Ingredients
  

  • 1 wide rustic baguette
  • garlic herb oil
  • 6 cooked lasagna noodles divided
  • meat sauce divided
  • 2/3 cup béchamel sauce divided
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella divided
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 1 onion diced
  • 12 oz ground beef
  • 1 tsp paprika

Instructions
 

  • Make a deep rectangular cut all the way around the top of the baguette and hollow out the inside of the bread loaf.
  • For the garlic herb oil, combine the olive oil, garlic, and parsley and spread the mixture over the inside of the hollowed-out baguette.
  • Boil the lasagna noodles in lightly salted water. Cut the cooked noodles in half lengthwise and place 3 strips on the bottom of the hollowed-out baguette.
  • For the meat sauce, heat some olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sweat the onions. Brown the ground beef and stir in the paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and tomato sauce.
  • Spread a layer of meat sauce over the lasagna noodles in the baguette, followed by a layer of béchamel sauce and a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.
