<h1>How to Cook Lasagne</h1>
<!-- This is a WikiHow Recipe -->
<h2>Ingredients</h2>
<!-- Ingredient list-->
<ul>
<li>1 to 1-1/2lb ground meat, depending on preference (Italian sausage, beef, veal, lamb, or a mixture)</li>
<li>1 to 1-1/2lb ground meat, depending on preference (Italian sausage, beef, veal, lamb, or a mixture)</li>
<li>1lb (0.45 kilograms) shredded Mozzarella cheese</li>
<li>1 egg</li>
<li>1 white onion, diced</li>
<li>2 cloves garlic, crushed</li>
<li>1 14 ounce can crushed tomatoes</li>
<li>28 ounces tomato sauce</li>
<li>6 ounces tomato paste (optional)</li>
<li>1 box Lasagna noodles (9-12 noodles)</li>
<li>Grated Parmesan or Romano cheese, to taste</li>
<li>1-2 tablespoons olive oil</li>
<li>2 cups of cheddar cheese (for topping)</li>
</ul>
<h2>Steps</h2>
<!--Steps-->

<!--At this level = steps-->
<!--At this level = comments-->
<li>Cook the noodles in boiling water.</li>
<ul>
<li>You will likely need you biggest pot, filled 2/3 with water, to fit the noodles. As you wait for the water to boil and noodles to cook you can move on to making the filling, however.</li>
<li>Some companies sell "Oven Ready" noodles that don't need to be boiled, so be sure to read the box to check.</li>
</ul>
<li>Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pan on medium heat.</li>
<li>Add a diced medium white onion and 2 cloves of chopped garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start becoming translucent.</li>
<ul>
<li>Looking to get more vegetables in your lasagna? Add 1/2 cup chopped carrots, celery and/or green peppers here as well for a heartier sauce. If you do, allow the vegetables to cook and extra 1-2 minutes.</li>
</ul>
<li>Add the 1lb of ground meat to the pan and cook until browned.</li>
<ul>
<li>If you are using sausage, cut the casings off so you only have the ground meat inside.</li>
<li>You can also take this time to add 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano, basil, or rosemary, or simply 1 tablespoon of dried Italian seasoning.</li>
</ul>
<li>Transfer the meat and vegetables to a large sauce pot on medium-low heat.</li>
<ul>
This is a good time to check on your noodles if you've forgotten them.
</ul>
<li>Add the sauce and tomatoes to the saucepot and bring to a simmer.</li>
<ul>
<li>You can substitute 36 ounces of pre-made pasta sauce instead of the three different tomato products for a simpler sauce.</li>
<li>Take this time to add any additional spices you want, such as garlic powder, sugar, or more seasoning, 1 teaspoon at a time. Many cooks like sugar to balance out the natural acidity of the tomatoes.</li>
<li>Lower the heat if it is bubbling too much, you only want a low simmer.</li>
</ul>
<li>Cook the sauce on a low simmer for 10-15 minutes. </li>
<ul>
<li>The sauce does not have to be cold to move forward, but letting it cool slightly will make it easier to handle.</li>
</ul>
<li>Whip your ricotta together with the beaten egg.</li>
<li>Spoon a thin layer of sauce into the bottom of a large, oven-safe dish.</li>
<li>Lay lasagna noodles over the entire bottom of the dish.</li>
<li>Spoon 1/3 of the ricotta mixture evenly over the noodles.</li>
<li>Spoon 1/3 of the sauce over the ricotta.</li>
<li>Top the sauce with a generous coating of mozzarella.</li>
<li>Continue layering in this pattern --noodles, ricotta, sauce, mozzarella-- until you run out of noodles.</li>
<ul>
<li>Top with a sprinkling of freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese before putting in the oven.</li>
</ul>
<li>Bake for 30-40 minutes at 375℉, covered with aluminum foil.</li>
<ul>
<li>Remove the foil for the last 5 minutes to brown and bubble the cheese on top.</li>
</ul>
<li>Let the lasagna sit for 10 minutes before serving.</li>
</ol>
