Sue's No Boil Lasagna w/my Favorite Sauce

No Boil Lasagna

You Need: 2 large eggs, 15-16ounce container Ricotta, 1/2cup shredded Parmesan cheese. 4cups your favorite pasta sauce, 4cups shredded mozzarella, 1 box lasagna noodles. A 9x13 in baking dish sprayed with non-stick oil.

Combine the eggs, Ricotta, and Parmesan in a small bowl.

Then layer things in the following order:

Sauce, noodles, ricotta mix, moz cheese, sauce. Repeat until done. Make sure you end with sauce then top with more moz cheese.

It's important that the noodles are always on top of the sauce.

Cover with foil! Bake at 350F for an hour. Remove foil for last 10-20mins if you like your cheese toasted. I know mine is done when a knife sinks into it and I think "Yum".

Serve with salad and bread.

Variations: cottage cheese can be used instead of Ricotta and is usually cheaper. Italian mix cheese can be used instead of Parmesan (also cheaper). Feel free to add meat to your sauce. I don't only because it makes it more costly and it's still good w/o it.

BTW: I've made this entirely from items purchased at Aldi. It freezes well. It's great to give to a family who needs a meal such as if someone in your church has surgery or has a new baby. It's inexpensive. Each lasagna makes 8-10 generous servings.

My favorite sauce: equal parts crushed and pureed tomatoes, salt, pepper, garlic powder, EVO, basil, oregano, and cayenne pepper (sparingly to taste). Avoid Hunts brand tomatoes and pre-seasoned tomatoes. Can add browned ground beef, sausage, sausage links, or meatballs.
