Beef Stroganoff Lasagna
Beef stroganoff - Russia's biggest icon. Spicier than Rasputin, better for you than vodka and slightly more delicious than Putin, this creamy, beefy stew has truly global influence. Different variations are out there with additions from sour cream to mushroom soup but ours is perfect between lasagna sheets - the cream won't split because of the bechamel but it still has those classic stroganoff flavours.

Cuisine: Italian
Recipe type: Lasagna
Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 2.2 lb thinly sliced steak
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups sliced button mushrooms
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 1 1\2 cups beef stock
  • 1 cup double cream
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Lasagna sheets
  • Grated mozzarella
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/360°F.
  2. Heat the oil in a large, deep sided frying pan until it smokes - you want it to be really hot so you can sear the beef. Add the beef, in batches if necessary, and brown, stirring quickly. Remove and place in a bowl.
  3. Add a little more oil along with the onions and sliced mushrooms and fry until soft, then add the garlic. Remove from the vegetables and place with the cooked steak.
  4. Heat the butter in the pan until foaming then stir in the flour and allow to cook for a minute or so. Pour in the beef stock gradually, briskly stirring all the time, to make a smooth sauce. Add the cream, salt, pepper, paprika and mustard and stir everything together to combine. Add the steak and vegetables back into the pan and allow to cook for a further 5 minutes or so.
  5. Add a layer of the stroganoff mixture to a greased lasagna dish and top with mozzarella and lasagna sheets. Repeat up to the top, finishing with a layer of pasta and cheese.
  6. Bake for around 40 minutes.
  7. Enjoy!

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • ½ cup marinara sauce, plus more for serving
  • 8 slices mozzarella cheese, divided

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  3. Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown, and set aside to cool.
  4. Using 3 separate bowls, add the flour to one, the eggs and whole milk to another and the breadcrumbs to the third. Whisk the eggs and milk together. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and coat with the flour, then dip into the egg mixture and finally in the breadcrumbs.
  5. In a cast-iron skillet over medium heat, add the vegetable oil. Cook the chicken breasts in batches for about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic and parsley. Set aside.
  7. Slice the garlic knot in half lengthwise and spread a large spoonful of marinara on the bottom slice. Add a chicken cutlet, another spoonful of marinara, two slices of mozzarella and half the Parmesan. Repeat this process with the other chicken cutlet and place the remaining garlic knot slice on top.
  8. Brush with the garlic and butter mixture and return to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Transfer to a platter, slice in half and chow down!

  • ¼ cup (60 mL) whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (185 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ cup (85 g) semisweet chocolate chip
  • ½ cup (120 mL) heavy whipping cream, hot
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. If your bananas aren’t already very ripe, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until they are nearly black. Be careful to not overcook or the bananas will leak.
  3. Let the bananas cool to room temperature. Increase the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C).
  4. Peel the bananas, then place them in a large bowl. Mash bananas using a hand mixer or fork.
  5. Add the egg, vegetable oil, sugar, milk, and vanilla. Beat until combined.
  6. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the banana mixture. Beat until just combined, being careful to not overmix.
  7. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the chocolate sprinkles into the batter.
  8. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray. Divide the batter among the cups.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the tops are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  10. Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof liquid measuring cup. Pour over the hot heavy cream. Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  11. While the muffins are still warm, use the back of a wooden spoon to push down a hole into the center of each muffin. Allow to cool to room temperature.
  12. Fill the muffins with the chocolate ganache.
  13. Chill the muffins in the fridge for at least 1 hour, until the center has set.

Garlic Bread Bowl with Spaghetti

Garlic Bread Bowl with Spaghetti
Get this: a garlic bread bowl... with spaghetti... Did we just break your brain, bro?
Author:
Cuisine: Italian
Recipe type: Spaghetti
Ingredients
  • 1 large sourdough loaf
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 4 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups marinara sauce, warmed
  • 1 cup spaghetti, cooked
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups breadcrumbs
Instructions
  1. Make the garlic bread bowl: Preheat the oven to 375, and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine butter, parsley, garlic, Parmesan and salt. Set aside while you prepare the bread loaf.
  3. Cut the top third off the loaf. Cut slits in the loaf, approximately 3 lengthwise and 5 widthwise, taking care to not cut all the way through to the bottom. Carve out the inside of the bottom loaf, leaving less than an inch border around the sides. Save the filling for breadcrumbs for the meatballs. Brush the top (which should now look like fifteen ½-inch rectangles) with half of the butter mixture. Brush the inside of the bowl with the remaining butter mixture, and bake both for 10 to 12 minutes until golden and fragrant. Wrap the bowl and top in foil to keep warm while you make the filling.
  4. Make the breadcrumbs: In a medium bowl, break up the remaining loaf insides into small ½-inch pieces. Add olive oil and remaining salt and toss to coat. Spread the pieces on the other baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until dried out and golden. Once cooled, grind crumbs into fine pieces resembling coarse sand.
  5. Make the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  6. In a medium bowl, add ground beef, pork, eggs, parsley and garlic. Mix to combine, and add salt and pepper. Fold in breadcrumbs and roll into approximately twenty 2-inch meatballs. Evenly space the meatballs out on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the center temperature reads 150 degrees.
  7. Assemble the garlic bread bowl: Preheat the oven to broil, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Fill the garlic bread bowl halfway with warmed marinara sauce. Place prepared spaghetti and meatballs inside, and top with remaining marinara. Top the bowl with shredded mozzarella. Place in oven alongside the top of the bread bowl and broil for 5 minutes until cheese bubbles and turns golden. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
