HELLOOOO LASAGNA!!!!!

Okey Dokey, many people do not have the nerves to try to make lasagna!! It's fairly easy. All you need is some serious creativity and all the necessary ingredients.

First, go out and get yourself some lasagna noodles. It doesn't matter what kind, just make sure most of them were not blasted to smitherines when they were shipped. In other words, try to make sure at least 3/4 of the noodles in the package are intact. I like to use organic noodles (actually I like using everything that's organic). If you want to make this recipe for more than half a dozen people then you might want to buy two boxes of lasagna noodles. Riccota cheese. I used 22 oz. of organic Riccota cheese. As far as sauce goes, I like using Organic Newman's Own tomato-basil flavor (it adds a little extra kick to the lasagna). You will need about 6 oz. of shredded low moisture mozzerella cheese. I like to add extra mozzarella just because it makes the lasagna a little more yummy and stringy. Two eggs. 1/2 a cup to a cup of Grated parmesan cheese (make sure it's like a powder, not shredded), depending how much you like parmesian. Now you can add meat if you want. What I like to do is take all the white meat of a medium sized rotisery chicken, put it in a blender, add a couple spoonfulls of sour cream or heavy cream to make the mixture creamy. Add a little salt, pepper and other spices to taste ( I like to use Italian spices).

Ok, are you ready? This is the ultimate secret! You will need a 7 in. x 7 in. x 4 1/2 in. pan, preferably teflon. If you use a small and deep pan there will actualy be more lasagna and less carbs per serving because there will be less noodles and a moderate amount of other stuff per serving. That's my own little secret.

Now mix the ricotta cheese, eggs, parmesan cheese and mozzarella in a big bowl.

In a soup pot, boil about half the noodles from one package. Let it boil until the top layer of the noodles is soft and the inside is not yet done (shouldn't take more than a couple munutes). If they are not completely the way they are suposed to be, that's ok, don't start freaking out. With tongs, carefully place the noodles in the pan you have selected. In the pan listed above, three strips of noodles should fit across the pan. Now here's the fun part, layering. Just alternate the cheese, meat, sauce and noodles as you desire. I add a lot of sauce and cheese mixture in between the noodles. Boil the noodles as needed. When almost at the top of the pan, top off with sauce and layer with extra mozzarella cheese. Pop in the oven preheated at 450 for 20 minutes. After that, slide a knife through the middle of the lasagna. If it slides in easily it's ready. If it does not, then put it back in the oven for another 15-20 minutes. It should be ready by then.
