Classic Three Cheese Lasagna

1 Box Lasagna Noodles
Parmesan Cheese, as desired amount
Mozzarella, shredded, as desired amount

Ricotta Filling
15 oz Ricotta, I prefer whole milk
¼ Parmesan Cheese, grated
2 eggs
2 Tablespoons Parsley, finely chopped

Tomato Sauce
28 oz can whole peeled tomatoes plus ¼ cup water to rinse out can/jar
2 Garlic cloves
1 Teaspoon each of Onion Powder, Oregano and Salt
½ Teaspoon Pepper

Preheat oven 400 degrees

1. Prepare lasagna noodles. They can either be cooked traditionally in a pot of hot water or you can use my quick tip. Quick Tip: In a shallow baking dish, place Lasagna noodles and pour over boiling hot water, enough to cover the noodles and let sit for 30 minutes to soften. Note: These noodles are not the parboiled type noodles.
2. In a large bowl, add all the components of the Ricotta filling and blend well until incorporated.
3. In a blender, add all the components of the Tomato Sauce and blend well pureed.

Assemble (The number of noodles and filling will vary depending on the size and depth of the baking dish used for this recipe.)
1. In a baking dish, add enough sauce to coat the bottom. Add the first layer of lasagna noodles.
2. Evenly add a thin layer of Tomato Sauce.
3. Dollop spoonful’s of Ricotta Mixture across the first layer.
4. Sprinkle a layer of Parmesan Cheese.
5. Add a layer of Mozzarella Cheese.
6. At this point, the second layer of Lasagna Noodles will be placed. This layer will place noodles in the opposite direction of the first layer.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 5.
8. If the baking dish used is deep, a third payer can be created. For this layer, place the noodles in the same direction as the first layer.
9. Top the final layer with Tomato Sauce only.
10. Before placing the lasagna in the oven, have a piece of aluminum foil ready that has been sprayed with cooking spray. This will prevent the noodles from sticking to the foil. Place the side with the cooking spray on top of the noodles. Seal the foil around the baking dish and place in the oven.
11. The cooking time will vary depending on the depth of the lasagna. Generally, 50 - 60 minutes for a 2-layer lasagna and 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes for a deep dish lasagna.
12. You will know when the lasagna is ready when it is bubbly around the edges. At this point, remove foil from baking dish, sprinkle with more mozzarella and parmesan cheese and place back in the oven long enough to melt the mozzarella cheese.
13. Finally, remove from the oven and let cool about 10 minutes for the lasagna to set.

Note: any ingredients that are leftover can make a second lasagna dish which is perfect for freezing for dinner another night.
