  • 15 oz whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups 3 Cheese Blend parmesan, Romano and asiago mixture
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 Tbsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

FOR THE LASAGNA:
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small mixing bowl, stir together the ricotta, 3 cheese blend, pepper, Italian seasoning and eggs.
  2. Boil the lasagna noodles based on the package instructions. Then rinse the noodles with cold water and trim off the ribboned edges on the noodles.
  3. Then spread the cheese mixture onto each noodle and fold each noodle into 2 inch pieces.
  4. Place the prepared noodles on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour.
FOR BREADING, FRYING AND SERVING:
  1. In a shallow bowl whisk together the egg and milk and then place the Panko Bread Crumbs in a separate shallow bowl.
  2. Dip the prepared lasagna bundles into the beaten egg mixture and then coat them with the bread crumbs.  Continue this process until all the lasagna bundles are coated with the breading.
  3. Then heat 2-3 inches of the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or saucepan until it’s approximately 350 degrees F.
  4. Fry the lasagna bundles in the hot oil and fry each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.  Remove and place the fried lasagna on a plate lined with paper towels.
  5. When serving, heat the Alfredo sauce and marinara sauce.
  6. Then spread the Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a serving plate.
  7. Place the fried lasagna pieces on top and drizzle the marinara sauce on top.
  8. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • These are best served fresh as the breading mixture will get soft as the lasagna sits.  
  • You can also add browned ground beef or ground sausage to the marinara sauce when serving to change up the flavor.
