Lasagna

Ingredients

1 lb of lasagna noodles
3 tbs. olive oil
Mozzarella cheese ( I use the shredded, it’s easier probably need two packages)
Ricotta cheese (I buy the medium size, I think it’s 3 lbs.)
Parmesan cheese
————————————————————

Put water in pot & boil.
When water comes to a boil, put the noodles in. You can put oil in the water, it keeps the noodles from sticking together.
Cook about 15 minutes.
When noodles are done, drain & rinse. Lay them flat on paper towels. I pat dry the tops too, so it doesn’t get too watery.
Spread ricotta cheese over the noodles.
Cut noodles to size of pyrex or pan you are using.
Start assembling with a little sauce covering the bottom of the pan.
Lay in the lasagna noodles and sprinkle a mozzarella cheese over
Put a little sauce over.
Sprinkle a little parmesan cheese.
Then repeat lasagna noodles, mozzarella cheese, sauce & sprinkle parmesan cheese.
ALTERNATE DIRECTIONS OF LAYING THE LASNAGNA NOODLES IN THE PAN. FIRST EAST/WEST AND THEN NORTH/SOUTH SO THEY CRISSCROSS
Make as many layers as will fit in your pan. (probably 3-5)
Bake covered 45-50 minutes at 350 degrees.
Noodles are already cooked so it’s really just to melt the cheese and heat everything up.
The sauce will probably be bubbling a little.
I don’t use too much sauce in between each layer because then it gets really saucy. Unless you like it like that. However, you can always add a little sauce to each serving as you eat it if you want it more saucy.
Enjoy!
