American Lasagna

Ingredients

Ingredients
680 g lean ground beef 1 onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
3 g chopped fresh basil 2 g dried oregano
25 g brown sugar
9 g salt
1 (29 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
12 dry lasagna noodles 2 eggs beaten
570 g part-skim ricotta cheese
40 g grated Parmesan cheese
3 g dried parsley
6 g salt
455 g mozzarella cheese
shredded
10 g grated Parmesan cheese
1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef, onion and garlic; drain fat. Mix in basil, oregano, brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Simmer for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles, and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until al dente; drain. Lay noodles flat on towels, and blot dry.

3. In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, ricotta, Parmesan cheese, parsley and 1 teaspoon salt.

4. Layer 1/3 of the lasagna noodles in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover noodles with 1/2 ricotta mixture, 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese and 1/3 of the sauce. Repeat. Top with remaining noodles and sauce. Sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese over the top.

5. Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
