This is an adaptation of my mom’s lasagna, my favorite thing to eat as a kid. I could not stop eating this then, and I cannot stop eating it now.

Is it authentic? Nah. Is it stick-to-your-ribs good? Oh yeah. It also freezes great, which is good because this makes a big ole batch.

Too Good To Rest

I have only complaint about this lasagna. In all my years I have NEVER been able to let it rest long enough to firm up. I have never been able to get a pretty picture of it. Believe me, I have tried and tried. I just end up cutting off a big ole piece before it gets set up. So, that’s why it sags in the picture. It’s a good sag, though.

Ingredients

Instructions

Note: Total cook time does not include the time to make the meat sauce

  • Preheat oven to 325 F.
  • Spray a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with non-stick spray.
  • Cook noodles per package instructions. Drain well.
  • First, spread a little sauce out on the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Then, layer the ingredients in the following order.
  • Try to divide the ingredients evenly between each layer, but you don't have to be picky about it. They'll all get gooey melty lovely in the oven.
  • Noodles
  • Sauce
  • Ricotta
  • Mozzarella
  • Parmesan
  • Repeat for 3 total layers.
  • Bake for 45 minutes or until bubbly hot. Let rest (yeah, right) 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

This lasagna freezes very well for later.
