Ingredients
- 2cups tomato sauceyou can use Pomi strained tomatoes
- 4cups vegetable stock or water
- 8/12crackers pane CasarauI used 1 and 1/2 square pack available at Trader Joe’s
- salt and pepper to season
- 2cups meat ragu’
- 1pound fresh mozzarella sliced
- 1/4cup freshly grated pecorino Romano cheese
- 1/4cup freshly grated parmigiano

- extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven at 350°F. Spoon a thin layer of tomato sauce into the bottom of a 9-by-12-inch lasagna pan. Wet the Pane Casarau crackers with the vegetable stock or the water to soften them. Then cover the tomato sauce with one layer of the Pane Casaurau. You can break the bread to fit pan.
- Spoon a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bread and season highly with salt and pepper. Add a thin layer of ragu’ sauce and spread. Sprinkle with a couple of teaspoons of the grated pecorino and parmigiano. Add 4 to 6 thin slices of the mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with basil leaves.
- Cover with a layer of the softened Pane Casarau and repeat for 2 or 3 more layers using all the ingredients. Top with a layer of tomato sauce and sprinkle evenly with the grated cheeses.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minute, or until the cheese on the top is melted and slightly golden brown. Drizzle with olive oil to finish.
Recipe Notes
I used a square version of Pane Casarau from Trader Joe’s. You can find the bread online at hwww.amazon.com/Pane-Carasau-Flatbread-Classic-gram/dp/B007W5OUB6
I have made the lasagna without ragu’ and I increased the amount of tomato sauce and the mozzarella.
