Do any of you go to Strings Italian Cafe? I fell in love with their salad 12 years ago. I just love it. They have another enticing item on their menu, the whole family likes. I decided one day to figure out how to make it at home, and after only two tries, it worked. It is a lasagna stuffed pastry.
First, make your family favorite lasagna, and save the leftovers in the fridge. Wait two days, so it dries up a little bit. Then all you'll need is to make puff pastry dough, or purchase it in the freezer section of your grocer. I haven't mastered puff pastry dough, so I still buy mine! You will also need a bit of marinaria and alfreado sauce, an egg, and some garlic powder. Ready? Let's cook!
Cut out as many squares of lasagna as you will need. Then cut your pastry dough to about double the size of your piece of lasagna.
Place the lasagna in the center of your dough square and seal up the sides and bottom, tucking and pinching until the whole thing is a ball with no openings.
Place on a baking sheet with the seams down. Cut two vents into the top of your pastry. Soak garlic powder into an egg white, and brush onto the entire pastry.
Follow baking instructions on the package of the puff pastry, or bake at 350 until completely golden brown. Place hot pastry on a plate, and pour alfreado on one side, and marinaria on the other. Serve with a crisp green salad! Enjoy and happy cooking!
