Answer 1

let me know when you figure it out, I will be over with plate in hand ;)
actually, I usually go to www.allrecipes.com to find recipes, maybe you will find something there

Answer 2

Traditional Meat Sauce Lasagna uses only red sauce. The white part of traditional lasagna is actually ricotta cheese. The best recipes I've used are below on the links. I didn't want to take up too much room in this answer. I hope you enjoy them.

I think you'll find that most homemade sauce ends up tasting a lot like the sauce you can buy in the store. I used to use Five Brothers sauce, but they sold out to another company (Classico) and they didn't carry my favorite sauce that had grilled summer veggies in it. Now I use Hunt's Roasted Garlic and Onion in a can, when I can find it, or Hunt's Traditional Saucein a can found in the section with the jar spaghetti sauces.

theres a really good alternative for hamburger. use kiabasi(how ever its spelled). it takes less time and it tastes a lot better. theres not so much layering. cook the noodles, while theyre cooking cut the kiabasi in 2in pieces. make a slit in the kiabasi(long ways), and put a piece of mozzerella cheese in the slit. when the noodles are done cooking, wrap the noodle around the kiabasi and cheese. place up right in a baking dish. pour sause over noodles and add left over cheese. bake at 350 for about 20-30 mins. until cheese is melted and everythings hot. try it out and let me know what you think.

It will take a while if you use fresh tomatoes, because it will need to simmer several hours for the spices and tomatoes to "cook in" and you will need to season to taste:

Blend fresh tomatoes in a blender or food processor ( how many depends on how many people you will be feeding-usually figure two large tomatoes per person). Pour in large pot on the stove-on medium to low. Add diced onion, basil leaves, oregano, garlic (fresh is better), and olive oil. The amounts depend on your taste and how much you make. But a good start is to add one clove of garlic initially, and 2 tablespoons of basil and oregano. You can always add more as needed. Cook until slow boil and then simmer several hours.
For fresh white sauce...I cheat, the bottles of white sauce I buy are great- just look for a "major brand"!!!

Then you cook your wide noodles, drain and layer noodles, cheese (mozzarella & ricotta) and sauce. Several times-top with cheese. For meat, just cook and add to sauce.

Answer 5

I brown the meat, usually a mix of bob evans italian sausage and ground beef, up and then add the sauce to it. I just keep it simple and use ragu sauce. Ragu works great for this.

I then put a scoop of the sauce on the bottom of the pan, and then a layer of uncooked lasagna noodles. Then I put some more meat sauce over the noodles, then mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, spinach and mushrooms, I continue for a couple more layers of that. Then I top it off with provolone cheese and some parmesan regiano.

Oh I love that stuff ....

Answer 6

If you don't want to cook, Stauffers frozen Lasagna is good too. I make mine really simple.

1 lbs browned ground chuck
1 box lasagna noodles
1 large can of prego (any flavor) spaghetti sauce
2 large bags of mozerella cheese
1 large container small curd cottage cheese
parmashan cheese

Brown ground chuck-drain and add to prego. At the same time, boil the lasagna noodles-drain. The no-boil noodles work good to. On bottom of casarole dish add a small layer of the meat/prego sauce, layer of noodles, another layer of sauce, light layer of cottage cheese, layer of mozarella cheese, lightly sprinkle with parmashan cheese. Continue with layer of noodles, sauce, cheeses and so on until ingredients are gone.

Bake in 350 degree oven for 1/2 hour or until top layer of cheese is melted. If you use the no-boil noodles, then follow the directions on the back of the box for how long those/lasagna need to bake.

Answer 7

I use a jar sauce and add more spices, and I fry up ground meat, with fresh onions and garlic add a few jars of prego or any sauce. I always add red wine and a few tbls of pesto. it gives the sauce a wonderful flavor. I let that simmer for a few hours. cook the lasagna noodles. I don't cook them for the suggested time, they tend to fall apart. put a little sauce in the bottom of your pan add noodles, ricota( you can buy this at any grocery store) and I use hivarti cheese, its not stringy and adds a great flavor, so you put the noodles in the pan add the ricotta and slices of cheese, cover it with sauce and repeat until the pan is full, and left over sauce pour on top, happy cooking, I'm known where I live for my lasagna, have been for years,

DIRECTIONS

1. In a Dutch oven, cook sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until well browned. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Season with sugar, basil, fennel seeds, Italian seasoning, 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons parsley. Simmer, covered, for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain noodles, and rinse with cold water. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg, remaining parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4. To assemble, spread 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange 6 noodles lengthwise over meat sauce. Spread with one half of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with a third of mozzarella cheese slices. Spoon 1 1/2 cups meat sauce over mozzarella, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers, and top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil: to prevent sticking, either spray foil with cooking spray, or make sure the foil does not touch the cheese.
5. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Wine Tip

Try with an Italian red like Barbera or Chianti Classico.
