1 1lg container(14 ounce-16 ounce ricotta cheese,(brand precious)
1lg egg

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.
