Ingredients
15ouncericotta cheese
4ozshredded mozzarella cheese
1/2cupshredded Parmesan cheese
2eggs
1/2teaspoonparsley
16ouncebox lasagna noodles
1poundbrowned ground beef
24ouncejar of your favorite tomato sauce
1teaspoonItalian seasoning
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375F degrees.
Bring water to a boil and then add lasagna noodles. Do not break them, they need to be rolled.
Cook lasagna until they are flexible, drain and add cooled water.
Once cooled, drain the water from the noodles.
Cheese Mix
In a bowl, mix together the eggs, ricotta, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese and parsley.
Ground Beef
Cook the ground beef until browned and add the jar of tomato sauce and oregano/Italian seasoning and allow to heat up. Mix up the sauce mix and bring to simmer, remove from heat.
Assembly
In your baking pan, put down a layer of meat sauce on the bottom (to keep the noodles from sticking), a couple Tablespoons full.
Take a noodle and lay flat on a cutting board. Take about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture and spread it on the noodle.(use less to stretch the cheese mixture to make more, or just make more cheese mix!)
Roll the noodle up so it looks like shredded wheat or a round bale of hay.
Place the noodle into the pan and repeat until all the lasagna noodles are filled or you run out of space or cheese mix. Push the noodles together more if you run out of space.
Add a layer of meat sauce on top of the noodles.
Take the meat sauce and pour it on top of the noodles evenly to keep them moist while cooking.
Take left over cup of mozzarella cheese and spread it on top of the sauce.
You can spread a little Italian seasoning on top of the cheese.
Place pan in the oven and bake until cheese is golden brown, 30-35 minutes.
Notes
If desired you can replace part of the ground beef with Italian sausage (1 part sausage, 3 parts ground beef is our preference).
