Best Recipe for Smoked Paprika Open Face Lasagna
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 pound Mexican chorizo sausage, removed from casing
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 (28-ounce) can crushed Italian tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons smoked paprika, divided
- 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 8 lasagna noodles
- 1 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 cup grated manchego cheese
Instructions
- Watch how to make this recipe.
- Heat the 2 tablespoons of oil in a wide pot over medium-high heat. Once hot add the chorizo, ground beef onion, and garlic. Using a spatula, break up the meat as small as you can as it browns. Saute until dark brown, about 10 minutes.
- Add the red wine and simmer until the wine is reduced by half, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the tomatoes, 2 tablespoons smoked paprika, panko, heavy cream, and salt. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to very low, and cook for 15 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the lasagna noodles and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Put 1 lasagna noodle on each of 4 plates. Spoon the meat mixture over the pasta and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle on about 1/8 of the parsley and grated manchego. Lay another lasagna noodle on top. Sprinkle with more parsley and manchego over the second noodle and dust with remaining 1 tablespoon smoked paprika. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and serve.
