1 lb. ground chuck
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 chopped onion
1/4 tsp. garlic powder OR 1 minced garlic clove
1 - 6oz. can Hunt's tomato paste
1 - 24oz. can chopped tomatoes OR 1 qt. tomato juice
1 tsp. oregano
1/2 lb. lasagna noodles (cooked and drained according to package
directions--make sure you add a little olive oil and a little salt when cooking
them so they don't stick together)
1/2 lb. shredded mozzarella cheese
3/4 lb. ricotta cheese
Parmesan cheese for sprinkling
Cook and drain lasagna noodles--set aside. In a skillet over medium heat
brown the ground chuck with chopped onions, salt, pepper and garlic--cook
and stir until browned and turn heat back to simmer. Add tomato paste,
chopped tomatoes, oregano--stir and cook on simmer about 15 minutes or
until it thickens. In a large lasagna pan make layers: meat sauce, then
Parmesan cheese, then lasagna noodles, then shredded mozzarella cheese,
then ricotta cheese--keep layering until ingredients are used up--try to end
with meat sauce on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until hot
and bubbling.
