Ingredients

    Quail Egg Noodles

    • 4 tbsp cream cheese

    Marinara Filling

    • 2 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 small onion
    • 28 oz crushed tomatoes, canned
    • 1 tbsp dried basil
    • 1 tbsp dried parsley
    • 1 tbsp oregano
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 1 tsp pepper
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 pound ground meat
    • 1/2 cup diced onion
    • Salt and pepper

    For Layering

    • 2 cups ricotta cheese
    • 1 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Bake the lasagna:

    • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and bubbling.

  7. Cool and serve:

    • Let the lasagna cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

    • Enjoy your homemade quail egg lasagna!
