Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 (15-ounce) container ricotta cheese or a combination of ricotta and cottage cheese (see note)
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
9 no-boil lasagna noodles (see note)

Steps:

For the sauce, in a large, 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook the ground meat and onion until the meat is cooked through. Drain any excess grease. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, dried basil, salt and pepper. Simmer the sauce for 20 minutes.
For the filling, in a medium bowl mix the ricotta, egg, basil, parsley, salt, and Parmesan cheese.
To assemble the lasagna, lightly grease a 9X13-inch baking pan. Spread 1/2 cup or so of the sauce over the bottom into a thin layer. Layer as follows: 3 noodles, red sauce, creamy filling, mozzarella, 3 noodles, red sauce, creamy filling, mozzarella, 3 noodles, red sauce, remaining mozzarella. (Basically, all layers - the noodles, red sauce, mozzarella - are split into three layers and the creamy filling is divided among two layers.)
Cover with greased foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover, bake 20-30 minutes more until hot and bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

I'm not sure where this recipe originated, but it's been in my family a long time, and we just love it! It's simple and quite tasty for the amount of effort it requires. We try lots of new recipes, but this one is definitely an old favorite that we keep pulling out.
