@seattlehanddoc GREATEST LASAGNA EVER The best gift I got this holiday was my college kids coming home and saying how much they missed my cooking and asking me to make this!💗 ** I saved time using jarred pasta sauce, my homemade tomato sauce recipe is at the bottom Lasagna Ingredients: • 32 oz mozzarella (16 oz shredded, 16 oz sliced) • 1 cup grated parmesan • 2 quarts tomato basil sauce @carbonefinefood • 2 boxes lasagna noodles (cook al dente) Meat Sauce: • 2 tbsp olive oil • 1 large onion, finely diced • 2 garlic cloves, minced • ½ cup red wine • 2 lbs ground beef • 2 pinches salt • 2 quarts tomato basil sauce (jarred or homemade) Spinach Ricotta Filling: • 2 tbsp olive oil • ½ large onion, finely diced • 2 garlic cloves, minced • 2 bunches spinach, chopped • 2 cups whole milk ricotta • 2 eggs • ½ cup grated parmesan • Salt to taste How to Make It: 1️⃣ Sauté onions & garlic in oil, add beef + salt, brown well. Stir in tomato sauce, simmer, and salt to taste. 2️⃣ In a separate pan, sauté onions, garlic & spinach until wilted. Off heat, mix with ricotta, then eggs & parmesan. Season to taste. 3️⃣ Cook noodles until slightly al dente. 4️⃣ Butter a 9x13” dish.
