Lasagna


I love making homemade lasagna.  The recipe is so easy and so good.  First I start out by sauteing an onion, then brown a pound of meat (sometimes I use beef and sometimes I use turkey), then I add tomato paste and tomato sauce, and then add spices (oregano and basil) and let simmer for about 30 minutes.  In a lasagna pan, I layer dry lasagna noodles, the finished sauce, ricotta cheese (I used to use cottage cheese, but have switched to ricotta for the better taste), and shredded mozzarella cheese and repeat.  On the third layer, I put parmesan cheese on the top.  Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for 2 hours, uncover for the last 15 min to get the top brown and bubbly.
