From the Joy of Cooking (awesome cookbook): Lasagne 16 servings The sauce may be made the day before. Combine in a large saucepan: 2 cans Italian-style peeled tomatoes: No 2 1/2 4 cans tomato sauce: 8 oz. each. 2 teaspoons salt. 3 teaspoons dried oregano (2 teaspoons onion salt) Start simmering these ungredients uncovered. Saute until golden: 2 cups minced onions 2 minced cloves of garlic in: 1/3 cup olive oil. Add: 2 lbs. ground chuck roast or round 2 teaspoons salt and cook until meat loses its red color. Add to the tomato sauce above. Simmer about 2 1/2 hours longer. Prepare: 3/4 lb. lasagne noodles according to package directions-- usually in generous quantities of water-- and cook for about 25 minutes. Add to the water: 2 tablespoons cooking or olive oil Stir occationally. Drain and seperate noodles. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Now let's build the lasagne! Put into the bottoms of two 13x9x2 1/2-inch baking dishes a thin layer of sauce, then a criss-cross layer of the lasagne noodles and a layer of cheese. In all, use: 3/4 lb. Ricotta cheese 1/3 lb. thinly sliced or crumbled Mozzarella cheese 1/3 lb. grated Parmesan cheese Repeat twice with sauce, noodles, and cheese. The final cheese layer is covered once more with sauce and a dusting of Parmesan. Bake for about 40 minutes. Remove and let stand for 10 minutes. The lasagne can then be cut for serving.
