Description
This was originally my mom's recipe and used to be a favorite when we were kids. I always requested it for my birthday dinner.
Ingredients
- Italian Sausage
- Ground Beef
- Garlic
- Dried Basil
- Salt
- Whole Tomato
- Tomato Paste
- Ricotta Cheese
- Cottage Cheese
- Parmesan Cheese
- Parsley Flakes
- Eggs
- Ground Black Pepper
- Lasagna Noodle
- Mozzarella Cheese
Instructions
- Brown the sausage and ground meat and drain all the fat
- Add all the other ingredients for the meat filling and simmer on the stove, uncovered, for about 1 / 2 hour
- I usually add a bay leaf or two
- Mix up the cheese filling and set aside in fridge until ready to use
- Put the noodles in salted water and cook until soft when poked with a fork
- When the noodles are done, drain the noodles and rinse off with cold water so they can be handled easily
- Spray the baking pan with a non-stick spray and put a layer of noodles down on the bottom of the pan
- It is ok to cut some of the noodles to fit into the pan if they do not fit whole
- Spread half the cheese filling over the noodels, then half of the mozarella cheese on top of that, then half of the meat sauce over the grated mozarella cheese
- Repeat layers and then top with more mozarella cheese
- Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes
- Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting into it
- Leftovers can be easily stored in the freezer
