Olivieri Recipe and Giveaway (Canada)

There are moments where I am convinced that I watch too many episodes of Chopped on Food TV. These days, even I know I can make a really good recipe, I see ingredients and start thinking, “What can I make with these ingredients?” in the vein of Chopped. While I am still a relative novice in terms of cooking, I am starting to see how I can bring different ingredients and flavours together and come up with cool new recipes!

So when I first saw Olivieri’s Lasagna Sheets, I knew that I could make a kickin’ lasagna! My dad has the most amazing recipe (which I promise I’ll share in the future!). That being said, my mind started going into a different direction. I really wanted to try making something new!

So I decided to combine some flavours that I thought would mesh really well with the Olivieri Lasagna Sheets – I was excited to see how it would turn out! Because I’m still counting calories as part of a healthier lifestyle, I also wanted to make something that was filling but also would fit into my healthy-eating plan!

Beef and Mushroom Lasagna Rolls

Ingredients

Of course, I forgot the cheese and the Tomato Alfredo sauce in the photo - typical me!

2-3 sheets Olivieri Lasagna Sheets
1 can mushrooms, drained
1-2 tomatoes, chopped
4 ounces ground beef, drained and cooled
2 ounces cheddar cheese, grated
1 can Manwich sauce
1/2 cup Tomato-Alfredo sauce
1 teaspoon minced garlic

Directions
1. In a large bowl, combine Manwich sauce, Tomato-Alfredo sauce and garlic. Mix well.

2. Divide mixture into 3 bowls. In the first bowl, mix mushrooms into sauce. In the second bowl, add ground beef and mix thoroughly. In the third bowl, add chopped tomatoes and combine.

Ready to Roll!

3. Place the Olivieri Lasagna Sheets out on the table. Place a thin layer of mushroom sauce mixture on the entire sheet then layer the ground beef sauce mixture on top of half of the Lasagna Sheet. Sprinkle with grated cheese.

4. Roll the Lasagna Sheet then place into a large baking pan.

5. Repeat Steps 1-4 until all Lasagna Sheets are filled.

Ready to Bake!

6. Cover lasagna rolls thoroughly with tomato sauce mixture then cover pan with tin foil.

7. Bake for 40 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

8. Uncover and sprinkle with remaining cheese and broil for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted.

9. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes then slice each roll in half. Serve with a garden salad.

The result? Rich and tangy Lasagna Rolls that have a bit of a kick! I love the fact that the Olivieri Lasagna Sheets are so fresh that they were really easy to roll and that they have a great flavour!
