Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the quail egg noodles:
Blend quail eggs, almond flour, and cream cheese in a blender until smooth.
Pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking tray and spread evenly.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, ensuring it doesn't brown too much.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Once cool, slice into four even sheets using a knife or pizza cutter.
Make the marinara sauce:
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat.
Add half the diced onion and sauté until translucent.
Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
Prepare the meat filling:
Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the remaining diced onion and cook until softened.
Add ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned.
Stir in the marinara sauce until fully combined.
Assemble the lasagna:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a casserole or baking dish, spread a thin layer of the marinara meat sauce at the bottom.
Place one sheet of the quail egg noodles on top.
Add a layer of meat sauce, followed by dollops of ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of grated mozzarella.
Repeat layering until all noodle sheets are used, finishing with a top layer of meat sauce, ricotta, and mozzarella.
Bake the lasagna:
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and bubbling.
Cool and serve:
Let the lasagna cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your homemade quail egg lasagna!
