Hi laura!

INGREDIENTS
1/2 pound penne pasta
1/2 pound lean ground beef
1 (26 ounce) jar pasta sauce
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2 1/2 quart baking dish.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook beef until brown; drain. Stir in pasta sauce; remove from heat.
In a bowl, combine ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan and beaten egg. Stir until well combined.
In the prepared dish layer half the pasta, half the sauce and half the cheese mixture. Repeat. Top with remaining mozzarella.
Bake in preheated oven 34 to 40 minutes, until hot and bubbly.

I've never made this dish (FH and I are lactards) but I get most of my recipes from allrecipes.com and use the recipe with the highest rated review, that's where I found the one I just posted

ahhh dont use jarred sauce!!

ok my mom is the worst when it comes to giving out recipes so this is the one that i found that is closest to hers and i love it - its easier for me than following her recipe of 'use some ricotta and a few eggs' LOL

Lasagna

Here is what I do.....

Instead of 1 layer of meat, and 1 of ricotta, I combine them..... mix the ricotta and the meat together.

Make sure you use A LOT of sauce. A LOT.

And, cube the mozzarella.

I've never flavored the meat, though.
