What is lasagna rosa?
The word rosa in Italian means pink. My lasagna rosa is a take on traditional lasagna that uses two kinds of sauce that creates a lovely pink sauce.
I’m using Alfredo sauce and spaghetti sauce mixed together for a delicious creamy blush tomato sauce. So yummy! Blush perfectly describes the gorgeous shade of pink of this sauce too.
The Best Time Saving Lasagna Recipe!
This delicious lasagna rosa is fast and easy to make unlike many time intensive lasagna recipes. I kept this recipe simple by keeping it vegetarian and using some shortcuts.
By keeping it vegetarian you don’t need to cook any meat first, so you eliminate an extra step. To speed things up even more, instead of using homemade sauce I’m using store bought spaghetti sauce and Alfredo sauce.
You can certainly use homemade sauce, and I do sometimes substitute my homemade marinara sauce in this recipe instead of spaghetti sauce because I almost always have some on hand. I’m also not cooking the lasagna noodles first, saving even more time.
To make this easy lasagna rosa, start by mixing the ricotta, mozzarella, eggs and half of the Parmesan cheese together in a large bowl.
In a second bowl, mix your red sauce and Alfredo sauce together until it is evenly combined.
Then spread a cup of sauce mixture evenly out over the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish. Place 4 lasagna noodles in the sauce.
Then spread another cup of sauce out over the noodles before you spoon on some of the cheese mixture. Repeat the process with 4 more noodles and more sauce and cheese. When you get to the last noodles, place them on top of the casserole and spread out the remaining sauce on top of the noodles.
Sprinkle the rest of the Parmesan cheese on top. Then cover the whole thing with foil and bake for an hour. Remove the foil and bake for an extra ten minutes.
To finish this delicious lasagna recipe, remove it from the oven and let it rest before you serve it. Don’t skip the resting step. This let’s everything set up so that you can get nice pretty slices.
