Grandma's Lasgana

So last night I made my grandma's family lasagna, my great grandparents came over from Italy. I love the great feeling that making a big pan of a family recipe gives me. I actually made the lasagna the night before baked it half way let it cool then put it in the fridge. Then last night when it was time to start making dinner, I took the lasagna out of the fridge and let it set on the counter for about 15-20 minutes. While the lasagna is on the counter preheat the oven to 350 degrees (which is the temp that you will bake it the first time also)  when reheating the lasagna cove it with foil. This is a great family meal, serve with fresh baked bread or garlic toast and Cesar salad.

What you need

box of lasagna noddles
2lb jar of marina sauce
2lb container of ricotta cheese
4 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
1.5lbs of ground beef
2 egg

directions

boil 6 noddles at a time for 10 minutes, cook ground beef until the pink is gone, once beef is cooked pour half the jar in pan with beef and let simmer for about 15 minutes on low heat, meanwhile mix the ricotta cheese and the eggs together in a large bowl. Once first 6 noddles are cooked remove them from the water and add 6 more noddles to the boiling water. Pour a small amount of sauce into the bottom of the deep sided casserole dish, lay 3 noddles in the bottom of the pan spread a good amount of the ricotta cheese mixture then sprinkle with about a cup of the shredded cheese then 1/2 the meat sauce and repeat layers with rest of noddles, once at the top pour sauce from the jar on top and rest of the shredded cheese, bake and enjoy.
