Phill's lasagna

My brother Phill made the most delicious lasagna yesterday.  It seriously had to be recorded it was so epic.


Brown together: 1 med chopped onion, 2-3 cloves chopped garlic, 1 lb ground beef, 1 lb italian sausage

Add: 1 can tomato paste, 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1 bottle of pasta sauce (he specifically used sauce made with plum tomatoes and it was amazing!)  Leave this simmering until ready to layer the lasagna

While that is simmering make the cheese sauce in a separate bowl: ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, mozzerella and 2 eggs.

Phill uses oven ready noodles but if you purchased the plain dry kind, boil them now until al dente.

Once your toppings are ready to go layer an 8 X 13 casserole dish starting with the meat sauce, then noodles and cheese sauce.  Keep layering ending with the cheese sauces and sprinkle parmesan on top.

Cover with foil and try to avoid it touching the top of the lasagna.  Bake 375 for about 45 minutes.  Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes or so until the cheese is perfectly melty.
