Homemade Lasagna

This is a basic lasagna recipe that is just simple but delicious.  Because I have a husband that doesn't like ricotta cheese or any tomato or onion chunks, so I have simplified this recipe to really make anyone happy and enjoy it. 

Ingredients:

• 2 packages Creamette Oven Ready Lasagna Noodles - 8 oz each
• 3 packages shredded mozzeralla cheese - 12 oz each
• 2 can tomato sauce - 29 oz each
• 1 can tomato paste - 12 oz
• 5 minced garlic cloves
• 3/4 red wine
• 1 pound Italian sausage (can be hot if you like it spicy)
• 1 pound lean hamburger
• 1 cup Parmesan Cheese
• 2 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
• 1/2 cup fresh basil - torn
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 Tbsp dried oregano - rub between your palms to release the oils
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (if you use hot italian sausage, do not use this)
• 1/4 cup Olive oil
• Sea Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

Brown sausage, hamburger and garlic in a saute pan.  Drain any fat.  Add olive oil, tomato sauce, paste, red pepper flakes, salt & pepper, wine, oregano, onion powder and italian seasoning then simmer for 30 minutes.

In a 9x13 lasagna pan, put a layer of sauce on the bottom. Then add a layer of noodles, sauce, then cheese and sprinkle parmesan cheese. Repeat for 4 layers.  

Top with cheese, parmesan cheese and sprinkle italian seasoning. 

Spray foil with olive oil Pam or cooking spray and cover the lasagna so the cheese doesn't stick to it. 

Bake 45 minutes and remove foil.  Then put back into oven and bake another 15 minutes until cheese is golden brown.  

Let set for at least 15 minutes to set.  Then cut and serve with torn basil on top.
