Method
Step 1
In a large pot at medium low heat, sweat garlic, onion, carrots and celery in the olive oil. Add the marjoram, oregano, basil, salt and pepper.
Step 2
Once the onion is translucent, add the ground beef and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the meat is cooked through.
Step 3
Deglaze with the red wine, add the tomato paste, ketchup and diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil. Once it is boiling, reduce to low heat and let simmer for about 25 minutes or until the carrots are tender.
Step 4
Remove the sauce from heat and add the fresh parsley and honey. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook Barilla Lasagne pasta until it is a little less than al dente, as it will continue cooking in the oven. Drain and set aside.
Step 6
For the ricotta and spinach mix, in a food processor, combine the ricotta with the garlic clove, then mix at high speed until the ricotta is smooth. Mix the whipped ricotta with the cup of grated mozzarella, chopped spinach, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Step 7
Once everything is ready, in large baking dish, add a layer of sauce, then a layer of pasta. Add half of the ricotta and spinach mix, then repeat with another layer of pasta. Finish with a layer of sauce and grated mozzarella.
Step 8
Cook in the oven for about 30 minutes or until the cheese is golden. Let rest a few minutes before serving.
Lasagne
Lasagne, with its layered sheets, has roots in the Emilia-Romagna region of Northern Italy. Its versatility makes it a staple in Canadian kitchens, where it's used to create hearty meat-based baked dishes like classic lasagna or vegetarian alternatives. It's perfect for gatherings and family dinners. Lasagne is also a great make-ahead dish to prepare for the coming week or serve when hosting loved ones.
