(50,555 posts)17. My infamous Noodleless Lasagna
You need carne asada meat or whatever thinly sliced meat you like, shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan and marinara sauce.
Step 1: fry the meat.
Step 2: make alternating layers of meat and cheese. These guys are single-serving food items, don't get out your casserole dish and cover the bottom with meat. Usually three layers of meat with cheese in between is plenty. Stick a couple of toothpicks in it to hold it together.
Step 3: put the individual lasagnas in a baking dish and pour marinara over them. Sprinkle parmesan over the marinara.
Step 4: bake at 350 until the cheese melts. Remove from oven and give it 5 minutes for the cheese to set up a little before serving.

Ever try plain yogurt instead of water? It transforms it in a really good way -- more tender, nice
