Ellie's Extra Cheesy Lasagna


I found this awesome recipe from a website called vintage victuals. I modified it slightly to my tastes. It is absolutely delicious, found myself waking up for a midnight snack of the leftovers. I usually serve it with homemade garlic bread. You can make this recipe with either ground beef or turkey, i like to use the ground turkey because it is a bit healthier than the beef. I always make this with the ground turkey and no one ever knows the difference.

Steps


Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a large glass baking dish.
In a large skillet heat oil on medium and add the ground turkey and sausage.
Brown meat until thoroughly cooked and then push all the meat to one side of the pan.
On the empty side of the pan add the minced garlic cooking until fragrant , then mix in with the ground meat.
In a very large pot add the water and pasta sauce , heat on medium for a couple minutes then add the meat.
Simmer for 20-30 minutes , stirring consistently.
While the sauce is simmering , in a large microwaveable bowl soften the cream cheese in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds.
Stir in ricotta cheese until blended.
Add the eggs , seasoning , parsley and 1 cup of the mozzarella and stir until well blended.
Now to assemble the lasagna , pour a thin layer of the sauce mixture on the bottom of the dish , then layer the noodles over the sauce.
Spread the cheese mixture over the noodles , a thick enough of a layer to just cover the noodles.
