Lasagne

This recipe minimizes the amount of saturated fat from the beef. If that isn't a concern to you, simply fry the ground beef and ignore the other instructions.

  1. Preheat oven to 350–400°F.
    (Time and temperature depend on brand of noodle.)
  2. Brown, drain, and set aside:
    • 500 g Ground Beef.
  3. In same pot, sauté in Olive Oil:
    • 1 — Chopped Onion.
    • 3 cloves — Crushed Garlic.
  4. Mix into onion/garlic, and heat:
    • Ground Beef (above).
    • a little — Red Wine.
    • 1 Tbs — Oregano.
    • 1 Tbs — Basil.
    • 26 oz — Diced Tomatoes.
    • 26 oz — Crushed Tomatoes.

    This produces nearly 2 kg of sauce.

  5. Build 12 layers fully covering a large casserole dish (squeeze out trapped air before putting sauce onto noodles):
    • ¼ of Sauce(above).
    • Dry Oven-ready Lasagna Noodles (Check box for cooking time and temperature.)
    • ½ 500 g of Ricotta Cheese.
    • ½ 400 g Mozzarella Cheese.
    Then:
    • Ditto.
    Then:
    • Half of remaining Sauce.
    • Lasagna Noodles.
    Then:
    • Rest of Sauce.
    • Grated Parmesan Cheese.
  6. Bake for 30–45 minutes at 350–400°F.
    (Time and temperature depend on brand of noodle.)
  7. Cool and serve with salad and red wine.
