SUPREME LASAGNA
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare lasagna noodles as directed on package (the number of noodles you use shall determine the size of the baking dish needed). Drain and rinse in cold water. Set aside.
- Meat sauce: Finely chop onion, celery, garlic, bell peppers. Dice tomatoes. Slice mushrooms, if necessary. Brown meat, adding all vegetables and seasonings during browning. Drain fat and return to heat. Add tomato sauce and paste (water can be added to thin sauce). Add sugar, salt and pepper and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
- In a 9 to 12-inch rectangular baking dish, coat bottom of dish with meat sauce.
- The lasagna has 3 layers:
- Layer 1: Lay 5 or 6 noodles (depending on the size of your dish) on top of meat sauce. Spread meat sauce over noodles. Spread cottage cheese and sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
- Layer 2: Lay 5 or 6 noodles (depending on the size of your dish) over cheeses. Spread meat sauce over noodles. Sprinkle 2 cups mozzarella and 2 cups Italian cheese over meat sauce.
- Layer 3: Lay 5 or 6 noodles (depending on size of dish) over mozzarella/Italian cheeses. Spread meat sauce over noodles. Pattern 12-16 slices American cheese evenly across sauce. Cover with parmesan/Romano cheese.
- At this point, you can cover with foil, but I prefer to leave uncovered in order to dry and meld lasagna. Place in oven and bake 30 minutes or until all cheeses are melted. Stand for 5 minutes prior to serving.
