When she shared this with me, I said, "Now Maria, there is NO WAY this will work!" She just smiled and said, "Try it, Wendy, just try it!" So I did and she was right, not only did it work, but now my husband gets homemade lasagna instead of frozen or worse! Here is what you will need: One package lasagna noodles One pound lean ground beef One half pound Italian saussage One medium onion One 2 cup package shredded mozzerella cheese One pint ricotta cheese One egg beaten Your favorite pasta sauce Brown the ground beef, saussage and onion in a skillet. Drain excess fat and liquid. Drain the ricotta cheese and beat in the egg. In a 9x12 baking pan, spread a thin layer of sauce. NOW HERE IS THE BEST PART...DO NOT COOK THE LASAGNA NOODLES! Yep, BELIEVE IT! Place one layer uncooked lasagna noodles slightly over lapping in the baking pan. Spread with some of the ricotta mixture. Sprinkle with some of the meat mixture. Sprinkle with some of the mozzerella cheese. Drizzle with sauce. Next layers are done exactly the same way until you have a top layer with noodles only. Cover top layer with sauce. Then cover pan with foil and place in the frige over night! Next day when you plan to serve, pop into a pre-heated 350 degree oven from 20-30 minutes and that is ALL there is to it! Thanks Maria, this is a REAL time saver. Hated boiling those stupid noodles! Maria says you can do this with any lasagna recipe because there is a chemical reaction from the ingredients which pre-cooks the noodles while in the frige!
