Classic Lasagna
Ingredients
12 ounces bulk Italian or pork sausage or ground beef
1 cup chopped onion (1 large)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed (optional)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
6 dried lasagna noodles
1 beaten egg
1 15-ounce container ricotta cheese or 2 cups cream-style cottage cheese, drained
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
6 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
1. For sauce, in a large saucepan cook sausage, onion, and garlic until meat is brown. Drain.
2. Stir in undrained tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, fennel seeds (if desired), and black pepper into meat mixture. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Meanwhile, cook noodles for 10 to 12 minutes or until tender but still firm. Drain noodles; rinse with cold water. Drain well; set aside.
4. For filling, combine egg, ricotta, and the 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
5. Spread about 1/2 cup of the sauce over the bottom of a 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Layer half of the cooked noodles in the bottom of the dish, trimming or overlapping as necessary to fit. Spread with half of the filling. Top with half of the remaining meat sauce and half of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers. If desired, sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese over top.
6. Place baking dish on a baking sheet. Bake in a 375 degree Foven for 30 to 35 minutes or until heated through. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Makes 8 servings.
Make-ahead directions: Prepare as above through step 5. Cover unbaked lasagna; chill for up to 24 hours. To serve, bake, covered, in a 375 degree F oven for 40 minutes. Uncover; bake about 20 minutes more or until heated through. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Quick Lasagna:
Substitute 6 no-boil lasagna noodles (one-third of a 9 ounce package) for the regular lasagna noodles and skip step 3. Omit the tomatoes, tomato sauce, and Italian seasoning, fennel seeds, and pepper. For sauce, stir a 26-ounce jar pasta sauce into the browned meat mixture. Do not simmer. Continue as directed in step 4.

Yes ha ha..I just made this last night:

1 lb. ground beef

1/2 cup KRAFT 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese, divided

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Brown meat in large skillet on medium-

high heat. Meanwhile, mix 1-1/4 cups of the mozzarella cheese, the ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese, the parsley and egg until well blended; set aside. Drain meat; return to skillet. Stir in spaghetti sauce. Pour water into empty sauce jar; cover and shake well. Add to skillet; stir until well blended. (You should have about 5 cups sauce.)

SPREAD 1 cup of the meat sauce onto bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish; top with layers of 3 lasagna noodles, 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture and 1 cup of the meat sauce. Repeat layers two more times. Top with remaining 3 noodles and the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with remaining 1-1/4 cups mozzarella cheese and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Cover tightly with greased foil.

BAKE 45 min. Remove foil; continue baking 15 min. or until center is heated through (160°F). Let stand 15 min. before cutting for easier serving.

This is a very simple recipe but my family loves it and it is all eaten - no left overs. Boil your noodles drain and set aside. Brown your ground beef, drain set aside.

Now this is the fun part. Take one of hte bottled pasta mixes like Ragu or Prago, and put a little on the bottom of your baking pan. Layer noodles on the bottom, put ground beef on next, drained chopped spinach, cottage cheese or ricotta cheese, chopped onions, and mozzarella cheese then sauce. . Next start your layering over again - noodles, meat, chopped spinach, cottage cheese, chopped onions and mozzarela topped with sauce. Continue layering until you have used all your ingredients and have filled the pan. Top with sauce and mozarella cheese. Put in the oven 350 degrees for about an hour to an hour and a half.... Delicious.

It's really simple, just time consuming; I could give you recipes, but I see you already have one listed; just remember one thing that will cut back on a lot of time and effort...those noodle that Ronzoni has that don't need to be cooked ahead of time really do work! Just remember to put sauce on the bottom first, then layer according to whatever recipe you choose!
