This is a really good basic lasagna recipe. It's based on one I found somewhere, but I've tweaked it quite a bit to suit my own tastes. I like it as written with italian sausage, but you can substitute ground beef if you must. Ingredients:
1 1/4 lbs italian sausage, casings removed (i use spicy) |
1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce, of your choice |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes |
1 1/2 cups water |
1 garlic clove, chopped |
1 teaspoon italian seasoning |
12 ounces ricotta cheese (about 3/4 small container) |
3 cups grated mozzarella cheese |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese |
2 eggs |
1 tablespoon parsley |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1 (8 ounce) package lasagna noodles, uncooked |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350.
2. In large pan, brown italian sausage; drain.
3. Add spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, water, garlic and italian seasoning. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
4. In medium bowl, combine ricotta, 2 cups of the mozzarella, parmesan, eggs, parsley and pepper. Mix well.
5. Pour about 1 cup of the sauce on bottom of 9x13 pan.
6. Arrange 3 uncooked lasagna noodles over sauce; cover with about 1 cup sauce.
7. Spread 1/2 the cheese filling over sauce.
8. Repeat layers of lasagna, sauce and cheese filling.
9. Top with layer of lasagna and remaining sauce; sprinkle with remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
10. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
11. Remove foil; bake an additional 15 minutes.
12. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
