"Simple lasagna, great to make ahead and freeze for up to 2 months."

 

• Ready In: 2hrs
• Ingredients: 13
• Serves: 9

ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 9 lasagna noodles
• 16 ounces ricotta cheese
• 16 ounces whole tomatoes
• 16 ounces spaghetti sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• basil
• oregano
• parsley
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 small onion
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1⁄4 cup parmesan cheese

directions

1. Brown beef with garlic and onion in a 10" pan.
2. Add tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, spices, and sugar.
3. Simmer uncovered for 45 minutes.
4. Boil and drain lasagna noodles.
5. Mix ricotta cheese and parmesan cheese and some parsley.
6. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
7. Construct the lasagna with layers of noodles, meat sauce, ricotta cheese, and shredded cheese.
8. I use two pans: an 8x8 and a 9x4 loaf pan, bake one and freeze the other.
9. If you use a 13x9 you will probably need more lasagna noodles.
10. Bake with foil covering for 30 minutes.
11. Remove foil and bake uncovered another 15 minutes.

Indeed a very simple, but good recipe. Used 3 cups of mozzarella instead of 2. The second pan will make for a nice quick meal through the week. NOTE TO NEWBIES: make the last layers on the pan a sauce, then cheese layer; dont end with noodles then cheese.
