Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
10 ounces Lasagna noodles (use enough noodles to cover your baking dish 6 layers deep)
1 teaspoon Salt for each quart of boiling water
1 pounds Mozzarella cheese, grated
1 pounds Hamburger, lean
1 medium Onion, minced
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1 pounds Tomatoes, stewed
1 pounds Tomato sauce
6 ounces Tomato paste
¼ teaspoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Basil
1 teaspoon Parsley

Directions

SAUCE

CHEESE MIX

Brown meat and drain off fat. Heat, but don't brown, onions; stir in remaining sauce ingredients. Simmer for about 30 minutes.

Fill a very large pot with water. Add about 1 t of salt for each quart of water in the pot. Add the lasagna noodles. Make sure that you cook enough noodles to cover a 13x9 baking pan 6 layers deep.

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the inside of the baking pan with a light vegetable oil. Now make three filling layers. For each, put down ⅓ of the noodles, in two layers. Then spread ⅓ of the ricotta mixture on the noodles.

Then sprinkle with ⅓ of the mozzarella cheese. Finally, top with ⅓ of the sauce. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes or until bubbly hot. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.
