I love the taste of freshly made lasagna with home made lasagna noodles. It reminds me of Sunday afternoon growing up. Making pasta from scratch..
There are 3 layers of pasta and filled with Italian goodness. 
Each Layer will have:
- Sauce
- Parmesan Cheese
- Mozzarella cheese
- Cooked Ground Beef
- Parsley
- Ricotta Cheese
It is really pretty east to put together if you have a map. I get confused sometimes when I add the layers so that I need to look at the ingredients again and again. I added the map from my cooking notebook so that you can follow along too.
First you need to make some lasagna noodles. (Under another post)
Since this is beef lasagna we need to make up some beef.
Beef: 2 lbs of lean ground beef in a fry pan with:
- large pinch of salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1/8 tsp granulated garlic
- 1 tsp parsley
- 1/4 tsp anise seed
- 1/2 tsp oregano
Fry up the meat and spices until well browned.
Other Ingredients that you will need:
- 2 lbs of Mozzarella Cheese cubed
- 32 to 48 oz of your favorite sauce
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 6 large home made pasta sheets
Prepare pan by rubbing butter on the bottom
Put some sauce bottom of pan (a few ounces to cover the bottom)
Add 2 sheets of noodles
Add a layer of sauce
Sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese
Spread Mozzarella Cheese chunks
Sprinkle with fried meat
Sprinkle with Parsley
Add dabs of ricotta cheese (spoonfuls)
Add second layer with the same ingredients
Then add third layer of pasta
finish with sauce, Parmesan cheese and mozzarella
Cook for 45 minutes uncovered at 350 degrees
Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
Noodles
First Layer if ingredients
Cover with noodles
Top Layer (add a little more sauce just before you cook it)
Cooked version (Mmmmmmm)
