Ingredients

  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 24 oz tomato paste
  • 16 oz whole peeled tomatoes
  • 3 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 box lasagna noodles
  • 16 oz ricotta cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 16 oz mozzerella cheese
  • 1/2 c parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Brown ground beef, onion and garlic.  
  • Add tomato paste, whole tomatoes, salt, pepper, oregano, bay leaf and Italian seasoning.  Cover and simmer at least 20 minutes.
  • If using regular lasagna noodles, bring a large pot of water to a boil and boil noodles until al dente and drain. If using no-boil noodles, skip this step.
  • In a separate bowl, mix ricotta cheese and eggs.
  • Spray a deep 9x13 baking dish.
  • Remove bay leaf from meat sauce.  Cover the bottom of the baking dish with a thin layer of sauce.  Next, layer noodles, ricotta mixture, mozzarella and then sauce.  Repeat layers, ending with a nice thick layer of meat sauce.  Sprinkle Parmesan over the meat sauce and bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes until bubbly.
