Nic's Portuguese Lasagna

Friends & old roommates have asked me for this recipe.  I have never written it down until now.

Here you go!!



No boil lasagna noodles

4 hard boiled eggs (add a pinch of banking soda to the water to peel the shell off easy)

1lb of ground turkey, sausage, or ground beef. You can always use 1/2 lb if you are looking to save money on groceries or eat less meat.

1 diced onion

1 diced bell pepper

8 oz of shredded mozzarella cheese

Half a carton of mushrooms (cut in half)

1 can or corn (optional)

1 zucchini (optional) diced

1 jar of your fav pasta sauce

1 table spoon of cracked pepper

Favorite dried/fresh Italian seasoning

Fresh Parm Cheese





Pre-Heat Oven to 375

Hard boil eggs

Brown turkey meat/drain

Combine:  Pasta sauce, browned turkey mean, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, corn, zucchini.  Simmer on low-medium until eggs are done.

Slice hard boiled eggs.

Add a few table spoons of water to pasta sauce container.  Swish water around container.  Cover the bottom of your lasagna with the watered down sauce.  This prevents the bottom layer from sicking.



Layer lasagna with noodles, pasta sauce mixture, eggs & cheeses.  I have also added spinach as a layer.

Do 2-3 layers.



Cover lasagna for 50 minutes at 375.  (follow cooking directions on the box of noodles)

The last 10 minutes take the cover off.

Let cool for 10 minutes.  Let it cool, otherwise the lasagna doesn\"t come out in squares.



You can add whatever fresh veggies you have.  Feel free to add ground chicken/beef instead of turkey, or add Spicy Italian sausage.  ENJOY!  It is always better the next day.
