How to Make Acadia's Lasagna

  1. Boil 6 cups of water with 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot. Remove from heat.
  2. Add 9 lasagna noodles to the hot water and let soften for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  3. Brown 1 pound of ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon dried basil, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the browned ground beef.
  6. Add 2 (28-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the meat mixture. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Grease a 12x8x2 inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons of butter.
  9. Layer three-quarters of the lasagna noodles in the baking dish.
  10. Spread 15 ounces of ricotta cheese evenly over the noodles.
  11. Top with half of the meat sauce.
  12. Sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  13. Repeat layers: remaining noodles, remaining ricotta, remaining meat sauce, and remaining mozzarella cheese.
  14. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
  15. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the lasagna is heated through.
  16. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
