MONEY SAVING TIPS:
- Buying cheese in blocks and shredding it yourself, takes a couple more minutes in the kitchen, but saves you money overall than buying pre-packaged, pre-shredded cheese.
- Brand names don’t matter a whole lot in cheese – it’s the ingredients that you should be looking out for. Aim for cheese that has just milk, enzymes, salt and rennet (optional).
- Start your meat savings by keeping an eye on the price per pound of your favorite cuts. Then, stock up whenever there’s a sale. You’ll find the best savings before holidays such as Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day. Buy extra meat and throw it in the freezer for use later.
Let’s make the recipe!
In a Non-Stick Skillet, brown ground beef and pork, drain fat. Add garlic, red pepper flakes and salt. Cook for another 30 seconds, be careful not to burn the garlic.
Break lasagna noodles in to 2 inch pieces.
Add noodles to the skillet.
Cover noodles with water and Marinara Sauce.
Cover and cook for about 20 minutes. Stirring often so that noodles do not stick and cook evenly.
Maintain a strong simmer. Gently stir until noodles are cooked.
Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in 1/2 mozzarella and 1/2 of the Parmesan.
Gently stir in half of the mozzarella cheese.
Dot with heaping teaspoons of Ricotta over noodles, sprinkle other 1/2 of Mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover with a lid, let set for about 5 minutes until the cheeses melt together.
Sprinkle basil on top.
Serve hot with a salad.
This meal freezes well.
