Ingredients:  
1 lb. lean ground beef
2 onions (diced)
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. basil
1 tsp. oregano
2 small cans tomato paste

Directions:
Directions:
Brown meat in a large pot with onions. Then mix in the garlic powder, salt, basil, oregano, tomato paste and tomatoes and simmer for at least an hour to enhance flavors.

While sauce simmers, combine Ricotta and Romano cheeses, eggs, pepper and parsley. Set aside.

Once ready to construct, layer ingredients in a 9" x 13" pan as follows: noodles, meat sauce, cheese mixture, Mozzarella slices. To keep first layer of noodles from sticking to pan, lightly coat bottom of pan with about 3/4 cup of meat sauce. Repeat layers until all ingredients used. (Best to reserve about 2 cups of meat sauce as "gravy" when serving lasagna.)

Cover with foil and bake at 350º F for about 40 to 50 minutes. Remove foil in last ten minutes. Let cool about 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
