LASAGNA DIP

 Cheesy, saucy lasagna dip that whips up in less than 30 minutes and goes perfectly with any favorite Italian dish! 

On a different, but equally cheesy note, this lasagna dip is also heaven. Saucy, cheesy, Italian goodness in the form of a dip you can dunk your favorite garlic bread or breadsticks into. I’m in love with it! My husband and I don’t even like traditional red lasagna, but we both died of bliss when we tasted this dip. No noodles, just all of the cheese and saucy wonderfulness that goes into a lasagna dip, except it’s dip-able. Everything is better when it’s dip-able. This is an absolute must-make for your next Italian night, it will go perfect with any of your favorite pasta dishes!

Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS

• 8 ounces ground turkey
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 8 ounces ricotta cheese
• 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese, divided
• 2 cups Italian-style tomato sauce (use your favorite red pasta/pizza sauce - I used a garlic basil version from Bertolli)
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• optional: fresh parsley
• breadsticks or garlic bread for dipping

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Add ground turkey and oil to a pan. Stir over medium heat until cooked through, being sure to break up the sausage into small pieces as it cooks. Set aside.
3. Mix together ½ cup parmesan cheese and ricotta cheese. Spread mixture into the bottom of a small-medium casserole dish.
4. Add tomato sauce in an even layer on top of ricotta mixture. Top with ground turkey. Sprinkle remaining parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese on top of the meat and sauce.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is bubbly. Top with fresh parsley if desired and serve with breadsticks or garlic bread for dipping. Enjoy!
