1 pkg. lasagne noodles (I like Barilla) 1 jar spaghetti sauce ½ lb. ground beef ½ lb. Italian sausage* shredded mozzarella cheese spinach for layering, if desired 3 cheese mix

  1. Pour about 1/3 c. sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 pan and add about the same amount of water. Mix with a spoon and spread over the pan.
  2. Line the pan with dry noodles.
  3. Spoon the cheese mixture over the noodles. There should be enough to cover the noodles, but not be super thick.
  4. Cover with another layer of noodles.
  5. Spoon sauce to cover noodles then sprinkle with beef/sausage mixture and a handful of cheese. If you are using spinach, add here. Now put down a layer of noodles and repeat until the pan is full.
  6. Bake at 375 for 45-60 min., loosely covered with foil. Uncover for the last 10 min. *Since this usually comes in 1lb. packages, I usually do a pound of both and freeze half for later.
