Lasagna


I made lasagna Saturday. It is one of my favorite recipes to make. I would not say that it is an award winning recipe, but no one ever has any complaints about the lasagna.

I used 9 lasagna noodles
1 pound ground beef (you could use Italian sausage if you like)
I jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce.
15 oz container of ricotta cheese
1 egg
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese
Boil noodles according to package directions. Drain
 Meanwhile brown the ground beef, add jar of spaghetti sauce.

Combine ricotta cheese, egg, and Parmesan cheese



Put a small amount of sauce in the bottom of 9x13 pan and layer 3 noodles
Add one half of the ricotta mixture
Add one third of the remaining sauce mixture. Repeat with another layer of noodles, cheese and sauce





Add the last three noodles, the remaining sauce and top with mozzarella cheese

Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove foil and bake 15 minute more or until cheese is brown. let sit about 10 minute before cutting and serving. I usually make garlic bread at this point while the lasagna is resting.

Enjoy!
