    List of Ingredients




    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

    Recipe



    in a rolling boil of hot water, place noodles up to 12 minutes,
    or until noodles are slightly soften

    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
    spaghetti 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.
