Homemade lasagna is a labor of love, but our “lazy” version doesn’t take all day! A couple of smart shortcuts, including using broken noodles and Bell & Evans Breaded Chicken Patties, help this cheesy pasta bake come together in a flash.
Ingredients
- 16 Bell & Evans Chicken Patties
- 12 oz Lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces
- 1 1/2 cups Fresh ricotta
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 (24 oz) jar Tomato sauce
- 2 TB Fresh basil, chopped
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Fill a large pot with water and bring to boil over high heat. Cook the lasagna noodles according to manufacturer's directions; drain.
- Place patties in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until patties are fully cooked through, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 25-30 minutes.
- Mix ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella and Parmesan together until combined. Fold in cooked lasagna noodles until coated.
- Cover bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 cup tomato sauce. Top with 8 patties. Layer with half the noodle mixture and 1 cup tomato sauce. Top with remaining noodle mixture, tomato sauce and mozzarella. Top evenly with remaining patties.
- Bake until sauce is bubbling and cheese is melted, about 15-20 minutes. Garnish with basil. Let cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Tip: Feel free to substitute Breaded Chicken Patties for Italian-Style Patties!
So good! A great twist on traditional lasagna. I did broil the chicken Patties slightly before removing from the oven.
