Lasagna

This is quite possibly one of my favorite things to make. I love reheating the left-overs and throwing in some zucchini. It can be made twice and one lasagna can be frozen to save for later which is very helpful when exam time comes around. Enjoy!

What you'll need:
Wooden Spoon
Large Mixing Bowl
8x11 or 9x13 baking dish
Tin foil

Ingredients

1 large container of ricotta cheese
1 bag of shredded mozzarella
2 palm-fulls of Italian seasoning
1 egg
2 jars red pasta sauce
1 box of NO-BOIL lasagna noodles (very important)

How to:

Before starting, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the container of ricotta cheese, half of the shredded mozzarella bag, the Italian seasoning and egg. Mix these together until everything is incorporated well.

2. In your baking dish, pour enough pasta sauce in to cover the bottom--you should not be able to see any of the dish.

3. Layer your noodles on top of the pasta, making sure the noodles are completely covered in sauce. How many noodles you need will depend on your dish size.

4. Next, take a scoop of your cheese mixture you made in step 1 and put that on top of your noodles, making sure that this layer is relatively even.

5. Add another layer of noodles on top of the cheese, followed by another layer of pasta sauce. Repeat this process until you near the top of your dish.

6. After your final layer of cheese, put pasta sauce over this layer of cheese, followed by a layer of noodles and then another layer of pasta sauce. This layer of sauce can be thick so as to make the noodles cook thoroughly.

7. Add the remaining mozzarella cheese on top of the pasta sauce in an even layer.

8. Cover the lasagna dish with the tin foil and put your lasagna in the oven. Let it cook for 45 minutes. Remove the cover and put it back in the oven for 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to become bubbly.

Once you take it out of the oven (after 50 minutes), let it sit for 10-15 minutes before you serve it!

Enjoy!

**If you wanted to add spinach, zucchini or eggplant to this, you would include these slices/leaves of vegetables in your pasta sauce layers. You can also add sausage or meat--if this is the case, brown your meat on the stove and add the meat to the pasta sauce layers of the lasagna.
