lasagna

Okay Ladies, I like to be known for few ingredients and simple but this recipe has been requested a few times so I must ruin my reputation and post this recipe which has 12 ingredients. This is a little time consuming but what lasagna isn't?

In a large Saucepan...
Brown:
1 lb of Italian Sausage
1/2 lb of hamburger
chopped onion (to taste)
lots of Garlic! I usually do 4-5 cloves

Add and heat
1 jar of "Classico Spicy Pesto Tomato sauce"
1 can of diced Italian tomatoes in juice
1 can of tomato sauce
1/4 cp of fresh chopped basil

Cook 1 box of lasagna noodles, rinse and lay flat on towel
slice 1- 1 1/2 lbs of mozzarella cheese in 1/4 inch slices
12 oz of Ricotta cheese with 1 egg blended in.
Parmesan cheese

There is a trick to making this lasagna great!!!
Layer the ingredients but very little sauce between the noodles. So that it's mostly cheese.
You add enough just to wet the noodles. After layering, pour the remainder of the sauce on top add Parmesan cheese, olives or any garnish and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.
