I tore another recipe from one of my mom's magazines. Better Homes and Gardens had this amazing recipe in their February issue. I was instantly sold because I love tender, shredded meat and I do NOT like ricotta cheese. This is a ricotta-less lasagna! Instead, it has a creamy Gruyere cheese sauce. It was so comforting and delicious. Short ribs simmered for a few hours with carrots, onions, mushrooms, beef broth and red wine. Layered with the cheese sauce and pasta, baked to perfection! Yum. MAKE THIS!
A few tweaks to make this lasagna as flavorful as possible: after shredding the meat, add a little salt and pepper to taste. Don't completely drain the meat super dry, let it stay juicy; you want those flavors in your finished product. Season the cheese sauce with salt and pepper before assembling the lasagna. Taste it and make sure it's to your liking. Also, my meat took about four and a half hours to finish cooking on the stove top, so don't bank on yours being done after the stated time in recipe. My meat was thick! Broil at the end if you want a golden crust on top.
Hello, meat.
Hello, lasagna.
