Best Ever Lasagna
- Ready In:
- 1hr 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Serves:
-
8-60
ingredients
- 4 lbs mozzarella cheese
- 3 lbs ricotta cheese (for small curd cottage cheese)
- 2 lbs parmesan cheese
- 5 eggs, beaten
- italian seasoning
- khandi spaghetti sauce
- 1 (16 ounce) package lasagna noodles, cooked (1-2 pkg)
directions
- Mix up cheeses reserving about 4 cups to top lasagna.
- Add eggs and Italian seasoning.
- I do this with in two batches.
- Now you are ready to assemble lasagna.
- Pour small amount of sauce in bottom of pan – just enough to cover.
- Layer noodles over sauce.
- Spoon cheese mixture as evenly as you can over noodles and smooth with spoon.
- Layer noodles over cheese – then pour on sauce to cover.
- Repeat with noodles, cheese, noodles, sauce again and then top with cheese.
- Then: I cover loosely with foil to prevent cheese from over browning.
- Bake in 350°F oven until bubbly, removing foil for last 20 minutes or so.
- Or prepare for freezing by cooling, covering with saran wrap then freezer lid.
- Place in freezer.
- Cook the same. Expect the frozen lasagnas to take about 1 1/2 hours to cook if in a small pan.
- ***I always cook my noodles, I prefer the texture of precooked noodles and though it is not necessary I think that uncooked noodles have a slimy texture in the lasagna.

- You can cook less at a time.
- For one 8X13 in lasagna I’d start with about 1 lbs of mozzarella, ½ pound of Parmesan, and one container (1 lb) of ricotta cheese and 1 egg with 1 T of seasoning.
- You’ll probably need about 9 –12 noodles and about 7 – 8 cups of sauce.

This was the best lasagna I have made yet! Although I used my own sauce (which was pretty similar) I loved the technique of layering the noodles then cheese, then noodles then sauce, then noodles and cheese etc. I used to just layer noodles, cheese, sauce then noodles. This way keeps the layers seperate and helps to define the different tastes. I only used 3 eggs however and just more cheese.

I am a teacher that likes to cook - sometimes. Right now I teach 8th grade English. I have three children: Kyndal 17, Spenser 15, and Sophie who will be 4 in October. We live in Waco, TX and like it. It is just the right size for us - not too big, but big enough to have lots of things to do.

<br>I like to cook when I am 'in the mood'and don't have a lot of other things to do. Before Sophie was born I did a lot of cooking ahead. Something that I am way behind on now.
