Tips

This makes a huge pot of sauce and I only use about half in the lasagna. It freezes well so I always have sauce in the freezer for a couple more meals. In order to make the nutritional information accurate, when calculating the NI, I only included the ingredients in 1/2 of the sauce.


Directions

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Brown ground beef with onion, green peppers and mushrooms.

Add tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes and tomato paste.

Stir in seasonings and Splenda. Let cook for approximately 1 hour ( or all afternoon if you have the time).

Toward the end of sauce cooking time, in a medium sized bowl, mix together Ricotta, beaten egg and black pepper to taste.

Cook noodles according to package directions.

When sauce is cooked, layer a small amount into a 9x13 baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Add a layer of noodles, then the sauce , then some of the ricotta mixture, ending with a layer of mozzarella.

Keep layering until pan is full.

Bake for approximately 45 minutes, until hot and bubbly.

Remove from oven and let stand for 15 minutes prior to cutting. Slice into 12 servings.
