Old Bob Evans Easy Lasagna Recipe? Out of the old cook book, which asks for ricotta cheese flavored with herb?

Question

This is not the latest recipe listed on the web and website. An old Bob Evans recipe that calls for the ricotta to be spiced with oregano and/or basil. I lost the cook book! Please save me!

Thank you, "Quite New At This", but I must be a dinosaur. I'm looking for the recipe that specifically adds herbs to the ricotta, and there is no parmesan cheese. My husband swears it also requires marinara sauce. AGH! Got the cookbook years ago in Ohio. So. The recipe does not require "chunky" sauce of any sort. No parmesan. I've searched and searched the web! Agh, again!

I guess when I say old recipe I should let people know just how old!!!

Answer 1

I know that this is not the recipe you are looking for, but if you subsitute Bob Evans sausage for the ground beef, leave out the Parmesan, and subsitute more Mozzarella for the Provolone it might be pretty close.

BAKED LASAGNA

1 lb. lasagna noodles
1 lb. ground beef
4 c. (32 oz.) spaghetti sauce
1 1/2 lbs. shredded Mozzarella
1 1/2 lbs. shredded Provolone
2 lbs. Ricotta
2 eggs
1/3 c. grated Parmesan
Oregano
Italian seasoning

1. Boil noodles; drain on paper towels; set aside.
2. Brown ground beef; add to 3 cups sauce; set aside.

3. Mix Ricotta, eggs, 1/4 cup Parmesan, 1/2 cup Mozzarella, 1/2 cup Provolone, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning; set aside.

4. Mix remaining Mozzarella, Provolone; set aside.

5. Cover bottom of 13x9x2 inch baking dish with 1/2 cup plain sauce.

6. Layer noodles, Ricotta mixture, shredded cheese, meat sauce, repeat; end with noodles.

Here is the rigatoni. I think you remembered this one.
