Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Sauces, Cheese. pas
Yield: 8 servings
DIRECTIONS CONTINUE
By now the water you started heating in step one should be boiling.
Add the dry lasagna noodles and cook them to al dente, per package
directions. Note: Noodles may be cooked in advance.
Stir often to prevent from sticking. Make sure that the water stays
at a full boil during the entire cooking to prevent the noodles
from sticking.
When ready, drain in a colander and rinse with cool water, gently
separating any noodles that may be sticking together. Spread a
little olive oil on a large rimmed baking sheet, and lay out the
cooked noodles on this sheet, turning them over so that they get
coated with a little of the olive oil. This will prevent them from
sticking together.
Set the oven @ 375 F/190 C.
In a 9x13" casserole or lasagna dish, ladle a cup of sauce and
spread it over the bottom of the dish. Arrange one layer of lasagna
noodles lengthwise (about 3 long noodles, the edges may overlap,
depending on your pan) over the sauce. Ladle a third of the
remaining sauce over the noodles.
Sprinkle a layer of 1/3rd of the grated mozzarella on top of the
lasagna sauce. Add half of the ricotta cheese, by placing cheese
dollops every couple of inches. Sprinkle half the grated parmesan
cheese evenly over the top of the ricotta cheese.
Apply the second layer of noodles and top it with half of the
remaining sauce. Add half of the remaining mozzarella, the
remaining ricotta cheese, and another the remaining Parmesan.
Finish with another layer of noodles. Spread the remaining sauce
over the top layer of noodles and sprinkle with the remaining
mozzarella cheese.
Cover the lasagna pan with aluminum foil, tented slightly so it
doesn't touch the noodles or sauce). Bake for 45 minutes. Uncover
in the last 10 minutes if you'd like more of a crusty top or edges.
Allow the lasagna to cool for at least 15 before serving. Leftovers
will keep for about 5 days. You can reheat it in a conventional
oven or microwave. Leave the aluminum tent on for storage. (Try to
keep the aluminum foil from touching the sauce.)
