Beef Lasagne

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef

1 small onion, diced

2 tbsp oregano, dried

1/2 tsp salt or to taste

1/2 tsp pepper or to taste

24 oz marinara sauce (1 jar/680 g)

1 cup water

15 oz ricotta cheese

2 eggs

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

12 lasagne noodles

2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

Method:

Preheat oven to 375°F.

In a saucepan or skillet, cook the ground meat until it is no longer pink. Add chopped onion, 1 tbsp of the oregano, salt, pepper and continue cooking until onion is cooked through and translucent.

Add the marinara sauce to the skillet and the cup of water. Stir and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a small bowl combine the ricotta cheese, 1 tbsp oregano, eggs, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Mix well.

In a baking dish that’s about 9×13 inches, start assembling your lasagne. I usually start with a couple ladles of the sauce at the bottom; this is especially necessary now that the noodles aren’t cooked. Lay 3 lasagne noodles over the meat sauce. Next, layer with ricotta mixture and about 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Add another 3 lasagne noodles, meat mixture, ricotta mixture, mozzarella. Repeat until you have 4 layers of noodles, and end with ricotta cheese and mozzarella cheese.

Bake in the oven for about an hour. It will take the entire hour for the noodles to cook. You may try with a fork to ensure noodles are cooked.
