MEAT LASAGNA RECIPE

Lasagna Sauce Ingredients

Vegetable oil
2 cans crushed tomatoes
1 lb ground sirloin
1-2 tablespoons minced parsley
1-2 tablespoons minced Chopped basil
1 clove garlic, chopped
Salt and pepper

Lasagna Ingredients

1 recipe lasagna sauce
1 box curly-edged lasagna noodles
1-2 lbs. mozzarella, shredded (not pre-shredded)
2 lbs. ricotta
2 eggs
1-2 tablespoons minced parsley
Salt and pepper
Grated parmesan cheese

Make the sauce:

Heat a little oil in a pot and brown the ground sirloin. Once it's broken up and almost cooked through, add two cans of crushed tomatoes, and seasonings to taste (parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, basil). Simmer on very low uncovered for about an hour.

Make the lasagna:

Preheat oven to 350°F
Meanwhile, cook the lasagna noodles al dente. Carefully lift out each noodle by hand and lay them out on the counter. This way they won't break. Once they're cool, overlap them a little to save room while assembling.
Mix together ricotta, eggs, parsley, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.
Shred mozzarella with a box grater or in a food processor.
Assemble the lasagna:
Be sure to have the cheeses at hand and ready. Sauce the bottom of a lasagna pan. Layer with noodles, sauce, cheeses, and a little more sauce. Repeat until all noodles are used. Sprinkle a little more mozzarella and grated cheese on the top, and a bit more sauce.

Bake the lasagna:

Bake at 350 degrees until cooked through, hot, and bubbly — about 45 minutes. You can also store assembled uncooked lasagna in the refrigerator overnight and bake it the next day.
