Buddy Valastro's Grandma Maddalena's Sausage Lasagna

I found this while christmas shopping, and really wanted to try it. I love buddy valastro's show and trust his true italian heritage to whip up an amazing lasagna. i'll be trying this recipe soon!!

Steps

Sauce:.

In a large heavy bottomed pot , heat the olive oil , add the beef , pork , veal and sausage and cook until browned.

Add garlic and oregano and cook until fragrant.

Stir in the tomato paste and cook until the meat is coated.

Add tomatoes with their juices and the tomato puree , season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil.

Simmer over moderate heat , stirring occasionally , until thickened about 1 1 / 2 hours.

Ricotta:.

In large bowl , combine the ricotta with the parsley , basil , 1 cup of the parmesan , 1 pound of the shredded mozzarella and beaten eggs.

Season with salt and pepper.

Noodles:.

The instructions suggested cooking the dry , curly-ridged lasagna noodles 3 minutes in abundant salted water , drained , rinsed -- i say use fresh , no-cook or even the curly edged pasta , and forget about the pre-cooking.

I guarantee the sauce will cook the noodles after 45 minutes of cooking time.

This also makes life much easier.

Lasagna time:.

Preheat the oven to 37.
