3 tablespoons oregano |
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika (or more for a spicier lasagne) |
2 sliced garlic cloves |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
3 (14 1/2 ounce) cans canned tomatoes, cut up |
1 cup tomato sauce |
1 (1 1/2 ounce) envelope spaghetti sauce mix (you can use less) |
8 ounces lasagna noodles |
1 lb mozzarella cheese, sliced |
1 cup ricotta cheese |
1/2 cup grates parmesan cheese |
2 bay leaves |

1. Brown beef in 3 quart saucepan or dutch oven.
