Yuri prepares dinner for us almost once a week. He picks out the recipes he’s going to prepare. He loves pasta and made this easy lasagna recipe for us. It was delicious. It’s fun to see how much he can do by himself already.
This is an easy lasagna recipe with ricotta cheese. You don’t have to make bechamel sauce or a tomato sauce that has to cook for hours. The recipe is from the cookbook Het grote kinderkookboek from Karin Luiten. A cookbook with basic recipes for kids. The tomato sauce consists of ground meat, chestnut mushrooms, passata, oregano, salt and pepper. The ricotta cheese is mixed with an egg and pepper and salt. Other layers are the lasagna noodles and grated cheese.
This is the second lasagna recipe on the blog, the first is the Eggplant Pesto Lasagna. Other recipes on the blog that Yuri made are Mac and Cheese and Graveyard Pudding Cups.
Review
Yuri used a bit less passata then stated in the ingredients, that’s it.

500 ml passata
250 grams chestnut mushrooms
200 grams grated matured cheese
250 grams ricotta cheese
1 egg
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon dried oregano

Slice the mushrooms.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan. Add the ground meat and brown it. Then add the mushrooms and stir fry a few minutes. Pour in the passata and add oregano, pepper and salt. Let it cook for 10 minutes on high.
Add the egg to a bowl. Stir it with a fork. Add the ricotta, pepper and salt. Stir until you have a smooth sauce.
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the bottom of a casserole dish. Water the lasagna noodles under the tap.
Then layer lasagna noodles, tomato sauce, grated cheese, lasagna noodles and so on. End with a layer of lasagna noodles.
Pour the ricotta sauce on top and sprinkle with the remaining grated cheese.
Let it rest for 15 minutes or longer. This way the lasagna noodles can get wet well and the lasagna will bake better.
