12
ingredients
- 1 1 lb pasta shells or 1 lb macaroni
- 1 lb ground beef or 1 lb bulk Italian sausage, browned and drained
- 1 lb ricotta cheese
- 1 lb pre-shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 -2 quart spaghetti sauce (I prefer Classico)
- olive oil
directions
- Cook pasta a bit less than fully done.
- Grease a 9x13 pan with olive oil.
- Layer 1/2 the amount each of pasta, ground beef, ricotta, parmesan, spaghetti sauce, and mozzarella in that order.
- Repeat except for the mozzarella.
- Draw a wooden spoon through the layers in an S-shaped pattern to mesh the layers without actually stirring them together.
- Top with the remaining mozzarella.
- Bake at 350F for 30-45 minutes or until the cheese is as brown as you like it and everything is bubbling hot.
- Note -- steamed and drained zucchini or very well-drained, frozen spinach is a good addition.
- Note -- Can substitute ground turkey or chunks of cooked chicken/turkey for the ground beef if desired.

Classico 'Italian Sausage w/Peppers & Onions' sauce was good in this. Added in some sliced zucchinis to the boiling noodles for the last 5 minutes--very nice touch! Not your traditional lasagna in that it does not slice well, but very deelish nonetheless! Thanks for sharing this 'lazy day' meal with us, 3KillerB's!

Thank you for this recipe, it was very good. I used homemade sauce. I didn't use the ricotta cheese simply because I didn't have any and I didn't feel like going to the store on a Sunday night. I used shredded cheddar cheese in its place and it still turned out yummy. I'm sure it would have tasted even better with the ricotta though! :)
