THREE CHEESE LASAGNA image

Number Of Ingredients 22

SAUCE
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 cup chopped onion
1.5 cup finely chopped peeled carrots
4 tablespoons minced garlic
1 lb sweet italian sausage
1 lb spicy Italian sausages
2 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes with added puree
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon golden brown sugar
2 tablespoon dried oregano
2 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
LASAGNA
15 lasagna noodles (about 12 ounces)
** use non cook for quick lasagna
2 15-ounce containers part-skim ricotta cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 3 ounces)
1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained, squeezed dry
2 large eggs
5 cups grated mozzarella cheese (about 1 1/4 pounds)

Steps:

  • FOR SAUCE: Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, carrots and garlic; sauté until softened, about 12 minutes. Add sausages to pan; sauté until cooked through, breaking up meat with back of spoon, about 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer until flavors blend and sauce measures about 7 cups, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Cool. FOR LASAGNA: Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook noodles in large pot of boiling salted water until almost tender, about 7 minutes. Drain; cover with cold water. Combine ricotta and 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese in medium bowl. Mix in spinach. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix in eggs. Drain pasta and pat dry. Spread 1/2 cup sauce over bottom of 13x9-inch glass baking dish. Place 5 noodles over sauce, overlapping to fit. Spread half of ricotta-spinach mixture evenly over noodles. Sprinkle 2 cups mozzarella cheese evenly over ricotta-spinach mixture. Spoon 1 1/2 cups sauce over cheese, spreading with spatula to cover (sauce will be thick). Repeat layering with 5 noodles, remaining ricotta-spinach mixture, 2 cups mozzarella and 1 1/2 cups sauce. Arrange remaining 5 noodles over sauce. Spread remaining sauce over noodles. Sprinkle remaining 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese evenly over lasagna. (Can be prepared up to 1 day ahead. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate.) Cover baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake lasagna 40 minutes; uncover and bake until hot and bubbly, about 40 minutes. Let lasagna stand 15 minutes before serving.

This lasagna was easy to make and turned out great! I used a no-boil lasagna noodle, which made it even easier. The flavor was perfect and the cheese was gooey and delicious.
