Ingredients:
- 1 Jar Tomato Sauce
- Oven-Ready Lasagna Pasta
- Garlic
- Onion
- Cheddar Cheese
- Ricotta
- Marble Cheese
- Ground Pork
- Oregano
- Pepper
- Olive Oil
I'm sorry, I honestly didn't take measurements for this.
First, throw about a teaspoon of olive oil into a saucepan. Add a bunch of ground pork (or chicken or turkey, or beef or whatever kind of meat you like).
If you like a really meaty sauce... add a lot of meat, if not... then don't.
Cook until no longer pink.
Add the onions, mix it up with the meat until the onions are a slightly soft.
Add the jar of sauce to the meat.
So here I started with a small pot. You shouldn't. Get a big pot to do this. I had to switch halfway through because my pot wasn't big enough.
And here's why:
You need to add some water to make your sauce rather quite watery. You need to do this because we're using oven ready pasta and the pasta will soak up a lot of the extra water (About 1 cup of water for every cup of meaty sauce).
THEN, add oregano and pepper. As much as you feel like adding. Seriously, this isn't a recipe that needs specific measurements.
I decided I needed vegetables in my lasagna, so I chose spinach.
You can use a many different vegetables though..peppers... kale.. choose what you like, be creative.
Ok, so in your casserole dish, put in a layer of sauce, then some shredded cheese, then a layer of the oven-ready lasagna noodles (uncooked). After, put some of the ricotta on top of the noodles. It's easier to spread it this way (in my humble opinion).
So, do that again and again until you can't fit anymore into the dish. Then put extra cheese on top of the last layer so that it can go all crispy in the oven.
Bake at 200 degrees for roughly 40 minutes. I then put it on broil for the last minute to make the top crispy, but that's just me.
There you go, a basic lasagna. Lots of room to be creative.
