Directions: |
Directions:Pre-heat oven to 375°F. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and brown meat until cooked through; season with salt and pepper. If desired, add the wine (optional) and continue cooking until liquid has reduced by half, set aside.
In a bowl, combine ricotta, 2 cups mozzarella, and Parmigiano cheese. Stir well.
Spray a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
LAYER 1: Pour one cup of sauce on the bottom of the dish; spread evenly (*takes more than one cup to cover the bottom of the pan).
LAYER 2: Place 3 sheets of Barilla's no boil lasagna noodles side by side (sheets will expand while baking to the ends of the dish).
LAYER 3: Pour 1 cup of sauce (usually takes more than 1 cup)
LAYER 4: 3/4 cup of cheese mixture (I use more than 3/4 cup)
LAYER 5: Top with ¼ cup mozzarella
LAYER 6: 1/3 cup of the cooked meat (I use more meat than 1/3 cup)
Repeat for 3 more times.
For the final layer, top with 3 lasagne sheets, add remaining sauce and top with cheese mixture and mozzarella.
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake additional 5 minutes to brown the cheese. Let rest 15 minutes before serving. |
