Making Lasagna


For Valentine's Day, my boyfriend and I decided to make lasagna for dinner. He is from an Italian family, so he has experience in making it...but this was my first rodeo. We got a package of whole wheat lasagna noodles, 2 containers of Ricotta cheese, Spagetti sauce, veggies (onions, peppers, spinach), & Italian Sausage and began our creation.

First thing we did was rinse the noodles and let them dry.

We then layered a casserole dish with 4 rows of lasagna noodles (they over lap each other a little).
We then spread ricotta cheese over the noodles> followed by a layer of the spagetti sauce mixture (veggies, sausage, spaghetti sauce).
Continue layers noodles > ricatto > sauce till the dish is full.

We sprinkled Mozzarella cheese on top before we put it in the oven.

We cooked the dish on 350 for an hour.

It turned out YUMMY! We had a salad and Italian bread with it. What a great homemade dinner! :)
