Super Simple Lasagna

 
























Everyone needs a good lasagna recipe, right?  Well this one is simple.  Super simple.  Like when I first started to think about cooking, this is the only thing that's fail-safe.  And you can add pretty much anything you want to it!  It goes a little something like this:

Ingredients 

¾ box lasagna noodles
¾ container parmesan cheese
¾ bag mozzarella cheese
1 pint ricotta cheese
1 egg
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
1 large jar marinara sauce


Optional Ingredients

2-3 cups fresh spinach
2-3 cups fresh mushrooms


Directions
Preheat the oven to 350.


Boil the noodles as per the recipe on the box.  I wouldn't use those no-cook noodles, those weird me out.  And they don't have the fun curly edges like the real noodles do.


Sautee vegetables with olive oil and set them aside.


In a bowl, mix almost all of the parmesan and mozzarella cheese, all of the ricotta cheese, the egg, and the parsley.


Use a large rectangular glass pyrex pan.  Coat the bottom of the pan with sauce.  Add a layer of noodles, then sauce, then veggies, then the cheese mixture. Then noodles, sauce, veggies, cheese again.  And again.  You will probably be able to make 5 or 6 layers.  


On the top layer, do a layer of noodles, sauce, then sprinkle on the remaining parmesan and mozzarella that you didn't mix in the first time.  And that's it!

Bake for about 1 hour.


Et voila!
