Description

Smoked Brisket Lasagna is a rich and smoky twist on classic lasagna, featuring tender smoked brisket layered between sheets of pasta, creamy ricotta cheese, tangy marinara sauce, and melted mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. This hearty dish combines smoky flavors with Italian-American comfort food, perfect for a satisfying main course.

Ingredients

Meat

  • 2 cups smoked brisket, shredded

Pasta

  • 9 lasagna noodles

Sauces & Cheese

  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Other Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the lasagna evenly.
  2. Cook Noodles: Boil the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly to prevent sticking.
  3. Prepare Ricotta Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, and Italian seasoning. Mix well to create a smooth, seasoned cheese filling.
  4. Layer Sauce: Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish to prevent sticking and add flavor to the base layer.
  5. Assemble Layers: Add a layer of cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce. Then spread some of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by shredded smoked brisket, a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese, and additional marinara sauce. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of noodles topped with remaining sauce.
  6. Add Cheese Topping: Generously sprinkle the top layer with shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese to create a golden, bubbly crust once baked.
  7. Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil to keep moisture in and bake the lasagna for 25 minutes, allowing the ingredients to meld and heat through.
  8. Uncover and Finish Baking: Remove the foil carefully and continue baking for another 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden brown.
  9. Rest Before Serving: Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes after removing it from the oven. This helps the layers set for easier slicing and improves flavor melding before serving.

Notes

  • Leftover smoked brisket works perfectly for this recipe, adding robust smoky flavor and tender texture.
  • You can substitute fresh homemade marinara sauce for a more personalized flavor.
  • Allow the lasagna to cool slightly after baking for better slicing and presentation.
  • Ricotta mixture can be seasoned with extra herbs like basil or parsley if desired.
