Easy Lasagna Recipe

Ingredients:

2 large eggs

1 lb ground beef

1 tsp minced garlic

½ lb sweet Italian sausage

48 oz. spaghetti sauce (your favourite sauce)

3 c. shredded mozzarella cheese

15 oz. ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese)

3/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese

2 tsp dried parsley or 4 tablespoons freshly snipped

12 lasagna noodles

¼ c. water

¼ tsp ground pepper

¼ tsp salt

PREPARATION:

Step 1: Cook the ground beef and sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain the excess grease when done and discard.

Step 2: To the skillet, add the minced garlic and spaghetti sauce, then let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

Step 3: Combine the ricotta, 2 cups of the mozzarella cheese, eggs, ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, salt, and ground black pepper in a large bowl until well blended.

Step 4: Using cooking spray, grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. On the bottom of the pan, spread 3/4 cup of the sauce and top with 3 uncooked lasagna noodles. Over the noodles, add ⅓ of the cheese mixture and ¼ of the sauce. Create another layer of noodles, cheese, sauce, noodles, cheese, and sauce (in order). For the last layer, add 3 more layers on top, then top with the rest of the sauce followed by the last 1 cup of mozzarella and Parmesan.

NOTE: Pour half a cup of water to the edges of the pan if the sauce turned out thick.

Step 5: Grease with cooking spray a sheet of aluminium foil. Tent the pan with it, greased-side-down.

Step 6: Place the lasagna in a preheated 350 degrees F oven and bake for about 50 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for another 10 minutes.

Step 7: Take the lasagna out of the oven when done and allow it to stand for at least 10 minutes before slicing

Enjoy !
