I made this the other night for dinner. My mom usually makes it, so I made it. The only thing was, the recipe called for parsley. We didn't have parsley; I used Italian Seasoning and oregano instead. If I had to do things over, I would have probably added more of those seasonings... but I'm not sure how they compare to the taste of parsley. Enjoy!
Mafalda Lasagna Casserole
3 cups spaghetti sauce
1 package (12 oz.) San Giorgio Mafalda
3 ¾ cups (2 lbs.) ricotta cheese
1 egg
1 Tbsp. oregano flakes
¼ tsp. Italian seasoning
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. ground black pepper
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
Cook pasta according to package directions. In a large bowl, stir together ricotta cheese, egg, oregano, Italian seasoning, pepper, and salt. In a 13x9x2 inch baking dish, spread 1 cup spaghetti sauce; evenly layer one-half pasta over sauce. Spread ricotta mixture over pasta; sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers of sauce and pasta. Spread remaining sauce over pasta, covering pasta completely; sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese. Cover with foil. Bake 30 minutes. Remove foil; bake for 4-6 minutes or until hot and bubbly. We cook this with the homemade meatballs and sausage. It gives it more flavor. Makes 8-10 servings.
Google says, "Mafalda is a flat ribbon pasta, similar to a narrow lasagna, cut into bite size lengths."
Google also says that San Giorgio is a brand name.
Yep, mafalda is similar to lasagna, but much smaller. It's really good. And use, San Giorgio does make it - I wasn't sure if I could post brand names or if other companies made mafalda.
As compared to regular lasagne noodles, which produce an end product that needs to be cut like a pie or a cake, Mafalda would make a lasagna more like a casserole, requiring a spoon.
What would be the point of using instead of regular lasagna?
Hmm... well, we make Mafalda a bit differently than lasagna. It's also smaller, so it's nicer. But as lubby said: something different.
