Ingredients

 
1 medium-sized onion, chopped
 
3 tablespoons olive oil or salad oil
 
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
 
1 clove garlic, minced or mashed
 
2 cans (8 oz. each) tomato sauce
 
1 can (6 oz.) tomato paste
 
1/2 cup each dry red wine and water (or 1 cup water)
 
1 teaspoon each salt and oregano
 
1/2 teaspoon each pepper and sugar
 
12 ounces lasagne noodles
 
Boiling, salted water
 
1 pound (2 cups) ricotta cheese or small-curd cottage cheese
 
1/2 pound mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
 
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

In a large frying pan that has a cover, saute onion in oil until soft; add beef and garlic, and cook, stirring, until meat is brown and crumbly.
Stir in tomato sauce, tomato paste, wine, and water.
Add salt, oregano, pepper, and sugar, stirring until mixed.
Cover pan and simmer slowly about 1 1/2 hours.
Meanwhile cook noodles in boiling, salted water as directed on the package, until tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain thoroughly, rinse with cold water, and drain again.
Arrange about 1/3 of the noodles in the bottom of a 9 by 13-inch shallow casserole dish. (Lay one layer of noodles lengthwise in the dish and the next layer crosswise.
Alternate this way as you continue to arrange the dish.) Spread 1/3 of the tomato sauce over the noodles; top with 1/3 of the ricotta and mozzarella cheese.
Repeat this layering two more times.
Top with the Parmesan.
Bake uncovered in a 350° oven for 30 minutes.

This has been our standard recipe for many years. It's in the Sunset Easy Basics cookbook. Try adding 1 lb lean ground beef, 1/2 lb Italian sausage to "kick it up a notch."
