Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Avocado Oil
- 1/4 White Onion, diced
- 1 package Abbot's Butcher Ground Beef
- 1 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Fennel Seeds
- 1 24-oz jar Marinara Sauce
- 1/4 cup Red Wine
- 1 package Lasagna Noodles
- 1 package Kite Hill Ricotta
- 1-2 cups Vegan Mozzarella Shreds
- 1/4 cup Miyokos Liquid Mozzarella
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cook the beef first. Heat oil on the pan then add the diced onion. After about a minute or two, add in 1 container of Abbot's Butcher.
- Stir every minute or so until the product is nice and browned. This should take about 10 minutes. Halfway through, add in your spices - oregano, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and fennel seeds.
- Start the sauce while the beef is still cooking. Add a jar of marinara sauce to a saucepan on low-medium heat. After about 5-10 minutes, stir in the red wine. When the beef is done, stir it into the sauce.
- Boil a pot of salted water and add in the lasagna noodles. You'll need about 12-14 pieces. Cook al dente, then immediately move to moist paper towels so the noodles don't dry out.
- In a 9x9 baking dish, add about 1/2 cup of sauce. Top with a layer of lasagna noodles followed by another 1/2 cup or so of sauce. Top that with ricotta - I used a mini ice cream scooper to form little balls. Sprinkle with mozzarella shreds.
- Add another layer of noodles followed by sauce, ricotta balls, and mozzarella shreds. Repeat for a third layer - noodles, sauce, ricotta balls, and mozzarella - then finish with about 1/4 cup of Miyoko's liquid mozzarella.
- Cover your dish with foil and place in the oven. Bake for about 40 minutes. Remove foil and switch the oven to broil.
- Carefully add the uncovered lasagna back into the oven to slightly brown the top. This will only take about a minute, maybe even less, so keep your eyes on the lasagna at all times to avoid burning it.
- Once the lasagna is slightly browned, remove it from the oven, let cool slightly, and enjoy immediately!
