This is my recipe... I find it easy enough to put together without seeming like a cheap recipe.





1 box lasagna noodles (get the type that can cook in the oven, not that you have to boil - unless you want to boil them first, in which case, get regular noodles). You can get coloured noodles like green (spinach) to make it fancy


2 jars spaghetti sauce (your choice - I like tomato basil, but any kind will do. You may only need one jar but I need two for my lasagna)


1 tub ricotta or cottage cheese


1 bag shredded cheese (again, your choice - a mix is good)


1 package ground beef





Cook the beef in a skillet with a tbsp of oil. When it's cooked, add the spaghetti sauce and heat on medium-low until it's heated through (bubbling a bit).


Heat oven according to lasagna noodle package (some types of noodles take longer if you're cooking them in the oven).


Oil the bottom of the lasagna pan.


Add a layer of noodles to the bottom of the pan, spoon on some of the meat and sauce mix, and a few spoonfuls of ricotta or cottage cheese (you don't need to spread it - it will spread while it heats. Just spoon it on.)


Add more layers until the top of the pan, then finish with a layer of noodles and top with shredded cheese.





Some red wine (dry) would be delicious with your meal, or some iced tea or lemonade if you don't drink alcohol.





For desert - are you going to cook something? A scoop of vanilla icecream with a heated brownie and some chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and cherries would be delicious.


OR a chocolate fondue:


Cut up some fruit (bananas, strawberries, pears, tangerines, mango, cherries, raspberries).


On the stove, add a half cup of cream to a saucepan and heat on a low setting. Add some chocolate chips (a cut or two - depending on nhow much you want to make). Stir until it's melted. Put in a dish and dip the fruit into the chocolate.





Have fun!
