Sauce:

Crushed tomatoes
Oregano
Sage
Bay Leaf
Salt

Garlic Powder

Depending on how many people it's for, add ingrediants to a sauce pot, do to flavour please, that's how I do it. Cook until ready and remove from heat.



Cheese Filling

Ricotta
Eggs
Nutmeg
Spinach (finly chopped)
Portabella mushrooms (sliced thinly - a Blackthorn addition)
Roasted Red Peppers (sliced to lay flatly - a Blackthorn addition)

Mix the container of ricotta with 2 eggs, and add nutmeg (about a tablespoon I think) add a hanfdfull of the chopped spinach. It should look like there is a lot of green streaks in the cheese when your done.

The Rest

Sauce
Cheese mix
Mozzerella
Parmesean

2 or 3 layers of noodles, followed by a thin layer of sauce, followed by a layer of noodles, then a layer of some spinach, followed by a layer of noodles, then a layer of sauce, then a layer of noodles and the cheese filling 1/2), then a layer of noodles, then a lyer of spinach, then a layer of noodles, and a layer of the rest of the cheese, then a layer of noodles, and a layer of sauce. Then layer on the mozzerella, and sprinkle with parmasean cheese.

Cook in the oven a t 350 till the cheese is melted and golden browning on top (not too dark though).


If you have left over cheese mix and noodels


Pour some Sauce thinly over the bottom of a caserole dish
Take some cheese mix, and place a slab of it on a lasagna noodle. Have to about an inch in diamater, and the travel the width of the noodle ad some mozza cheese on top of the slab.. roll the noodle around the slab and place in a caserole dish. Repeat until you have it full. Pour a little bit of sauce overtop, don't completely cover, but do cover about 2/3 of each roll. Cook in the oven for 35 minutes. or until cheese is melty.

I beleive this is called Manicotti.
