I have grown up eating Italian food as my grandmother is full Italian and my mom is half. It creates for some amazing cooks and some wonderful Italian food. Whenever someone in the neighborhood was sick or needed food Mom was the first one who offered to bring dinner and 9 times out of 10 she made lasagna for the neighbors. I have started making the same lasagna when I am making meals for people. It is a perfect meal to make for families because I can cook it and freeze it and then bring it to them. They can keep it frozen if they want and heat up piece by piece or cook the entire lasagna at one time. You can also half the recipe for smaller lasagna as this makes a large amount.
- 1 lb. lasagna noodles (the kind you boil)
- 2 lbs ricotta cheese
- 2 eggs
- 16 oz mozzarella cheese
- parmesan cheese (to sprinkle on top)
- 64 oz jar favorite pasta sauce
*Most of the time when I make this I 1/2 it. This recipe makes A LOT.
Directions
*Preheat over to 350 degrees
- Boil noodles in salted water until just above soft and then Drain.
- While noodles are boiling, mix the ricotta cheese and eggs until they are smooth.
- Add most of the mozzarella cheese and mix that up.
- Take your pan and put sauce in the bottom.
- Place three noodles across the bottom of pan.
- Spread some of the ricotta mixture along top of the noodles.
- Add some sauce and spread that over the ricotta.
- Then layer with three more noodles.
- Then add more ricotta over next noodles.
- Then add more sauce.
- Repeat till you end with three noodles.
- Top that with more sauce and sprinkle with remaining parmesan and mozzarella.
- Bake at 350 covered with foil for about an hour.
- Take off foil and bake for 15 more minutes.
- Let sit for about 10 minutes before serving.
