Place 4 uncooked lasagna noodles on the pan. Do not boil ahead of time. In this meal 8 noodles are used with all the filling in the middle to make it easier so you don't have to divide off the filling or sauce. It works just as well as the other way of using 9 noodles in 3 layers. Remove the raw sausage meat from the casing by slitting the casing with your finger and sliding out the meat. Combine the sausage and hamburger meat. Sprinkle meat with a little garlic powder if you do not have fresh minced garlic and brown in a large skillet or Dutch oven. Drain the meat in a collander and wipe out the pan with a paper towel to remove most of the drippings. Brown 2 cloves minced garlic in a little butter or olive oil in the same pan if you are using fresh garlic. Return meat to the pan and add the jar of spaghetti sauce. Ccover and cook over medium heat for about a half hour while you prepare the cheese filling. In a small bowl put the ricotta cheese. Add half of the shredded Mozzarella or tear up the Mozzarella slices into small pieces. Add Parmesan cheese and stir to combine. Pour cheese filling over the lasagna noodles in the pan and spread evenly. add a little salt and pepper to taste. Pour or spoon spaghetti sauce with meat over the cheese filling. Cover with lasagna noodles. Push down. Pour the reserved Mozzarella cheese over the noodles. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and add a little water if you do not think it is covered enough. Slide the pan carefully into a plastic bag or use a pan cover if you have one. Chill several hours or overnight. Make sure the pan is level. Take out the pan, remove cover, and check to see that it isn't too dry on top. Sprinkle with a little water if needed and make sure the liquid is level. , Ifyou are using a glass pan put it into the cold oven. Do not go from a chilled pan into a preheated oven with glass. Preheat oven to 350 degrees with a metal pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour. Let stand at least a half hour or more before cutting it if you can bear to wait with the wonderful smell in the kitchen. You may substitute cream of mushroom soup with an equal amount of water for the spaghetti sauce and cottage cheese for the ricotta. _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
