SERIOUS COMFORT FOOD
I gauge this isn't technically lasagna, since it is cooked inwards the crock pot as well as uses rigatoni noodles, but it qualifies every bit serious comfort nutrient as well as has all of the rich, familiar lasagna flavors.
1 1/2 pounds thin dry reason beef (browned and drained well)
4 cups of beef broth (not bullion)
(1) xv ounce tin of love apple tree sauce
(1) 12 ounce tin of love apple tree paste
1 tablespoon dehydrated onion flakes
1 teaspoon dry out oregano
2 teaspoons dry out basil
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed (don't move out out)
1 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoons carbohydrate (don't move out out)
1/2 teaspoon dark pepper
small pinch of ruby chili flakes (optional)
3/4 pound of rigatoni noodles
1/2 pound of mushrooms (thick sliced)
2 to 3 cups Colby jack cheese shredded
1 loving cup of ricotta cheese
Brown the dry reason beef as well as drain it really well. In a large crock pot (see banknote below), Mix the beef broth, love apple tree sauce, love apple tree paste, onion as well as spices. Use a whisk to mix the sauce together well, thus stir inwards the meat as well as mushrooms. Cook on high for iv hours (see note). Stir in 1 trial inwards a piece during the iv hours if possible (but non absolutely necessary.
After iv hours, Stir inwards the DRY unboiled rigatoni, brand certain yous force them nether the sauce (add a niggling extra hot H2O if necessary). Add the ricotta to the crock pot yesteryear spooning tablespoons of it in random spots as well as gently force downwards on the ricotta to submerge it every bit good (don't stir).
Continue to gear upward on depression for xxx to a greater extent than minutes. Sprinkle the surface amongst shredded Colby jack cheese as well as pose the lid dorsum on for nearly five minutes or until cheese is nicely melted. Serve.
NOTE: My crock pot is a large oval as well as broad dull cooker, which plant good for this recipe, every bit opposed to a small/tall one. The original cooking fourth dimension is iv hours on high, but if yous are going to endure away from the trouble solid all day, only plough it downwards to LOW as well as gear upward for 8 hours earlier yous add together the noodles. If yous are using 1 of those smaller/taller dull cookers, yous may convey to accommodate the cooking fourth dimension a little.
NOTE: My crock pot has a "low" setting, a "high" setting as well as a "warm" setting. Once this recipe is completely done (and gear upward to eat) yous tin move out it on "warm" for quite a while. Warning, "low" is non the same every bit "warm".
NOTE: Noodles tends to autumn apart if yous leave them inwards the crock pot for much to a greater extent than than xxx minutes, thus don't endure tempted to add together them early. Thirty minutes is perfect.
NOTE: This recipe uses rigatoni noodles, which are large diameter tubular noodles that convey ridges on them. However, whatever sort of thick walled (sturdy) noodle volition piece of employment for this recipe. Just brand certain yous produce NOT BOIL THEM earlier yous add together them to the sauce. They gear upward inwards the sauce as well as soak upward all of that extra liquid. Regular elbow noodles piece of employment good if yous are serving this to a crowd of kids.
NOTE: I similar dehydrated onion inwards this recipe, but if yous don't convey that, only saute a pocket-sized chopped onion along amongst the dry reason beef.
NOTE: You tin piece of employment your favorite cheese. We laissez passer on off to similar Colby jack cheese, but mozzarella plant good too.
NOTE: This reheats really well.
