A recipe that we ate a lot grown up was my aunt Constance’s lasagna recipe. Puts all those boxed stouffers lasagna’s to shame.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 6 lasagna noodles
- 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage
- 1 garlic clove
- ½ cup red wine
- 1 Tbsp basil
- 1 tsp salt
- 29 oz can diced tomatoes
- 12 oz can tomato paste
- 1½ cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 2 Tbsp dried parsley
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
How to make it
- Boil lasagna noodles until almost tender.
- Brown ground beef and mix with garlic, basil, salt, tomatoes, tomato paste and red wine.
- Mix ricotta, Parmesan, parsley, eggs, salt, pepper.
- Oil 9 x 13″ pan. Layer noodles, half of the cheese mix, half of the mozzarella, half of the meat mixture. Repeat.
- Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Cook 10 minutes before serving.
Note: You may use dry noodles. For that, soak the noodles in hot tap water until you’re ready to layer them in. Then add 1/2 cup water on top of each noodle layer.
