Catellis 10 Layer Lasagna With Domenicas Sauce Food

SLOW-COOKER 12-LAYER LASAGNA

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the turkey and cook until cooked through, breaking it up with a wooden spoon into bite-size pieces, about 5 minutes. Remove the turkey to a plate with a slotted spoon then pour off the liquid.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the saucepan, then the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 more minute.
• Return the turkey to the saucepan, add the tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian herbs and salt. Stir and bring to a boil then cook until the sauce thickens slightly, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a medium bowl. Stir in the cottage and Parmesan cheeses.
• In the slow cooker, spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce. Top with a single layer of the dried lasagna noodles (I break them into pieces and slightly overlap them to fit the pot), then 1/3 of the cottage cheese mixture, then 1/3 of the mozzarella (see Cook's Note). Repeat the layering, ending with mozzarella. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours.
• Turn off the slow cooker, uncover and let rest for 20 minutes before serving. This will help the lasagna keep its shape.

TEN-LAYER LASAGNA BOLOGNESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the ground beef with salt and pepper and add to the pan once the oil is smoking. Brown the beef on one side, about 2 minutes, then break it up with a spoon. Add the basil and then the marinara sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until it is slightly thicker, about 1 minute. Set aside.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the milk to a small bowl and mix with the arrowroot. Add the remaining milk to a small saucepot and bring to a simmer over high heat. Add the arrowroot mixture and whisk until thickened, about 30 seconds. Turn off the heat, add the nutmeg and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Grease an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with oil. Spoon a little bit of Bolognese red sauce and a little bit of the white sauce on the bottom of the pan. Add a layer of the zucchini slices and grate the Parmigiano directly over the top to cover. Add a single layer, or 2 sheets of lasagna noodles - you can cut the noodles and use the trim if they don't fit perfectly. Repeat the layers until the dish is filled to the brim, making 10 layers. Sprinkle the top with any remaining Parmigiano. Place the pan in the oven and bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 40 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, let stand for at least 5 minutes and then cut and serve.
