Lasagna Marinara Rolls
2013-02-05- Cuisine: Italian, Valentine

- Cook Time : 0m
- Ready In : 0m
Ingredients:
For the Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup diced pancetta (about 2 ounces)
- 1 large Spanish onion, diced
- Kosher salt
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- 2 28-ounce cans plum tomatoes
For the Lasagna:
- Kosher salt
- 1 16-ounce box lasagna noodles
- 4 cups ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated pecorino cheese
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 3/4 pound mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 3 cups)
- 2 large eggs
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves roughly chopped
Method:
Make the sauce: Pour the olive oil into a large pot, add the pancetta and cook over medium-high heat until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the onion, season generously with salt and cook until soft but not browned, 6 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring.
Pass the tomatoes through a food mill (or puree in a food processor) and add to the pot. Fill one of the empty tomato cans with about 2 1/2 cups water, add to the pot and season generously with salt. Simmer 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Taste frequently and season with salt as the sauce simmers-tomatoes take a lot of salt.
Make the lasagna: Preheat the oven to 375. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil (the water should taste like the ocean). Add the lasagna noodles and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes. Fill a bowl with salted ice water. Remove the pasta from the boiling water and transfer to the ice water to stop the cooking.
Mix the ricotta, pecorino, 1/4 cup parmesan, 1 1/2 cups mozzarella, eggs, thyme and 2 teaspoons salt in a bowl. Drain the pasta and place on a clean towel in a single layer.
Coat the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with a ladle or two of sauce. Spread 3 heaping tablespoonfuls of the cheese filling down the center of each lasagna sheet; roll up the sheet (but not too tightly or the filling might ooze out). Place seam-side down in the baking dish, leaving a little room between each roll. Cover with 3 to 4 cups sauce and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup parmesan and 1 1/2 cups mozzarella.
Bake, uncovered, until the lasagna bubbles around the edges and the cheese melts, about 1 hour. Let rest 10 minutes, then serve with extra sauce.

Lets face it, Banquet dinners are almost like pet food for people but in certain circumstances they are a convieniant thing to eat. Some of them are tolerable and some are questionable. I’ve noticed certain stores offer different kinds.
What are all of the types available at the stores by you?

Lasagna Rolls Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis
Show: Everyday Italian
Episode: Italian Fast Food
Sauce:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Pinch ground nutmeg
Lasagna:
1 (15-ounce) container whole milk ricotta cheese
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped
1 large egg, beaten to blend
3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for salting water
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
12 uncooked lasagna noodles
2 cups marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella (about 4 ounces)
To make the sauce: Melt the butter in a heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk for 3 minutes. Whisk in the milk. Increase the heat to medium-high. Whisk the sauce until it comes to a simmer and is thick and smooth, about 3 minutes. Whisk the salt, pepper, and nutmeg into the bechamel sauce.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Whisk the ricotta, spinach, 1 cup Parmesan, prosciutto, egg, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to blend.
Add a tablespoon or 2 of oil to a large pot of boiling salted water. Boil the noodles until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain. Arrange the noodles in a single layer on a baking sheet to prevent them from sticking.
Butter a 13-by-9-by-2-inch glass baking dish. Pour the bechamel sauce over the bottom of the prepared dish. Lay out 4 lasagna noodles on a work surface, then spread about 3 tablespoons of ricotta mixture evenly over each noodle. Starting at 1 end, roll each noodle like a jelly roll. Lay the lasagna rolls seam side down, without touching, atop the bechamelsauce in the dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles and ricotta mixture. Spoon 1 cup of marinara sauce over the lasagna rolls. Sprinkle the mozzarella and remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan over the lasagna rolls. Cover tightly with foil. Bake until heated through and the sauce bubbles, about 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until the cheese on top becomes golden, about 15 minutes longer. Let stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the remaining marinara sauce in a heavy small saucepan over medium heat until hot, and serve alongside.
I know where to buy it, I have it with me..but its not cooked..
wouldnt that be like eating raw meat then?

I have three uncooked no-boil lasagna noodles left over from a recipe I made a while ago, and I don’t want them to go to waste but don’t see myself using them in a full-size lasagna recipe anytime soon. I’d like suggestions as to how I can use them – in a recipe or otherwise – and if your solution involves eating them, a recipe to accompany it would be appreciated. Thanks!

I just got my ear cartilage pierced and i was wondering what type of salt to use to clean it. I know i’m supposed to use salt with warm water. But read that i should use sea salt not iodized salt, so i was wondering whether kosher salt would be ok. Also how many weeks do i have to continue cleaning the piercing before i can stop, and change the ring?

I’m getting married in October 09, and I’m having trouble coming up with a menu. I’m a vegetarian. My fiance, along with 99.98% of our guests, are not. I want a good, warm, in season meal that everyone can eat. Nothing overly fancy, since the wedding has a very rustic theme. I live in a small town, so there are no big catering companies around…Any ideas would be helpful!

I hate cooking but I know I need to provide healthy meals for my family every day. I need quick, semi-healthy, tasty, cheap recipes to make for my family. We are pretty picky eaters too so there is the challenge for you.

What kind of cheese is used to make a tuna melt? From what I’ve seen when I’ve ordered it in restaurants, I’m thinking that it’s mozzarella cheese. In yahoo answers, I see everybody giving recipies for tuna melts that say “cheese”, but they don’t say “what type” of cheese.
Do you mixed the cheese with the tuna in a skillet and heat it up before placing it on the bread? Or do you grill it on the stove (like a grilled cheese) with the tuna and cheese already between the slices of bread? I just love tuna melts. I normally order them in restaurants, but I’ve never made one at home.
I’m going to go to the supermarket, but I want to buy the right type of cheese.

I am doing a brine for some chicken, and the brine calls for 1/2 gallon of water (8 cups) and 7 cups of kosher salt. ( I have checked the recipe repeatedly out of fear that I read it wrong…but that’s what it says…). The recipe says to bring the brine to a boil until all is disolved. I have been boiling this liquid for over an hour and just keep adding more water ( I have added 4 more cups of water) and I can’t get the salt to break down any further. It’s Kosher salt for sure. I’m assuming maybe there is a limit of the amount of salt that can be absorbed by water…
Yeah I have stirred it off and on during the past hour…
