Lasagna Timpano

By

I have died and gone to lasagna heaven.....

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 boxes lasagna noodles
  • 1 c alfredo sauce
  • 1 c pesto
  • 2 c marinara sauce
  • 3-4 c cheese (Parmesan, Mozzarella, Ricotta, Provolone)
  • pepperoni, sausage, salami, ground beef, etc (opt)

Preparation

Step 1


1. Preheat oven to 350*; lightly grease a large, heavy oven-safe bowl.

2. Cook noodles to al dente; to make the crust, line the bowl with noodles, meeting at the center of the base of the bowl, hanging over the edge of the bowl, and overlapping a bit (this is the hardest part).

3. Now you layer. Sauce, noodles, cheese, noodles, meat, noodles, etc (or however you want to mix it up - make it your own). I recommend keeping things on the drier side (1/2 c sauce per layer) to keep it from falling apart when you flip it. End by folding the crust noodles in and covering the top of the lasagna.

4. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes; let rest for at least 20-30 minutes before attempting to flip it.

5. Place plate over bowl and quickly flip lasagna out on to plate; cut like a cake and serve with extra marinara sauce.
