Delicious And Easy Stuffing Recipes Recipes Recipe For Lasagna

WORLD'S BEST LASAGNA

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, cook sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until well browned. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Season with sugar, basil, fennel seeds, Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons parsley. Simmer, covered, for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain noodles, and rinse with cold water. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg, remaining parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• To assemble, spread 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange 6 noodles lengthwise over meat sauce. Spread with one half of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with a third of mozzarella cheese slices. Spoon 1 1/2 cups meat sauce over mozzarella, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers, and top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil: to prevent sticking, either spray foil with cooking spray, or make sure the foil does not touch the cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.

EASIEST LASAGNA EVER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9×13 baking dish or coat with nonstick spray. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add ground beef and onion and cook until beef has browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the beef as it cooks; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Drain excess fat. Stir in tomatoes and Italian seasoning until well combined. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, 1/2 cup mozzarella and egg; set aside. Spread 1 cup tomato mixture onto the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish; top with 3 lasagna noodles, 1/2 of the ricotta cheese mixture and 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat with a second layer. Top with remaining noodles, tomato mixture, 1 cup mozzarella cheese and Parmesan.* Place into oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until bubbling. Then broil for 2-3 minutes, or until top is browned in spots. Let cool 15 minutes. Serve, garnished with parsley, if desired.

EASY DELICIOUS ITALIAN LASAGNA

Steps:

• Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions; drain and set aside.
• In a large skillet heat the 2 or 3 tbsp olive oil (your choice of how much to use) add the Italian sausage, onion, and mushrooms (cook sausage well).
• Stir in spaghetti sauce, garlic powder, salt, oregano, and basil. Cook until sauce is bubbly & heated through.
• In a 2-quart buttered baking dish (I'm lazy & use Pam spray) (about 11x7x2-inches), layer 1/3 of the lasagna noodles, 1/3 of the sauce and 1/3 of the ricotta cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and Parmesan cheeses. Repeat layers twice. Note: I use more then 1 & 1/2 cups of the ricotta cheese so use best judgment & what looks good to you. 1 & 1/2 is pretty much an estimate of how much to use. My family seems to like it with extra ricotta.
• Bake lasagna at 350° for about 30 minutes, or until thoroughly heated and bubbly & the cheese looks melted & toasty on the top. Let stand for 8 to 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
