Ingredients

  • 1 lb of Italian pork sausage with the casings taken off,
  • 1 lb of ground beef,
  • 1/2 cup of finely chopped onion,
  • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed,
  • 1 can of crushed tomatoes (14.5 oz),
  • 2 cans of tomato paste (6 oz each),
  • 1/2 cup of vegetable broth,
  • 2 tbsp of Italian seasoning,
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking,
  • 1 package of lasagna noodles (16 oz),
  • 1 container of ricotta cheese (16 oz),
  • 2 cups of finely chopped kale,
  • 1 large egg,
  • 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese,
  • 1 lb of shredded mozzarella cheese

Step 1

Begin by preheating the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) to create the perfect cooking environment. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, cook and stir a delightful mix of Italian sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic until the meats are beautifully browned and crumbly, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes. Introduce a flavorful combination of crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, vegetable broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the pan, allowing it to gently boil before lowering the heat to let it simmer for approximately 1 hour, stirring occasionally for a rich taste to develop.

Step 2

During this time, prepare a pot of lightly salted water to boil and cook the lasagna noodles until they reach the perfect al dente texture, which should take around 8 minutes. In a separate bowl, combine the creamy ricotta cheese with nutritious kale and a binding egg for a flavorful and wholesome filling.

Step 3

Assemble the lasagna in a 9x13-inch pan, starting with a layer of meat sauce and noodles, followed by half of the delectable ricotta mixture, more noodles, and the majority of the remaining meat sauce. Continue stacking with Parmesan cheese, noodles, half of the luscious mozzarella cheese, noodles, the rest of the ricotta mixture, the remaining noodles, and the last of the meat sauce. Finish off the layers with a generous sprinkle of the remaining mozzarella cheese for a gooey, cheesy topping.

Step 4

Slide the pan into the preheated oven, uncovered, and let it bake until the lasagna is beautifully bubbly and golden brown, approximately 30 to 45 minutes. Allow it to cool and set for a brief 10 minutes before cutting into delectable portions to serve.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Embrace the beauty of organization by using clear, airtight containers to store individual ingredients for easy access when assembling your kale lasagna masterpiece.
  2. 2. Elevate your storage game by utilizing stackable storage bins to efficiently store different types of cheeses, sauces, and veggies needed for your savory kale lasagna creation.
