Day 22: What is your favorite recipe?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love Kale Lasagna. I found this recipe when I was attempting to the South Beach Diet. (It was an epic fail, by the way). I like making it when we have friends over, and it’s one of Brighton’s favorites now.<\/p>\n

DISCLAIMER: This is not my recipe, this was adapted from Kalyn’s Kitchen<\/a>. She has some great low-carb recipes!<\/em><\/p>\n

Sausage and Kale Mock Lasagna Casserole<\/b><\/a>
\n (Makes 6-8 servings; recipe created by Kalyn.)<\/a><\/p>\n

\"1-sausage-kale-mock-lasagne-500x500-kalynskitchen\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(Source<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/b>
\n2 medium-sized bunches of kale
\n1 tsp. salt (for water to cook kale)
\n2 tsp. olive oil
\n*1 pkg (19.5 oz) hot turkey Italian Sausage
\n**3 cups low-sugar pasta sauce (I used Classico Tomato and Basil sauce from a jar because I didn’t have any homemade sauce)
\n1 tsp. dried basil
\n1 tsp. ground fennel (I use fennel seeds)
\n2 T + 2 T finely grated Parmesan cheese
\n1 C + 1 C grated reduced-fat mozzarella cheese<\/p>\n

*I usually switch the sausage out for ground beef or turkey.\u00a0<\/strong>
\n**I use the Classico\u00a0Spicy Tomato and Basil sauce. It adds a good flavor to the dish too.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/b><\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 375F\/190C.\u00a0 Spray a 9″ x 12″ lasagna-type glass or crockery casserole dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.<\/div>\n

Add the salt to a large pot of water and bring to a boil.\u00a0 Trim stems from the kale, then cut the kale into ribbons about 1\/2 inch wide.\u00a0 When the water starts to boil add the kale, lower heat so the water is gently boiling, and cook kale 5-6 minutes.\u00a0 Drain kale into a colander in the sink and let it continue to drain while you prepare other ingredients.\u00a0 (I used a salad spinner to gently spin the water from the cooked kale and then let it continue to drain.)<\/p>\n

While the kale is cooking, heat the oil in a large heavy frying pan, squeeze sausage out of the casings, and saute until the sausage is cooked through and nicely browned, breaking it apart with the turner as it cooks.\u00a0 When the sausage is done, add the pasta sauce, dried basil, and ground fennel.\u00a0 Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer 20-25 minutes, or until it’s thickened and the liquid is reduced.<\/div>\n
In the casserole dish, layer 1\/2 the drained kale, sprinkle 2 T Parmesan, 1\/2 the sauce, and 1 cup mozzarella.\u00a0 Repeat with another layer of kale, Parmesan, sauce, and mozzarella.\u00a0 Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake another 15-20 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and cheese is starting to brown.<\/div>\n

Let the mock lasagna sit for about 5 minutes before you cut it.\u00a0 Serve hot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
