Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
DIRECTIONS:
Place hambone, ham, garlic, onion, carrots, celery, beans, oregano, rosemary and bay leaves into a 6-qt slow cooker. Stir in 6 cups water until well combined; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Cover and cook on low heat for 7-8 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours. Remove and discard hambone.
Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
Heat a large, high-side skillet or dutch oven over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the zucchini, mushroom and red pepper. Season with salt + pepper. Cook 3 minutes or until just lightly caramelized. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Stir in the tomato pasta sauce, milk and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, lentils + 1/4 cup water. Break each lasagna noodle into 2-3 pieces and stir them into the sauce, making sure most of them are submerged. Cook until the noodles are al dente and the lentils are soft, about 15 minutes. If the sauce seems like it is getting too thick, add water to thin.
Stir in the spinach + basil until they have wilted down into the sauce. Remove from the heat and add the mozzarella, provolone and parmesan.
Place the skillet on a large baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly. Remove and let sit 5 minutes. Serve with basil pesto and fresh parmesan. Enjoy!
In a large, high-sided skillet, brown the chorizo all over, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Once the chorizo is browned all over, add the tomatoes, cumin, smoked paprika and chipotle chili powder stirring to combine. Slowly pour in the milk and bring the sauce to a bubble. Reduce the heat and simmer 15-20 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and boil the pasta until al dente. Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Pour one can of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a lasagna pan or a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Lay the lasagna sheets flat on a clean surface and spread each with cream cheese. Once the chorizo sauce has thickened, spoon a little sauce onto each lasagna sheet and then roll it up into a cute little pasta roll. Place the pasta in the baking dish with the enchilada sauce and repeat with the remaining lasagna sheets + filling. Spoon any extra filling over the pasta and then pour the remaining can of enchilada sauce over the lasagna rolls. Sprinkle the cheese over the rolls. Cover the dish and place on a large cookie sheet with sides. Bake covered, for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 15 minutes or until the cheese is golden and browned.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a skillet, once hot add the oregano leaves and fry the leaves 30 seconds. Drain on paper towels.
Garnish the lasagna rolls with the fried oregano. EAT!
