan and baked until the pasta is done and the cheese is melted. Different from other dishes with pasta lasagna can be baked without cooking the pasta before hand. Simply put the lasagna noodles in with all the wet ingredients as you layer it.It may have to bake a while longer, but it wont change how it tastes. An alternative meat lasagna uses chicken, Alfredo sauce and also has vegetables in the layers of the pan. If you are a vegetarian, the lasagna could be made with veggies instead of meat. You could substitute spinach, zucchini and even carrots. Then just make your preference of sauce, whether it be red or white. This alternative is just as great tasting and much healthier than meat. If you're trying to cut back on the carbohydrates, try your traditional lasagna recipe using steamed cabbage instead of the pasta. The flavors are very close and might fool your taste buds. To bake the lasagna, you need a casserole dish that is at least three to four inches deep. Because of the noodle's shape, rectangular and square pans work better. If you are lacking the deep dish casserole dish, you should consider getting an aluminum pan that is disposable. You can find them at any of the grocery stores in your area.They also make it so that you can freeze some ahead of time for a dinner next week. Plus, they do make clean-up time a lot easier.
