Lasagne

Call me crazy, but I hate the no boil noodles they have for lasagne.  I just don't think they have enough gusto! So, I do it the old school way.  I boil those bad boys! Naughty noodles! Getting sidetracked....

Let's make lasagne!


1 box of lasagne noodles....I guess if you really wanted to I'll allow no boils
I used some pureed spaghetti sauce I had canned from the summer, but they do sell crushed tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano that works wonderfully here too!
1/2 pound of ground italian sausage
1/2 pound of ground beef
1 container of ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese has worked well too!)
1lb of shredded mozzerella cheese (or if you can find the combo cheese packs-mozz,provalone, romano and parmesean those are handy!)

Boil up those noodles up.  Brown the sausage and ground beef.  Set aside.  Strain the noodles.  In a 13x9 pan, layer the noodles first, ricotta, meat, sauce then cheese.  I like to use a layer of two noodles, but you can do whatever.  When you have it assembled.  Cover with some foil.  Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes.  Remove foil, check progress.  Yours might be done a littler earlier! If not, let it go for another 15.  Always keep an eye on it, as our ovens most likely run at different temps!
