Hi. This one is awesome and relatively easy. Brown a pound or so of ground beef with onion, green peppers, one clove of garlic minced, and salt and pepper to taste. When brown, drain grease and add 1 small can tomato paste and 1 large can diced tomatoes. Get that all stirred up then add about a teaspoon of Italian Seasoning. Let that simmer for about 15 minutes, and you have your sauce. To prepare the noodles, put about twelve of them into boiling water with a dash of salt and about a tablespoon of oil in it. If they don't fit into the pan, it's okay, they will get soft quickly and you can then manipulate them into the pan. When they are done, drain them and rinse them with cold water to prevent them from sticking together.

Then, you take your pan. (For this recipe, use a 9 by 13) Put half the noodles in the bottom after spraying with PAM. then, you take a tub of ricotta cheese (not cottage cheese, it is runny and gross) and mix it with an egg. put half the ricotta cheese on top of the noodles (I use a spoon and spread it because it is a little tricky). Then put half of a one pound package of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of that. Then put half of your sauce. Sprinkle the top with a good amount of grated Parmesan, some Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cover this layer with the rest of the noodles. If the noodles are too long, on the first layer let them go up the sides, but on the second layer you need to cut them to fit. Then, put on the rest of the ricotta mixture, the rest of the mozzarella, then the rest of the sauce. Then sprinkle the top with a liberal amount of parmesan, and some Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Then put in a 350 oven for about a half an hour, or until everything is really bubbly. Serve with some good garlic bread and a tossed salad. After assembly and before baking, you can store the lasagna in the fridge for a day or so if necessary, and many cooks feel this actually enhances the flavor of the lasagna.
