Sugar's Lasagna
My Daniel just loves all the beef in it!
Ingrediants:
2lbs of lean beef(4%)
2lbs of mozarela(saving a cup for topping)
1 16oz. Parmesan cheese(kraft in container)
1 1lg container(14 ounce-16 ounce ricotta cheese,(brand precious)
1lg egg
salt and pepper to taste
12 lasagna noodles(boiling 2-3 extras in case one breaks)
1 can black, pitted olives
1sm. green pepper
1sm. red pepper
1sm. red onion
garlic to taste
(Italian sausage(mild)
at times I use "hillshire" smoked Italian sausage)
salt for boiling water
1 med. bottle of "Prego" speghetti sauce
(I like to use the roasted garlic with mushrooms)
Pam( to spray cassarole dish
Instructions:
in a rolling boil of hot water, place noodles up to 12 minutes, or until
noodles are slightly soften
I usually touch with clean hands of course, the texture. not to rubbery, and
a bit soften(remember that when placed in oven, it will finish cooking
through with sauces and cheeses...
while noodles are boiling, heat and brown meat and sausage, and since I use
the 4% lean beef, no need to drain...
adding veggies, all chopped, continue to stir, then pour entire speghetti
sauce in, for a slow simmer(don't forget to season your beef with your
choice of spices)
preheat oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes:
on a piece of foil, lay out noodles to cool, being careful not to burn your
fingers...smile...
now mix your cheeses, placing all cheeses in a bowl, and the egg, as the egg
plays like a glue
remember to save at least 1 cup of mozeralla for topping.
mix all together until a dough like substance, making sure egg has been
broken and spread through out mixture.
Add some pepper to cheese about half a tea spoon, or to taste
Now the fun begins!
1st layer: your meat sauce
2nd: noodles
3: cheese
repeat for 3 layers, being very generous with cheese, as you may have some
left over, if that happens, and you have a few noodles left, take all left
overs and roll up and place in oven for bit size stuffed noodles.
the same foil paper you used to place the noodles on, can be used to cover
lasagna .
bake for 35-45 minutes, or until all melted
remember your meat has already been browned...
last 15 minutes, remove foil and let sit for a few minutes more
removing out of the oven, to cool for about 10 minutes before sliceing.
Enjoy

I have never cooked lasagna before. I would like to know how long you would
need to soak the noodles in the bowl of hot water and then the cold water?
This would be so much better than trying to boil and then break the
noodles.

I have made lasagna with uncooked noodles many times. Using a large
stainless steele bowl and I fill it with hot tap water. I then put the
noodles in it, chris crossing so they aren't in a stack. I just let them
soak for a few minutes. Then add cold water to the bowl, which I have in
the
sink. Then I just take the noodles out one at a time and make my lasagna.
I
left them in the water too long once and they softened too much. It is
really easy to snap them to fit into the pan doing it this way. I have
used
ready to cook noodles, regular noodles and both whole wheat and plain. it
always comes out. Hope this helps.

Hi
They sell no boil lasagna noodles. I make a recipe where I stuff a
filling
into uncooked manicotti, add sauce to the pan, and bake it. Hth Nancy

Hi List,
I wonder if Baked Mac and Cheese or other noodle dishes could be made
without cooking them separately?
Anyone tried it?
I know for myself if any noodles are cooked too long on the stove they
become pasty because of the starch in them.
If I accidentally don't cook them long enough i.e. I'm in a hurry, they
are chewy.
