Ingredients

  • 1 lb. lasagna pasta
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1-1/2 lbs. ground chuck
  • 2 (1 lb.) jars spaghetti sauce
  • 2 lbs. ricotta or cottage cheese
  • 1 lb. mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Boil 6 quarts of water. Add 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon oil. Cook lasagna pasta at a boil about 15 minutes. Drain and over with cold water to keep from sticking.

Brown onions and chuck until crumbly. Drain excess fat. Stir in spaghetti sauce. Spoon 1/2 cup of the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Drain noodles. Layer noodles, ricotta, mozzarella cheese, meat sauce and Parmesan cheese. End with a layer of noodles and meat sauce. Sprinkle top with Parmesan cheese. Cover with greased foil.

Bake in a 375 degree oven for one hour. Let stand for 15 minutes and then cut into 12 pieces. Remove pieces with a pancake turner.
