Recipe Introduction
This is our family favorite recipe for Lasagna. Dave and Diane were some of our first friends at the Manhattan Nazarene Church. They always had an open home and were generous with everyone they came into contact with!
List of Ingredients
1 lb. hamburger
1 lb. sausage
1 onion, chopped
1/4 t. garlic, chopped finely
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 c. parsley
1 t. oregano
1 t. basil
16 oz. tomato sauce
1 t. paprika
6 oz tomato paste
1 lb. lasagna noodles
1 1/2 lb. ricotta or cottage cheese (or a combination)
1 1/4 lb. mozzarella cheese
1/2 lb. Parmesan cheese
4 oz. can mushrooms
1 t. Italian seasoningRecipe
Fry hamburger and sausage; add onion, green pepper, garlic, celery, parsley, oregano, basil, Italian seasoning and fry 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in tomato sauce, paprika, and tomato paste. Salt and pepper to taste. Cover tightly and simmer 1 1/2 hours. While sauce is simmering, boil lasagna noodles in 4-6 quart pan of salted, oiled water. Drain and rinse with cold water. Grease pans. Cover each bottom of pan with 1/4 noodles and 1/4 meat mixture. Arrange layers of mozzarella and ricotta and sprinkle with Parmesan. Repeat layers once more. Bake at 300 degrees for 50 minutes. Can be made ahead or frozen; add more baking time when cold.
* I use 1 pound ricotta cheese and 1/2 pound cottage cheese.
