Equipment
- Casserole Dish
- Cutting board
- Frying Pan
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb ground beef
- 15 oz tomato sauce
- salt & pepper to taste
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 14 oz crème fraîche
- 1 tbsp chopped basil
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella
- flour for breading
- whisked eggs for breading
- bread crumbs for breading
Instructions
- Heat some oil and sweat the onions and garlic. Add the ground meat and brown it before adding the tomato sauce. Season the mixture with plenty of salt and pepper and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
- In a separate dish, mix the crème fraîche, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
- Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce from Step 1 on the bottom of a rectangular casserole dish. Cover with three lasagna sheets and add more of the meat sauce on top. Add two spoonfuls of the crème fraîche mixture and sprinkle a thin coating of cheese over the top. Add two more layers consisting of lasagna sheets, meat sauce, crème fraîche, and cheese. The very last layer will consist of just the lasagna sheets and the crème fraîche mixture. Bake the lasagna at 320°F for 30 minutes on the convection setting, if possible.
- Cover the lasagna with parchment paper after baking. Place an upside down lid or a casserole dish that is slightly smaller on top of the dish containing the lasagna — the key is to find something that will fit inside the initial dish so that you can apply pressure. Depending on the size of the dish, add about three 1 L filled bottles and refrigerate for four hours.
- Put the lasagna upside down on a cutting board and cut 18 proportional pieces.
- Roll each lasagna piece in flour, egg, and bread crumbs — and then again in the egg and bread crumbs. Fry the pieces in hot oil until golden brown. Insert a wooden popsicle stick into the end, and voilà, your lasagna sticks are ready to go!
