????????LASAGNA RECIPE????????

• 12oz Oven Ready Lasagna Noodles (NO BOIL lasagna noodles)
• 24 oz Mozzarella Cheese (use more or less as desired)

MEAT SAUCE
• 2.5 lbs ground beef
• 48 oz marinara sauce PLUS 1 cup of water (use a high quality sauce)
• 1/2 diced white onion
• 5 minced garlic cloves
• 1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
• 1/2 Tbsp Beef Bouillon Powder
• 1 Tsp dried Basil
• 3/4 Tsp Cayenne Red Pepper
• 1/4 Tsp ground black pepper
• Salt (to taste)
• Fresh Parsley
• Sugar (This is not a rule! Please taste your sauce and use your best judgement if your sauce is very acidic then add sugar as needed)

CHEESE SAUCE (make to your taste)
• 15 oz whole milk Ricotta Cheese
• Grated Parmesan cheese
• Garlic powder
• Cajun seasoning (optional)
• Salt
• Fresh Parsley
• 1 egg (add last)

NOTE: I used a 13 x 9 1/2 inch casserole dish and baked for 1 hour, broiled for 3 minutes.

When making the meat sauce please taste as you go! If you prefer NOT to use Marinara Sauce then you may use any pasta sauce (e.g. garlic and herb, tomato and basil, tomato basil garlic ) and taste as you go..... meaning gradually add seasonings to your sauce and make any adjustments as desired.

If you prefer you may brown your meat and onions, add pasta sauce, THEN gradually add seasonings! The outcome of your lasagna is based on how well your meat sauce tastes. It's important that you use a high quality sauce and season to YOUR taste for BEST results! Enjoy ????

The way that we suggest you make this dish is to assemble the lasagna in the tray that you will be freezing. Cover it tightly and freeze. You do not cook this lasagna until you are ready to eat it.. When you are ready to eat it thaw the lasagna, bake at 375F for 25 minutes covered with foil then bake an additional 25 minutes uncovered. You are basically melting the cheese and heating up the center..

Recipe for the Meat sauce is here:

Other Recipes you can make with this meat sauce:
Italian Lasagna:
Gnocchi Bolognese:
Baked Ziti:
Pizza Bake:
Baked Spaghetti:

The Meat sauce will make 5 (9x13) trays for freezing. If you want to make less just divide it as you see fit.

Lasagna Noodles for 5 trays: 60 or 6 packs (1 extra in case some break)

This ricotta mix is for 5 (9x13) trays
5 pounds of ricotta cheese
5 large eggs
2.5 teaspoons of salt
1/4 cup of dried parsley

Cheese for topping:
Mozzarella cheese grated: 5 pounds
Parmesan Cheese: 5 Pounds


If you want to substitute 1/2 of the ricotta to save some money you can use Queso Fresco It is a Spanish fresh cheese that is mild and works great in this recipe. Combine the ricotta, eggs, salt, and parsley and mix till smooth and creamy. You don't want any lumps at all in your cheese mix as this will help you spread it out more evenly. I use my food processor to help out with this step. Once this is made set it in your fridge or covered on your countertop.

Boil the noodles:

Each baking tin will normally get 12 noodles (2 Layers of 6) so depending on how much you are making you can calculate how much pasta you need. For this recipe (making 5 trays) you will need 60 noodles or 6 packs. This will give you a few extra in case some break. In a pot of well salted water that is boiling cook the pasta till just a hair under al dente. Take out of the water and rinse with cold water. Gently arrange the noodles in rows so that they are flat and easy to grab when you are ready for them.

Time to assemble in your baking tin:

Place a layer of meat sauce on the bottom (1.5 cups)
Arrange 6 noodles lengthwise slightly overlapping
spread some ricotta over the noodles with a spatula
sprinkle some mozzarella cheese over the ricotta
add some meat sauce (2.5 Cups) on top of the mozzarella cheese
sprinkle parmesan over the meat sauce.

add 6 more noodles slightly overlapping
spread some ricotta over the noodles with a spatula
sprinkle some mozzarella cheese over the ricotta
add some meat sauce (2.5 Cups) on top of the mozzarella cheese

To finish the layer cover the top of the lasagna with mozzarella cheese then parmesan cheese. When you are finished you should not have too many extra ingredients.

Wrap with foil and freeze. To bake, thaw dish, cover with foil and bake in a 375F oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and finish baking an additional 25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the center is hot.



Thanks again and we will see you in the next video.

Homemade Lasagna Freezer Meal

My family loves lasagna but I find that it's a big job to make it so I decided to make four at once. It's just as easy as making one and this way I have more for the days that I do not want to cook.

How to Cook a Frozen Lasagna in the Toaster Oven

In this easy cooking video, I cook a Michael Angelo's frozen Lasagna with Meat Sauce in my toaster oven. I set the oven to bake at 350 degrees F and put a piece of aluminum foil on top of the lasagna to keep it from getting burned. The cooking time was 90 minutes.
