Lasagna is on the menu tonight

Tonight we are having lasagna for dinner.

This is our recipe:

Meat Sauce

1lb            Ground Beef
1              Onion
6              Cloves of Garlic
1 pkg        Strained Tomatoes
1 pkg        Chopped Tomatoes
1t             Onion Salt
                Italian Seasoning
                Tomato Paste

Brown the ground beef.  Remove from pan and set to the side.  Sauté the onions and garlic in olive oil.  When cooked add the remaining ingredients.

Cheese Mixture

1 pkg       Frozen Spinach (thawed, drained)
15 oz       Ricotta Cheese
               Parsley
               Onion Salt
               Fresh Parmesan Cheese

Mix all ingredients in a bowl.  The parsley, onion salt and parmesan cheese amount is eyeballed.


The layers:

On the bottom cover the baking dish with the lasagna noodles.  Then add meat sauce, a layer of thinly sliced zucchini, cheese mixture and sprinkle fresh grated mozzarella cheese.  Repeat for as many layers as you would like.  We do two full layers.  On the very top we just add meat sauce.  Bake in the oven covered at 350 degrees for 30 mins.  Remove foil and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.  Place back in over for 20 mins.

I use this brand since the only ingredient is tomatoes
