Here’s a Passover-friendly version of a meat lasagna. Feel free to swap lean ground chicken or turkey for the beef. If you eat dairy and meat together, consider sprinkling with a bit of freshly grated Parmesan cheese just before serving. For a flavorful change of pace, substitute smoked paprika for the regular paprika called for here and use minced fresh rosemary in place of the oregano. You could also substitute stemmed and chopped fresh kale leaves for the spinach here. If you're lucky enough to have any, leftovers reheat well and are a delicious treat.

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add beef to skillet and cook, breaking up meat as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes; drain off fat.
