DIRECTIONS
MEAT SAUCE
*Cook Sausage, Lean Ground Beef, (chop both meats up very fine in pan. Also note that this meat mixture shouldn't be a thick layer. use just enough to cover pan and noodle layers) Onion & Garlic over medium heat until well browned. Drain excess oil if any.
*Stir in Crushed Tomatoes, Tomato Paste, Tomato Sauce, & 1 cup Red Wine OR 1 cup Water (Or half and half. Don't use a cup of each) Season with Sugar, Basil, Fennel Seeds, Bay Leaves, Italian Seasoning, 2 tbs Salt, Ground Pepper and 8 tbs Parsley.
*Simmer covered for about 2 hours. Stir responsibly.
NOODLES
*Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Or you can simply soak uncooked Lasagne Noodles in a pan of hot water for 20-30 mins, then pull out and set to the side cover - 4
Here's an easier tip for Lasagna assembly: If you know how many layers of Lasagna you're going to make (3 or 4 depending upon your pan size) divide every ASSEMBLY INGREDIENT in half or quarters as the recipe calls for. (meat sauce, fresh tomatoes, ricotta mixture, basil, parsley, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses) This way you're not overloading one Lasagna and subtracting from the other.

*Please, please, please trust me when I say that this dish is exponentially better if made today and allowed to chill covered for 24 hours prior to baking! This recipe also freezes great either cooked or uncooked. Personally, I always make two pans, freeze one immediately and allow the other sit for 24 hours then bake it. However, due to time restraints and unexpected guests arriving, I have been forced to bake both immediately after constructing and it STILL received rave reviews!

Easy Lasagna Easy Lasagna
On the back of a box of Mullers Pasta, there is a recipe for an "easy lasagna bake." I've tweaked their recipe over the years. I like hot Italian sausage in mine but it's also good with sweet sausage, ground beef, or even ground turkey. This is very filling and affordable. It costs under $15.00 to make. It's about the size of a family-sized lasagna dinner you find in the frozen section at the supermarket but tastier. #Fakeaway frozen lasagna. Raven -

This is my favorite lasagna recipe.Because of the long list of ingredients and steps, it might look difficult. But once you start cooking, it's actually easier than you think.Make sure to slowly prepare the white sauce over low heat.This recipe will yield quite a lot for lasagna, so use any leftovers on pasta the next day. For 3-4 servings. Recipe by Eiyoushino recipe cookpad.japan -
