Lasagna

Hey Foodies! It's that time again. It seems like forever since I had some baked pasta. Life is too short not to eat Lasagna.

Pretty basic actually. Start to boil your water and get that skillet hot. In the meantime, prep your materials. Here is what you will need:

1 box of lasagna
2 jars of sauce
16 oz of large curd cottage cheese
1//2 pound of ground beef
3 cloves of garlic
1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
1 medium onion
8 oz pack of fresh mushrooms

Put your Lasagna noodles in the water to boil for about 5 minutes. It does not have to be fully cooked, it will finish in the oven. Cook the ground beef with your mushrooms and onions until it fully reduces. I like to add a little red wine and oregano. Strain and drain.

For your first layer of lasagna, lay the bottom layer covering the pan entirely with noodles. Next, cover bottom layer of lasagna with the cottage cheese. Smooth until layer is even.



With your second layer of lasagna cover the cottage cheese with the 2nd batch of noodles. Now, mix your sauce with the drained meat and vegetables. Stir well and cover second layer with the sauce.

Final batch of noodles goes on the meat sauce and gets covered with cheese. Preheat oven to 350 and cook until cheese starts to brown. For me it was about 40 minutes. Slow and low is the way to go. Food is ready!! Lets eat.

It was very good. But just average.I like it a little spicier with red peppers and Italian sausage. Maybe that will be my next food adventure.

I liked it.  It was basic lasagna with good flavors.  The sauce we used said spicy, but instead it was really sweet.  I think I would've liked it better not quite so sweet.

Until next time my friends. All men must dine. ~ Tony
