Before you jump to Lasagna recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Finding Nutritious Fast Food.
Almost every single article about losing weight and getting healthy informs readers to avoid drive through windows like the plague as well as to perform all of their own cooking. This is actually very true. Once in a while, though, you totally do not wish to make a whole meal for your family or even just for yourself. Sometimes you just wish to reach the drive through en route to your home and call it a day. There is simply no reason you shouldn’t be able to do this once in a while and be free of the guilt usually associated with “diet slips”. This is possible because lots of the popular fast food spots are attempting to make their menus healthy now. Here is how to eat healthy when you hit the drive through.
Choose a drive through at a restaurant that’s known for catering to people with better palates. For instance, Arby’s doesn’t serve hamburgers. Instead, the options include roast beef and chicken sandwiches, wraps and big salads. While Wendy’s has offered hamburgers for decades, additionally they have plenty of other healthy options like salads, baked potatoes and chili. Not every thing is McDonalds using its deep fried chicken parts and also other terribly unhealthy items.
Fundamental logic states that the best way to lose pounds and get healthy is to ban fast food from your diet altogether. Most of the time this is a good concept but if you make good choices, there is no reason you can’t visit your drive through from time to time. At times what you need most is just to have somebody else do the cooking. When you select wholesome menu items, you do not have to feel guilty about visiting the drive through.
We hope you got benefit from reading it, now let’s go back to lasagna recipe. You can have lasagna using 17 ingredients and 14 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to prepare Lasagna:
- Provide For the Ragú (meat filling)
- Use 1 medium red onion
- Prepare 1 medium carrot
- Take 2 cloves garlic
- Provide 1 laurel leave
- Get 700 gr minced beef (can also be mix of pork and beef)
- Prepare 1 kg passata di pomodoro (better with basil)
- You need 4 tbsp concentrate tomato paste
- Get 1 mozzarella di bufala (optional but soooo much better ;P)
- Take Grated parmigiano reggiano (enough to cover 3-4 layers in your oven plate)
- Provide 1-2 stock cubes (meat) - can be replaced by salt and pepper
- Take 3-4 tbsp olive oil
- Prepare 1-2 glasses red wine
- You need 1 gentle cube of butter (for the oven plate)
- Take For Lasagna:
- Prepare Béchamel (enough to slightly cover every layer): this is optional and you can get your favorite recipe from cookpad ;)
- Prepare Dry lasagna pasta (deCecco, Opera or other brand recommended by an italian or found in italian food store - preferably that does not need previous cooking)
Instructions to make Lasagna:
- For Bolognese:
- Grind onion, carrot and garlic, small but not to a paste
- Put oil in big frying pan (enough to cover the whole surface), medium fire
- Pour the ground vegetables and cook until carrot is tender (~5min)
- Add meat, let it cook a bit and then add the red wine (just enough to cover the meat, 1 glass should be enough but depends on your frying pan size)
- When red wine has been absorbed, add the stock cubes (or salt and pepper) and mix well
- Add the passata di pomodoro, the concentrate tomato paste and the laurel leave. Cover the pan and let it cook in low fire until done (at least 1h)
- The Lasagna magic:
- Heat oven at 170C (~340F)
- Rub butter all around the surface of your deep oven plate
- Put a layer of dry lasagne pasta, one of bolognese, a bit of béchamel, a bit of the mozzarela di buffala and enough grated parmigiano to slightly cover the layer. Repeat until the oven plate is full (usually 3-4 layers). The top layer has pasta, then just béchamel and parmigiano on the top
- Put in oven and let cook the time and heat the pasta instructions say (usually 170C/340F, 30 min, both up & down)
- Change to gratin mode for the last 5 minutes for an extra touch
- If you can resist, leave it rest a bit after heating… Lasagna is better the more time the pasta has to absorb the bolognese ;)
