lasagna noodles
   • Should you always boil Lasagna Noodle...  


LASAGNA RECIPE

• 12oz "Oven Ready" Lasagna Noodles (NO BOIL lasagna noodles)
• 24 oz Mozzarella Cheese (use more or less as desired)

MEAT SAUCE
• 2.5 lbs ground beef
• 48 oz marinara sauce PLUS 1 cup of water (use a high quality sauce)
• 1/2 diced white onion
• 5 minced garlic cloves
• 1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
• 1/2 Tbsp Beef Bouillon Powder
• 1 Tsp dried Basil
• 3/4 Tsp Cayenne Red Pepper
• 1/4 Tsp ground black pepper
• Salt (to taste)
• Fresh Parsley
• Sugar (This is not a rule! Please taste your sauce and use your best judgement if your sauce is very acidic then add sugar as needed)

CHEESE SAUCE (make to your taste)
• 15 oz whole milk Ricotta Cheese
• Grated Parmesan cheese
• Garlic powder
• Cajun seasoning (optional)
• Salt
• Fresh Parsley
• 1 egg (add last)

NOTE: I used a 13 x 9 1/2 inch casserole dish and baked for 1 hour, broiled for 3 minutes.

When making the meat sauce please taste as you go! If you prefer NOT to use Marinara Sauce then you may use any pasta sauce (e.g. garlic and herb, tomato and basil, tomato basil garlic ) and taste as you go..... meaning gradually add seasonings to your sauce and make any adjustments as desired.

If you prefer you may brown your meat and onions, add pasta sauce, THEN gradually add seasonings! The outcome of your lasagna is based on how well your meat sauce tastes. It's important that you use a high quality sauce and season to YOUR taste for BEST results! Enjoy
