Fantastic Meat Lasagna


This is my own recipe that i've played with over the years. It used to use a lot more cheese, but i've simplified it and enjoy it much more this way. I don't like a lot of noodles in my lasagna, but you can always use more if you prefer.

Steps


Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
In a non-stick skillet brown meat with salt and pepper.
When browned stir in basil , tomato paste , crushed tomatoes , pasta sauce , ricotta and parmesan , and simmer for a couple of minutes.
Place 3 lasagna noodles on the bottom of bake dish and top with half the sauce.
Add another layer of noodles and then the remaining sauce.
Top with mozzarella cheese and cover dish with foil.
Bake for 45 minutes , remove from oven and let sit for 15 minutes before serving.

Ingredients
