Ingredients
  • 9 Lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
  • 2 cups Ricotta cheese
  • 1 Egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup Parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 3 cups Meat sauce
  • 1 lb Ground beef
  • 2 or 3 cups of your favorite spaghetti sauce
    Directions
  1. Brown Hamburg, break up any large pieces. Drain
  2. Add your favorite spaghetti sauce to make a thick sauce, (approximately 2 or 3cups)
  3. For lasagna, in a bowl mix the ricotta cheese, beaten egg, parsley, and parmesan cheese together until well incorporated.
  4. In the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish, spread out 1/2 cup of sauce then place three lasagna noodles on top (if they do not overlap it is ok, they will spread out during baking).
  5. Then spread 1/2 of the ricotta mixture on top of the noodles and sprinkle a little mozzarella over it. Now spread about 3/4 cup meat sauce on top of that and place the next layer of noodles on top and repeat the ricotta and mozzarella layers.
  6. You should end with the last layer of noodles on top. Spread the rest of the sauce on top of the noodles and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
  7. Bake uncovered at 375 F for about 45 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. When finished let lasagna sit for 10 minutes. Cut and serve with a slice of French bread and enjoy.
