COOK 9 STRIPS OF LASAGNA NOODLES IN BOILING WATER UNTIL DONE. BE SURE AND ADD A COUPLE TEASPOONS OF OIL TO THE WATER TO KEEP YOU NOODLES FROM STICKING TOGETHER.DRAIN WATER, SIT ASIDE AND LET COOL.
BROWN I TO 2 LBS(DEPENDING ON HOW MEATY YOU LIKE YOUR LASAGNA) OF YOUR FAVORITE GROUND MEAT (BEEF OR TURKEY) YOU CAN ALSO DICE AN ONION AND BROWN THAT WITH YOUR MEAT (IF YOU LIKE ONIONS).
AFTER THE MEAT IS BROWNED DRAIN OUT ALL OF THE EXCESS GREASE FROM YOUR MEAT.
THEN PUT 2 JARS OF YOUR FAVORITE SPAGETTI SAUCE ( I USE HUNT'S TRADITIONAL IN THE CAN--CHEAP AND PERFECT FOR LASAGNA) IN A LARGE SAUCE PAN ADD YOUR MEAT AND LET IT SIMMER ON MED-LOW HEAT FOR 20-30 MINUTES STIR OFTEN .
THEN IN A BIG RECTANGLE SHAPED PAN START YOUR LAYERING.
ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PAN COVER WITH SAUCE / MEAT MIXTURE, SPREAD EVENLY.
NEXT: COVER THAT WITH EITHER RICOTTA OR COTTAGE CHEESE, SPREAD EVENLY.(I USE COTTAGE BUT ITS ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU LIKE)
NEXT: COVER THE COTTAGE CHEESE LAYER WITH A MOZZARELLA LAYER, SPREAD EVENLY.
NEXT: COVER WITH 3 LASAGNA NOODLES.TO MAKE SORT OF A POCKET.
DO THIS 3 TIMES ENDING WITH THE TOP LAYER BEING MOZZERELLA.
I LIKE CHEESE SO I USE ALOT, IF YOU LIKE CHEESE YOU MAY WANT TO BUY LIKE 2 BIG BAGS OF MOZZERELLA.
THEN: SIT YOUR VERY FULL PAN OF LASAGNA ON A COOKIE SHEET(BECAUSE IT MAY BUBBLE OVER SOME)
AND BAKE IN A 350 DEGREE OVEN UNTIL YOUR CHEESE STARTS TO GET GOLDEN BROWN ON TOP. USUALLY 30-45 MINUTES.
What usually takes the longest in making lasagna is the preparation of the different mixtures that will be layered to make the lasagna.
You can take short cuts by using your favorite bottled pasta sauce for what would normally be a homemade red sauce that cooks for hours. Too, you can skip the cooking of the lasagna noodles themselves [it DOES work] and you can by shredded or sliced cheeses instead of solid blocks.
The key to making lasagna is being organized. You should have all of your ingredients ready to go and use an assembly line method for creating the lasagna.
A simple lasagna may include just the lasagna noodles, pasta sauce, and cheese. If you wanted to add a ricotta or cottage cheese layer you certainly could.
Ingredients
9 lasagna noodles
1 25 ounce jar favorite pasta sauce
9 slices mozzarella cheese
Method
Heat oven to 350
Spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray.
Put a little bit of the pasta sauce on the bottom of the pan, spread it out evenly. Put 3 lasagna noodles side by side in the bottom of the pan. Put 1/3 of the sauce over the noodles. Then lay 3 slices of mozzarella cheese on top.
Put 3 more lasanga noodles side by side on top. Put another 1/3 of the sauce on top. The 3 more slice of mozzarella.
Finally, put down the last 3 lasagna noodles, the rest of the sauce and the rest of the mozzarella. If you have some parmesan cheese you can sprinkle that on top.
Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake 10 minutes longer to brown the cheese.
Remove from the oven and let rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
PREP WORK Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and if you are using standard lasagna noodles, bring a pot of water to boil to cook them.
HOW TO MAKE AT HOMEIn a large bowl, mix together the eggs, parmesan cheese, and ricotta cheese and season with salt, pepper, and spices.
Lightly coat the bottom of each pan with oil ( I like to use spray olive oil for this job) and then add a little sauce to coat the bottoms. This is especially important if you are using the no-boil noodles because the sauce will help them cook.
There are no hard and fast rules about the order you add ingredients, but it's basically adding a layer of pasta, some of the ricotta cheese mixture, more sauce, another layer of pasta, some mozzarella cheese, some more ricotta cheese mixture, more sauce and so on until you run out of ingredients.
The ingredients will settle a little bit when you bake the lasagna so build right to the top. Make sure you finish with sauce and if you have any left over, save it for when you are serving.
Cover each pan with some aluminum foil and bake for about 35 to 45 minutes until the center of the lasagna is hot, the cheese is melted, the edges are crisp, and your kitchen smells heavenly.
If you decide to eat the lasagna that day, make sure to let it sit for a least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Enjoy!
