RESTAURANT-STYLE ITALIAN LASAGNA
This lasagna recipe is a little time consuming, but if you enjoy making great, authentic, Italian lasagna for family and friends, it's pretty hard to beat this one. ***I prefer to use ricotta cheese for this dish. It's just creamier. Cottage cheese still works very well.***

Steps:
- 1. In a large skillet, brown the beef, Italian sausage, onion and garlic. Next, add the 1 1/2 teas. salt, Italian seasoning, parsley flakes, oregano, basil, cayenne, and chopped tomatoes. (with juice) Simmer for 1 hour.
- 2. Boil the lasagna noodles with 1/2 teas. olive oil and 1/2 teas. salt for exactly 12 minutes. (regardless of what the package directions read) Drain and set aside.
- 3. Pre-heat oven to 375. Combine ricotta or cottage cheese with tomato paste, eggs, black pepper, 2 TBLS. fresh chopped parsley, the parmesan cheese and 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese, (1/2 lb.) mixing well.
- 4. In the bottom of a 13 by 9, deep casserole dish, lay 4 noodles, length-wise across the dish, slightly over-laping if neccesary. Next, add half the meat sauce evenly acroos the noodles. Next, add cheese mixture evenly. Repeat, finishing with last layer of noodles.

Tips:
- Choose the right lasagna noodles. Traditional lasagna noodles are wide, flat, and slightly curved. They are made from durum wheat flour and water, and they have a slightly chewy texture. You can also use no-boil lasagna noodles, which are made with a different type of flour and do not need to be boiled before baking.
- Make sure your sauce is flavorful. The sauce is the heart of any lasagna, so make sure it is packed with flavor. Use a combination of ground beef, pork, and sausage for a hearty sauce, or use vegetables for a vegetarian version. Add plenty of garlic, onion, and herbs, and simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Don't skimp on the cheese. Lasagna is all about the cheese, so don't be afraid to use plenty of it. A good rule of thumb is to use at least 3 cups of cheese per 9x13 inch pan of lasagna. Use a combination of mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta cheese for a classic lasagna flavor.
- Layer your lasagna carefully. When assembling your lasagna, start with a layer of sauce, then a layer of noodles, then a layer of cheese. Repeat these layers until you have used up all of your ingredients. Make sure to end with a layer of sauce and cheese.
- Bake your lasagna until it is bubbly and golden brown. Lasagna typically takes about 30 minutes to bake, but the cooking time may vary depending on the type of noodles you are using. Check the lasagna after 30 minutes and continue baking until it is bubbly and the cheese is golden brown.
Conclusion:
Lasagna is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a restaurant-style lasagna at home. Just follow these tips and you'll be sure to impress your family and friends with your culinary skills.
