Ingredients

• 6 matzo sheets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
• 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1.5 cups ricotta cheese
• 1 egg
• 2 cups, shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups, grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a spoon, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the sauce on low heat for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 5

In a small mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and egg. Stir until well blended and set aside.

Step 6

Soak the matzo sheets in water for 1-2 minutes until they are slightly softened but not falling apart. Drain and set aside.

Step 7

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of the dish.

Step 8

Layer 2 matzo sheets over the sauce. Spread a layer of the ricotta mixture over the matzo, followed by a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

Step 9

Repeat the layering process (meat sauce, matzo, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of mozzarella and Parmesan on top.

Step 10

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 11

Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Scacchi Passover Lasagna!
