Hello fellow recipe lovers, I hope you enjoy this recipe,just like an Italian grandma used to make. Before we begin it's important that you spare 3 hours of your time to prepare this meal.

INGREDIENTS:
(all needed to make proper sauce)

1 pound of ground meat.
1 can of tomatoes crushed.
1 can of paste.
1\2 teaspoon of basil
1\2 teaspoon of oregano
1\2teaspoon of garlic powder
1\2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, or virgin oil.
1 & 1\2 tablespoons of salt
2 glasses of 8oz of water

Let us begin now to make our homemade sauce. Get yourself a medium pot. The first ingredient you put in the pot is: your 2 tablespoons of oil...then your can of tomatoes... then the 2 glasses of water...then your paste.

Next add in the ground meat, then all your spices accordingly. Now that everything is in your pot, cook at medium heat. Turn your sauce every 10 minutes, so it will not burn.

After a half hour has gone by, add another half a glass of water with a teaspoon of salt, and cook another half hour, still turning it every 10 minutes. Now you have homemade Italian sauce, congratulations on the first step.

Once your sauce is complete, its time to make lasagna, but first you must boil 3 eggs for 15 minutes. Remove the skin of the eggs. and mince the eggs in pieces.

Next, you need lasagna pasta, make sure its half cooked. Also you need minced mozzarella, parmesan cheese, and oregano.

Now get yourself a lasagna tray, I’ve cooked lasagna in a casserole tray too. Put sauce in the tray, just enough to cover the inside about half a cup of sauce should do for that part.

Get the lasagna strips, and put it in the tray make sure the tray is covered. 3 or 4 strips should be enough to start, then put the sauce ingredients on the first level of the lasagna.

Add mozzarella in each corner and one in the middle, then sprinkle oregano and parmesan. Sprinkle some eggs too, not too much.

Add some sauce (about half a cup worth), and continue with strips of lasagna pasta, amd follow the process again. When you reach the top, you should have about 5 layers or more now.

It's different for the top of the lasagna: NO EGGS. Put lots of mozzarella all over, fill it up and sprinkle lots of parmesan cheese with a dash of oregano. Cover it with one cup of sauce or more depending how large your pot is. Just make sure the top is covered with lots of sauce.

Then cover the tray with foil paper, put the oven to 400 and cook for one hour. Presto: you have homemade Italian meal, fit for a king!

REMEMBER: Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. If served too quickly, it may burn your tongue, we don't want that to happen to your guests.
