You can’t go wrong with a winter staple like lasagna. We put a Furlani twist on this recipe and swapped out traditional lasagna noodles for our Garlic Texas Toast. Trust us, it doesn’t get better than this!

Reserve any remaining meat sauce to use as a quick pasta sauce or as sloppy joes between 2 slices of Furlani Garlic Texas Toast.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Prepare Furlani Garlic Texas Toast according to package instructions. Remove and set aside. Reduce oven to 350°F.
Heat olive oil in a large saucepot over medium-high heat. Add the mirepoix (onion, carrots, and celery) and ground beef. Break up the beef and stir occasionally until beef has browned- around 10 minutes. Add tomatoes, beef stock, and sprinkle in crushed red pepper, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and stir occasionally for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and use an immersion blender to create the meat sauce.
Spread one third meat sauce evenly in a 9” by 13” casserole dish. Arrange 6 Furlani Garlic Texas Toast pieces on top. Add another one third meat sauce over the garlic bread and cover with 6 slices of cheese. Layer another 6 slices of Furlani Garlic Texas Toast, spread remaining meat sauce and top with the last 6 slices of mozzarella cheese.
Place in the middle rack for and cook 30 minutes. Let cool slightly, cut into squares, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve. Buon appetito!
