Lasagna with a slice coming out.

Lasagna

Alice Ciccu
This dish is easy to put together and almost always a crowd-pleaser. We use besciamela along with marinara sauce for the filling, no ricotta. I use a little mozzarella in the layers, although my husband only uses parmesan, so you can modify to your liking.

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz lasagna dried
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • ½ cup besciamela sauce
  • 3 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions
 

  • Cook the lasagna according to instructions. Drain and rinse so the pasta does not stick together.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix the two sauces together in a small bowl.
  • Add a thin layer of marinara sauce to the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. Then place a layer of lasagna on the bottom. Cover the lasagna with 1/4 of the sauce mixture, then sprinkle lightly with some mozzarella cheese. Repeat these layers three more times so there are four layers of pasta.
  • Sprinkle a heavier layer of mozzarella on top, then lightly dust with Parmesan.
  • Place pan in heated oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, just until the sauce bubbles a bit. If the top is not browned, you can turn on the broiler for a 30-60 seconds or so to brown the cheese. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes to set.
