--------  ------------  --------------------------------
500       g            Oven Ready Lasagna Noodles
  4       tb           Butter
  1       sm           Onion -- diced
  3       tb           Flour
  2       c            Milk
    3/4   c            Parmesan cheese
    3/4   ts           Salt
  2                    Egg yolks
  1       lb           Lean ground beef
  6       c            Spagetti sauce
  8       oz           Mozzarella cheese
  8       oz           Ricotta or cottage cheese

 Prepare covering sauce using butter, flour, and milk. Easy
 microwave method is to first melt butter, add diced onion and
 microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir in flour and add milk.
 Microwave at high until mixture starts to boil and thicken. Stir
 occasionally to prevent lumping. Otherwise, use basic white sauce
 technique and saute onions in fry pan, adding later.

 Add parmesan cheese and salt and stir.

 In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks slightly and add a small amount
 of the sauce to the eggs. Stir and then pour into the sauce,
 stirring constantly. Set aside.

 Brown the ground beef until cooked and drain off the fat. Add to
 sauce (any prepared sauce is fine, slightly spiced works best) and
 set aside.

 Note: Any homemade spagetti sauce works here, and if it contains
 ground beef then omit the above addition of meat.

 Slice the mozzarella cheese.

 Grease a 9x13x2" deep pan.

 Add a layer of spagetti sauce on the bottom.

 Add a single layer of noodles.

 Add a layer of mozzarella, and a layer of ricotta (or cottage
 cheese).

 Repeat layers until all ingredients are used up, retaining enough
 noodles to top it off.

 Pour (white/cheese) sauce over the lasagna and spread it evenly.
 Sprinkle some parmesan cheese over the top.

 Bake at 325 F for 25 minutes. Broil to brown the top. Let stand for
 10 minutes before serving.

 Serve with French bread and garlic butter.
