\"Best.<\/p>\n

I originally posted this in October 2005 (!) but thought I should update it with some photos.\u00a0 Especially after the grief it added to my weekend<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It really is worth all of the hassle, though.\u00a0 I promise.<\/p>\n

INGREDIENTS:<\/p>\n

1 1\/2 pounds lean ground beef
\n1 onion, chopped
\n2 cloves garlic, minced
\n1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
\n1 teaspoon dried oregano
\n2 tablespoons brown sugar
\n1 1\/2 teaspoons salt
\n1 (29 ounce) can diced tomatoes
\n2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
\n12 dry lasagna noodles
\n2 eggs, beaten
\n1 pint part-skim ricotta cheese
\n1\/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
\n2 tablespoons dried parsley
\n1 teaspoon salt
\n1 pound mozzarella cheese, shredded
\n2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese<\/p>\n

DIRECTIONS:<\/p>\n

In a skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef, onion and garlic; drain fat.<\/p>\n

\"Browned\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mix in basil, oregano, brown sugar, 1 1\/2 teaspoons salt.<\/p>\n

\"Adding<\/a><\/p>\n

Add diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Simmer for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.<\/p>\n

\"Simmering\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles, and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until al dente; drain. Lay noodles flat on towels, and blot dry.<\/p>\n

In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, ricotta, Parmesan cheese, parsley and 1 teaspoon salt.<\/p>\n

\"Mmmmm\u2026cheese.<\/a><\/p>\n

Layer 1\/3 of the lasagna noodles in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Cover noodles with 1\/2 ricotta mixture, 1\/2 of the mozzarella cheese and 1\/3 of the sauce. Repeat. Top with remaining noodles and sauce. Sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese over the top.<\/p>\n

\"Mmmmm\u2026lasagna.\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.<\/p>\n

It’s about 10 calories a serving.\u00a0 Give or take a couple of hundred calories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
