If you do not know what makes matzah, then nothing surprising is waiting for you - it's a simple bread made of wheat flour and water, with a little oil and salt, which is baked at high temperatures. But the recipes of what can be cooked from matzah, are much more fascinating. In addition to standard sandwiches, traditional Jewish bread is suitable for creating hot main courses, snacks and even desserts, and we decided to dedicate this article to their preparation.
Lasagna from matzah
Of course, there is no mention of any classic dish in the next recipe, rather, we will prepare a pie from matzo with meat, an abundance of cheese and sauce, which, however, does not make it worse than traditional Italian food.
Ingredients:
- Bolognese sauce - 750 ml;
- sheets of matzo (large) - 4 pcs .;
- Ricotta cheese - 390 g;
- eggs - 2 pieces;
- grated cheese or a mixture of cheeses.
Preparation
The dish is really amazingly fast. Having installed the oven for heating up to 180 degrees, we cover the bottom of the dish form with a small amount of bolognese (you can replace it with the usual tomato sauce), put the first sheet of matzo on top and lubricate it with the same sauce. We rub ricotta or cottage cheese with eggs and a pinch of salt, lay out another sheet of matzo and grease it with a curd mixture. Repeat the layers until the matzo comes to an end, as a final layer - curd sauce, and on top a layer of grated cheese. 40 minutes in the oven and express lasagna ready.

Sweets from Matzah - chocolate cake
