Lasagne
I made the best lasagne last week. I used my mother's recipe and it was great.
1 large can of whole tomatoes with basil (Hunts)
1 small can of tomato paste (1/2 c water) + some wine (Hunts)
1.5 # or more of ground chuck; some hot sausage
fresh parsley
fresh basil
two small garlic cloves, minced
eggs (2) Mix beaten eggs into ricotta
lasagne noodles (the kind you boil of 15 mins or more)
Ricotta (whole) (same as on the package of noodles)
Mozzerella (sliced) fresh if you can find it (same as on noodle box)
1/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese
Saute garlic with beef/sausage til browned. Squash whole tomatoes and add paste. Add 3/4 c water. Mix in the browned beef and garlic. Add salt and pepper. Simmer for 20 mins.
Layers: Sauce; noodles; ricotta; mozzerella; parmesan cheese; sauce. End with tomato sauce ontop of noodles.
Bake 375 for 40 mins or til very bubbly and all cheeses have melted. Let sit for 15 min before serving. If you make three really full layers in your pan, might want to cover with tinfoil for the 40 mins and then bake 10 mins more w/o foil.
