Hey fans of The Sopranos out there! I’ve got a treat for you today! The Garden State’s most gracious hostess, Carmela Soprano’s, famous lasagna. The recipe is straight from the 2006 book “Entertaining with the Sopranos” which includes a compilation of Carmela’s recipes. Her secret ingredient: layers of fresh basil leaves.
You’ll probably be uneasy about the ridiculous amount of fresh basil you use, but don’t worry, it’s not overpowering at all. NOTE: The meat sauce can be prepared and refrigerated a day ahead to save on time. Mangiamo!
INGREDIENTS – Carmela’s Meat Sauce (makes about ~8 cups):
1 medium onion, chopped
3 large garlic cloves, chopped
2 Tbsp. olive oil
8 oz. sweet Italian-style sausage, casings removed
1 lb. ground beef sirloin
~2 tsp. salt
~1 tsp. freshly ground pepper
One 35-oz. can Italian peeled tomatoes, chopped
One 28-oz. can tomato puree
6 fresh basil leaves, torn into bits
Carmela’s Lasagna with Basil Leaves:
1 lb. dried lasagna pasta
6 cups Meat Sauce (see recipe above)
2 lbs. ricotta cheese
~1 tsp. salt
~1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino Romano
1 large bunch fresh basil, leaves removed, rinsed and dried
12 oz. fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
One 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan
