Lasagna by

Source: Our Best Lasagna box

Lasagna got dry when I: Used my orange casserole dish. Used shredded parmesan instead of grated (whoops) I sprinkled with cheese when I cooked it uncovered for the 10 minutes - plus I think I left it cooking about 12 minutes. (whoops again) I used Skinner regular noodles. They were almost too tough. I cooked covered for 60 minutes so don't cook it any less. It had a great flavor but just got too dry. Next time either try cottage cheese or 1/2 cup more spaghetti sauce or water.

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (seasoned with salt and pepper)
3 1/2 Cups (32 ounce jar) spaghetti sauce
1 1/2 Cup WATER!!!

2 Cups (15 ounce) Ricotta Cheese or small curd cottage cheese (cottage cheese will make it more liquidly per an article)
3 Cups (12 ounces) Shredded Mozzarella (or Monterey Jack Cheese but I use mozzarella)
1/2 Cup GRATED Parmesan Cheese (grated parmesan in the jar; not shredded)
2 eggs
1/4 Cup FRESH chopped Parsley
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Pepper

8 ounces REGULAR lasagna, uncooked (9 pieces)
