4 cloves garlic
4 cups canned tomatoes

Recipe



Start by adding noodles to a large pot of boiling salted water. Let lasagna noodles cook until they are "al dente", drain. Rinse under cold water, drain and set aside.

After sauce has simmered, add ricotta, 1/2 cup parmesan, 2 cups mozzarella cheese, eggs and 1 cup of tomato sauce into a large bowl. Salt and pepper to taste.

Next, oil a 13x9x2 lasagna pan with olive oil. Place a small layer of tomato sauce, to cover the bottom of the pan, so the noodles don't stick.

Place 4 noodles, with a 1 inch overlap, lengthwise in the pan. Spread 1/2 of the ricotta mixture on top. Add second layer of noodles, and spread the remaining ricotta. lay the final layer of noodles, spread the tomato sauce, leaving one cup. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, then parsley.

Cut off edges of pasta hanging out of the pan. Cover with foil.

Bake in oven, preheated to 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove foil and cook 5 additional minutes.

Allow the lasagna to cool before cutting.
