Last night for dinner we had lasagna. I have never made lasagna before and it surprised me how easy it is to make. It turned out so well. I was very proud of the finished product. Here is the recipe I used.
1 box lasagna pasta
1 30 oz. container of ricotta cheese
2 c. mozerella cheese separated into two 1 cup portions
1/4 c. parmesan
2 partially beaten eggs
1 tsp. dried basil
1 Tbs. dried parsley
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
pinch of salt
pinch of pepper
1 jar of spaghetti sauce
In a large pot bring to boil about 6-8 cups of water. Add pasta and boil for 8-10 minutes stirring gently every so often so the pasta doesn't stick together or to the pot. While the pasta cooks, mix the ricotta, 1 cup mozerella, parmesan, eggs, basil, parsley, garlic salt, salt, and pepper in a medium mixing bowl. When pasta is done boiling drain in a collander. In a 9x13 casserole dish pour a thin layer of the spaghetti sauce, just enough to cover the bottom. Then cover with a layer of the pasta, then cheese mixture on top of that, then repeat beginning with another layer of sauce, pasta, cheese, sauce, pasta, then sauce again, and sprinkle top with the remaining one cup of mozerella and sprinkle slightly with parmesan cheese. Bake in oven for 60 minutes at 450 degrees F. The whole process only took me about an hour and a half from start to finish. Easy and worth every second. Enjoy and let me know what you think. I'd love some feedback.
