Add meat back in.
Add cans of sauce and paste.
Fill the small paste can with water and add.
Add herbs and salt and pepper
Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding small water if needed.
Your sauce should thicken.
When noodles have cooked, drain.
Spray large casserole dish with cooking spray
Thin the Ricotta cheese with a little milk, so that it spreads easily.
Then you will assemble the lasagna as such:
Put layer of 4 noodles down first, then 1/2 the sauce, then 1/2 of the Ricotta cheese, then enough mozzarella to cover Ricotta (1 1/2 to 2 cups). Repeat. Top last layer of mozzarella with the parmesan.
Bake 30- 40 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Let sit 15 minutes before serving. |
