how to make lasagna

I always have some of my homemade sauce in the freezer for things like this but jar sauce would also work

preheat oven to 350°

cook noodles to package directions

in large bowl mix together ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of the reggiano, the egg, basil, parsley, salt and pepper

set aside about 1/4 cup of the reggiano and some slices of mozzarella for the top

assemble lasagna in a 9x13 pan

spread 3/4 cup of tomato sauce on bottom of pan

lay noodles over lapping a little across bottom of pan

spread 1/2 of ricotta mixture over noodles and sprinkle with 1/2 of the reggiano

lay 1/2 the mozzarella and 1/2 the provolone and top with 1 and 1/4 cup tomato sauce

repeat steps 8 thru 10

add one more layer of noodles and top with remaining sauce and cheeses that had been set aside

cook in oven for 30 to 45 minutes, until top is brown and bubbly
