How To make Italian Lasagna(Usda)

x

2 1/4 pounds lean ground beef
1/3 cup instant minced onion
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
4 teaspoons salt
3/8 teaspoon red pepper

crushed
1 tablespoon oregano
3 tablespoons parsley flakes
18 ounces tomato paste :

3 (6-oz) cans
24 ounces tomato sauce -- 3 (8-oz) cans
2 1/4 cups hot water
3 large eggs

beaten
3 pounds ricotta cheese
1 pound lasagna noodles :

cooked, (18 noodles)
12 ounces mozzarella cheese -- shredded
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Line four 8x8x2-inch baking pans with heat-resistant freezer wrap. Allow enough extra wrap to fold over top. Use one pan for each six servings or one-fourth of the recipe. Do not line pans for food to be served without freezing.
Crumble beef; cook until lightly browned. Stir in onion. Cook until onion is tender. Drain off fat. Stir in seasonings, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. In another bowl, blend eggs with ricotta cheese.
In each pan, spread a layer of meat mixture (about 3/4 cup). Add a layer each of noodles (2 1/4), meat mixture (about 3/4 cup), ricotta cheese mixture (about 3/4 cup), mozzarella cheese (1/3 cup), and parmesan cheese (1 1/2 tablespoons). Repeat layers until all ingredients are used. Pack food tightly to avoid air pockets.
TO SERVE WITHOUT FREEZING: Preheat oven to 400
