Looking for a tasty recipe for Passover? Check out this recipe for Matzo Lasagna. It's a crowd pleaser!
Like any great lasagna, this recipe includes ricotta cheese, spinach, mozzarella, Parmesan, tomato sauce, garlic and fresh oregano:
But it uses Matzo in place of the pasta sheets:
The trick is to soak the matzo in warm water (or wine), so it's not too dry and crumbly. Otherwise, you could follow any vegetarian lasagna dish and simply substitute soaked matzo for the pasta.
MATZO LASAGNA
9 pieces matzo, softened in warm water or wine
Your favorite marinara sauce
1 pound ricotta cheese, part skim if possible
5 cups of spinach - chopped fine
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 cup Parmasean cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese
Put the ricotta in a bowl and mix with the spinach, spices, 1/4 cup of the parmesan and 1/4 c. of the mozzarella.
Cover the bottom of a baking pan with some of the matzo. Cover with some of the sauce. Cover sauce with 1/3 of the cheese mixture.
Put some more matzo on top of the cheese and continue the process until all is used up making sure that top of lasagna is matzo and some sauce.
On the top, spread the remaining mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.
Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or until cooked through.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteMegan & Meredith - I'm so glad you enjoyed this recipe! ?Thanks for commenting!
ReplyDeleteI'm just learning about Chemetz and Passover. My understanding is you are not to let the matzo be touched with water,
ReplyDeleteCould you also soak it in tomato juice?
My friend made this and we loved it. Is like to make it but am not sure what size pan to use ? 9x 11 ?
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne - I'd not heard that. Most tomato juices (and sauces) are made from water and tomato concentrate, so I guess it depends on how strict that rule is.
ReplyDeleteJennifer - I think the pan I used was 9 or 10 by 13.
