Lasagna

Unfortunately I did not take a picture of the lasagna when it was done but it was really delicious! To make things easier I will just divide the recipe into the layers that are needed in the lasagna.

Things that will be needed for layering:

• Lasagna Pasta
• Mozzarella (shredded and sliced for the top)
• Parmesan
• Ground Beef (recipe below)
• Tomato Sauce (recipe below)
• Ricotta filling (recipe below)

Sauce Recipe

Prego Sauce

Garlic/ginger paste

Basil leaves

Thyme

Lemon

Black pepper

Salt

Add in all of the ingredients and cook. Keep in mind that the meat is going to be added into the sauce so you want to make sure that the sauce is slightly more than the meat.

Ground Beef Recipe

Ground beef

Tomato

Onion

Garlic/ ginger paste

Oil

Garam masala

Red chilli powder

Salt

In heated oil add onion garlic/ ginger paste. Then add in the beef and the spices. Then add in the tomato. Cook and then when it is cooked add the meat into the tomato sauce. Then this layer is complete.

Ricotta Filling

1 egg

15 oz ricotta cheese

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Black pepper

Salt

In a bowl mix the ricotta cheese, mozzarella, black pepper, egg, and salt. This mixture is done.

Now, in the dish you are going to use to bake the lasagna in add 1/3 of the sauce/meat mixture. Then add the pasta layer. After that comes the ricotta cheese layer, but before moving onto the next layer sprinkle parmesan cheese on the ricotta cheese layer. After this layer is complete continue layering (sauce, pasta, ricotta, parm, pasta etc.) However when you get to your last layer of ricotta instead of layering pasta again just finish off with the meat sauce and then top with slices of mozzarella cheese.

Heat the oven to 475 degrees for 45 mins. If the mozzarella does not brown a little- change your oven setting to broil so that you get a nice looking dish!
