Ingredients

  • 1 pound pasta dough or use box pasta sheets
  • 1 quart tomato /marinara sauce or jarred sauce
  • 1-2 32 oz containers of Ricotta cheese (use 2 for thicker cheese layers)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp grated fresh nutmeg
  • 2 tsp Italian herb mix
  • 2 lbs hamburger or a mix of hamburger and sausage
  • 1 tsp each salt and pepper
  • 3 cups grated mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.

  2. Brown meat over medium heat, adding salt pepper and Italian mix. Drain on paper toweling on a plate or dish.

  3. Make the cheese mix - stir together the cheese, eggs, nutmeg, Italian herb mix, salt and pepper until well incorporated.

  4. Spread a layer of sauce in the bottom of the pan.

  5. Make a layer of pasta noodles.

  6. Spread 1/2 to 1/3 of the cheese mix (depending on how many layers you want), followed by a layer of meat , and sprinkled mozzarella cheese.

  7. Continue another 2-3 layers.

  8. Place a final layer of pasta on top, and cover with sauce. As the lasagna bakes, sauce will seep down to permeate layers and sides.

  9. Cover with 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella. Cover with foil.

  10. Bake 1- 1 1/2 hours until bubbly. Remove foil for the last 20 minutes so cheese melts and browns slightly.

  11. Let stand 10 minutes (if you can!) before serving.
