Way-Easy Lasagna - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3 lbs ground beef (a combination of 2 lbs ground beef and 1 lb ground pork is really good!)
1 medium onion, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons italian seasoning
1 teaspoon oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 lb ricotta cheese or 1 lb cottage cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons parsley, minced
3/4 cup freshly-grated parmesan cheese
10 -12 lasagna noodles (I use no-boil)
6 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Preparation

In large skillet, heat olive oil and cook ground beef until well-browned.
Add onion and garlic and cook 5 minutes longer.
Mix in Italian seasoning, sugar, oregano, cinnamon, tomato sauce and tomato paste.
Simmer for 45 minutes, or until sauce has thickened.
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
Mix ricotta cheese, eggs, salt, basil, pepper, parsley and Parmesan cheese together.
Set aside.
In a greased 9x13-inch pan, layer noodles, 1/3 of cheese mixture, 1/3 of meat mixture and 2 cups mozzarella cheese.
Repeat layering 2 more times.
Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove foil and bake 10-15 minutes longer.
Let stand 15 minutes before cutting into pieces.
Enjoy!
