Here are our 10 proposals
Polenta lasagna
Who said that to make lasagna we have to use the egg dough? In this recipe the layers are made of polenta, sauce and cheese. Prepare the polenta and then spread it on a large baking sheet to let it cool. It must be quite thin. Cut it into several equal parts based on the size of the dish you will use for the lasagna and make the layers alternating between polenta, tomato sauce, mozzarella, parmesan and basil. You can also add other meats and cheeses. Bake at 200 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Savoy cabbage
Also in this case the main element is not pasta. We use cabbage leaves for a lighter result and a very different taste. Once blanched we alternate them in a buttered casserole with béchamel and other cheeses, and the sauce we prefer. We recommend the combination with potatoes and sausage.
Lasagne without bechamel
Who does not like the bechamel which is fundamental in the classic recipe, can calmly replace it by blending robiola or ricotta with a little milk. For a vegan version, instead, toast 35 grams of whole wheat flour with 35 grams of extra virgin olive oil and then add 500 ml of soy or rice milk. Season with salt and nutmeg and you will not notice the difference.
Carasau bread lasagna
Carasau bread is an excellent alternative to lasagna puff pastry because it does not need to be cooked and it softens in an instant. You can wet it with broth or even plain water and alternate it inside a baking dish with what you want. We suggest a filling of vegetables sautéed in a pan and cream cheese like squacquerone. Bake for 20 minutes at 200 °.
Lasagna without cooking
Raw cuisine is the fashion of the moment. The principle is that nothing should be cooked. In fact, these lasagne are prepared by alternating layers of raw courgettes thinly cut with a mandolina, with dried tomato pesto, chopped almonds, walnuts and cashews and a cream made with vegetable cream seasoned with salt and lemon juice. To try!
Lasagna in a pan
A recipe dedicated to all students comes out that often they don't have an oven at home. Just prepare a simple tomato sauce and then alternate it with layers of fresh pasta for lasagna inside a normal pan, adding between one layer and the other mozzarella, parmesan and oregano. Cook everything with the lid for about 20 minutes over medium heat. The pasta should not be boiled previously, but it will be cooked directly in the sauce.
Spicy fish lasagna
This lasagna has in particular the very spicy taste given by curry and turmeric. The procedure is the classic one. Layers of pasta alternate with the sauce that is based on salmon and cod. The fish must first be cooked in a pan with the thinly sliced leek, a light seed oil and a knob of butter. It is seasoned with salt, turmeric and curry and is lengthened with fresh cream and coconut milk (only for lovers of ethnic cuisine). Cook everything in the oven at 200 ° for 20 minutes.
Vegan lasagna
For this recipe you have to prepare a pasta without eggs, only with milled semolina flour and water. In the dressing you cannot add cheese and sauces other than the vegan béchamel we have already talked about and to give a little taste and replace the Parmesan add chopped cashews.
Sweet lasagna with cream
Who said that lasagna must necessarily be salted? We also prepare sweets, alternating with classic pasta for custard lasagne and pitted sour cherries. We bake everything in the oven for about 15 minutes at 200 ° and then serve with cream and chocolate chips.
Apple lasagna
This is nothing but a sprawling strudel. Just cut the puff pastry into squares and cook it sprinkled with icing sugar for a few minutes in the oven at 180 °. Then alternate these sheets of crumbly pasta with diced apples sautéed in a pan with butter, sugar, grated lemon lorice and lots of cinnamon. Complete with a handful of toasted pine nuts.
