How to Make N Y I Lasagna

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook 1 pound lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  3. While noodles cook, prepare the mashed potatoes: Boil 2 pounds potatoes until tender. Drain and mash with 1/4 cup milk, 2 tablespoons butter, and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. In a large skillet, saute 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), and 1 red bell pepper (chopped) in 2 tablespoons olive oil until softened.
  5. Cook 4 slices bacon until crispy. Crumble and set aside.
  6. In a large bowl, combine 15 ounces ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 egg, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Layer the lasagna in a 9x13 inch baking dish: spread a layer of mashed potatoes, followed by a layer of noodles, then the ricotta mixture, sauteed vegetables, and crumbled bacon. Repeat layers, ending with a layer of noodles and a generous topping of mozzarella cheese (about 2 cups).
  8. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
  9. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
