1 pound Italian Sausage or ground beef
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. basil flakes
8 oz. tomato sauce
15 oz. spaghetti sauce
2 - 6 oz. cans tomato paste

10 oz. lasagna noodles
30 oz. tiny curd ricotta or cottage cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 Tbls. parsley flakes
2 beaten eggs
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 pound Mozzarella or provolone cheese, sliced very thin

Brown meat slowly; spoon off excess fat. Add next 5 ingredients. Simmer uncovered 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook noodles in large amount of boiling salted water till tender; drain; rinse.

Combine remaining ingredients, except mozzarella cheese.

Place half the noodles in a 9 X 13 inch deep baking dish. Spread with half the ricotta cheese filling; add half
the Mozzarella cheese and half the meat sauce. Repeat layers.

Bake* at 375 Degrees F about 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting into squares - filling will set slightly.

*Or assemble early; refrigerate. Be sure to allow 15 minutes or so longer in the oven.
