CINDY'S LASAGNA

This is a recipe I created through experimentation. I knew a woman who always asked me to cook it for her, she said she had tried lasagna from here to Italy and it was the best she had ever tasted. This is a recipe that makes enough for a large family gathering!

1 (16 oz.) pkg. lasagna noodles
1 to 1 1/2 jars thick spaghetti sauce
1/2 chopped green pepper
1 large chopped onion
1 large container Ricotta or small curd cottage cheese
2 cups Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/2 tsp. cracked black pepper
2 eggs
1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley
1 large pkg. fancy shredded cheese (about 3 cups)
2 cups mozzarella cheese
1 lb. Italian sausage cooked and chopped
1 lb. ground beef cooked and chopped, then mix meats together
2 cans of mushrooms slices

Sauté onions and peppers in butter or olive oil.

Combine Ricotta or cottage cheese with eggs, Parmesan cheese, cracked black pepper and parsley.

Cook noodles rinse in cold water, drain and separate, set aside, preheat oven to 375°F.

In a large deep non-stick baking pan, layer bottom with spaghetti sauce, about two cups. Next, place a layer of noodles, then sauce until lightly covered, then a thin layer of Ricotta or cottage cheese mixture, meats, onions and peppers, and mushrooms, sprinkle remaining cheeses in layers, one on top another.

When you lay your last layer of noodles, place a thin layer of sauce and (make sure you have saved enough cheeses for the top) over the layer of sauce layer cheeses with the mozzarella on top, bake at 375°F uncovered until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Cindy, I used this recipe of yours a few years ago and it was fantastic!
My husband wanted me to make this again and well your recipe is the winner and know he will love it. The Italian Sausage is the trick we used pork/hamburger the last time and this will really spice it up!
He has lost his taste buds but well hopefully he will get some flavor out of this.
Thanks also for telling me how to layer the layers
I am going to add some beef broth also to this and see how that goes for flavor.

Best lasagna. Made so easy. Making 2 half orders tonight for family coming over. One with ground turkey, turkey sausage,, sauce, mozzarella slices, ricotta and parmesan cheese. NO mushrooms,, onions or green pepper. Made other one with ground chuck, regular sausage, as written for my daughter who won't eat ground turkey. Both ways are excellent. Thank you for the recipe.

Chef Tazya (North Carolina) says:

Great recipe! Try covering with foil and bake for 25 mins and then uncovered for 10 it will reduce some of the moisture for a thicker pasta

I'm sorry for your lasagna. As much as I have been to Italy, I can tell you that is where I had the best. It was simple. Fresh pasta, layered with cheese, and a little sauce, a little Bechamel sauce. The recipe mentioned is heavy. I think it should be toned down.

Cathy Benedict (Pennsylvania) says:

Awesome recipe. I used 2lbs of venison instead of beef, cottage cheese (low fat),4 cups fresh mushrooms, Ragu Chunky sauce (did not use fancy cheese) and 2 boxes of lasagna noodles and this made 2 lasagnas. Thank you for the basic recipe.

Best lasagna recipe I've ever found. Tastes like an expensive, authentic Italian restaurant and what you'd imagine great lasagna to taste like.
