Lasagna A La Angelo, I love to make this stuff do you?

Question

like to do the following recipe:

2 packs of No Boil Pasta.. I like the one that is in large
squares and not the long traditional strips.

1 1/2 lb of lean minced meat
1 onion
1 clove of garlic
2 fresh basil leaves
1/2 stick of butter
2 large cans of Tomato Puree
1/2 glass of Sweet Desert Wine (Moscato is nice)
20 oz Fresh Ricotta cheese
1 large pack or ball of fresh mozzarella
1 cup Freshly Grated Parmegiano Reggiano
2 eggs
1 tbsp Italian herbs seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup 2% Milk

Salt
Pepper

Brown 1/2 of the onion and garlic in the butter as it is melting in
a tall sauce pan.
As the butter melts aways and the onions take on a little color
throw in the Wine, basil leaves and stir. Once the wine is starting
to evaporate add in the 2 cans of tomato puree, let that settle for
a couple of minutes and then add in 1/2 the volume in water.

Stri occasionaly and season with salt and a little touch of pepper,
sauce normally takes about 40 minutes.

For the Meat...

Place the meat in a mixing bowl and add the Bread Crumbs, Finely
chopped 1/2 onion and eggs, mix the meat by hand until it is well
mixed and then roll into little meat balls. I know this is work but
the results are allways the best.

Put the meat balls into a frying pan and brown the meat for
about 12 to 15 minutes, once the meat is well browned take it out
and drain the meat as well as possible.

Now break up the meat balls into a seperate plate and cover with
Saran Wrap and set aside.

The Ricotta, by the time you get to the ricotta its about 20
minutes into your Sauce time. So at this point pre heat the oven to
375 degrees first. Now back to the ricotta

In a large mixing bowl place the ricotta and then add two laddles
of the sauce mix the combo until it is a nic texture, cover and set
aside.


Ok so now

Take your lasagna baking dish and pour in enough sauce to cover
the bottom nicely.

Next place lasagna sheets in such a way as to cover the bottom of
the dish. I don't specify a way to lay them down as you may have the
large squares or the strips its all up to you.

So once the pasta has been arranged, spoon down a layer of Ricotta
mix in rows, spread it a little to cover the corners as well.

Now spread some of the meat over the cheese, next add some
Mozzarela chees and then top with a spoon of Parmegian.

to finish the row cover in generous layer of sauce...

Repeat these steps for each layer until you reach the top.

The Top layer gets a nice coat of sauce, mozzarela and then topped
off with Parmeggiano.

Cover the whole thing and place in oven for 30 minutes, after
thirty minutes uncover and cook for the balance of the 15 minutes.

This recipe should produce amazing lasagna each and every time you
try it.
