Lasagna:

Here is another great Italian recipe.
What you need. What you do.
The recipes for meat sauce are in the Cookhouse Cuisinier archives. Prepare 1 batch of basic or light meat sauce.
3 qts. water. 2 tsp. salt. 1/2 tsp. olive oil. 10 lasagna noodles. Place water, oil and salt in a large pot and bring to boil. Place noodles in pot and cook al dente. 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and rinse.
1 lb of ricotta cheese. 2 eggs. 1/2 tsp. salt. 1/2 tsp. black pepper. In a medium bowl, beat ricotta and eggs together with salt and pepper until smooth. Do this while the noodles are cooking.
Grate 1 lb of mozzarella cheese. 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese. Layer the ingredients in a 9 by 14 inch lasagna pan in order. Start with 1/2 the meatsauce Add a layer of noodles. Spread on 1/2 the ricotta mix. Sprinkle on 1/2 the parmesan. Finish with 1/2 the mozzarella. Repeat to form a second tier, finishing again with mozzarella.
Bake at 350 deg. for 20 to 30 minutes. Until cheese bubbles. Broil for 5 minutes to brown.
Allow to sit 10 minutes before cutting. Serve in 4 or 5 inch squares.
All you need with this is a salad with Italian dressing, a basket of garlic bread sticks, and a bottle of good Chianti.
