Answer 1

This is my handed down family recipe for lasagna.

Most lasagna recipes...you can taste too much of one ingredient. Not this one...it is phenominal! This makes a big old pan of Lasagna, or a few small pans. I either make a big one for parties...or a few small ones for just us....they freeze wonderfully!

Sauce:

4 big cans of tomato sauce
1 lg can of tomato juice
1 lg can of tomato paste (soup can size)
2 green peppers
1 1/2 lg onions
4 cloves garlic, chopped
4 to 5 lbs ground beef
parmesan and romano cheese
Oregano and Basil

Brown meat, oinions, & green peppers. Add all sauce ingredients into a big sauce pan, including spices (to taste). Cook sauce about three hours. Add parmesan and Romano (to taste) for the last hour of cooking.

Lasagna:

4 to 5 boxes of Lasagna Noodles
6 large containers of cattage cheese (drained very well)
2 lbs Ricotta cheese
6 packages of Provolone cheese
3 or 4 packages of Mozzerella cheese

Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain. Spray a large baking pan (or a few smaller ones) with Pam cooking spray.
Put a light layer of sauce in bottom of pan. Now do a layer of noodles.

Mix the Ricatta and cottage cheese together.

Now layer in this order.

1. Cottage/ricotta
2. Meat sauce
3. shake some parmesan and romano cheese over.
4. Provolone (cut in half if necessary to fit).
5. Mozzerella

Repeat starting with noodle layer, until pan is full. Last layer should be noodles, then sauce, with parmesan and romano sprinkled over.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. If you have extra sauce, serve with lasgana.

Let lasagna stand 15 to 20 minutes. Use baster to get out extra water.

Enjoy!
