- 1 Box of Lasagna noodles (I tried the ones that you just put in the oven, no need for boiling & they were great!)
- Fresh homemade Meat sauce (see previous posts below for the ingredients on my special meat sauce recipe)
- Lots of freshly cut Basil
- Freshly grated Mozzarella cheese (don't buy the KRAFT bags of cheese because it's processed, its better to get a fresh ball of Mozzarella and just grate it yourself at home, it takes no time!)
- Parmigiano Regiano (generous amount)
Your sauce is the very first thing you need to start of course because it requires a bit of time to cook on the stove before you can start layering up your lasagna.
Once your sauce has been cooking for a minimum of 30 minutes up to 1 hour, turn off the heat and your ready to begin layering! Take a scoop of the sauce and cover the bottom of the pan. (I use an aluminum lasagna pan because then you can just throw it out!)
Then take 3 lasagna noodles and place them beside each other in width on the bottom of the pan. On top of this noodle layer take a generous amount of the meat sauce and cover the noodles. Then sprinkle a fair amount of mozzarella cheese and sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of parmesan and your ready to lay another level of noodles down and then repeat the steps with the meat sauce, cheese, and noodles again.
You want to make sure that each level you are doing, you add just enough sauce and cheese but not too much or else it will boil over when its cooking in the oven and make a mess!
Your last layer should just be the meat sauce and a generous amount of cheese to top it because thats where your golden brown colour will come from once its in the oven.
Enjoy,
