HOW TO MAKE A LASAGNA

Lasagna takes a lot of ingredients, but it also feeds a lot of people.

For my tomato meat sauce:

 2 28 oz. cans tomatoes - I typically do one can diced, one crushed for a little bit of
texture!
 1-2 tbsp tomato paste (this is my favorite kind!)
 1 large onion
 garlic, garlic, garlic - I always use a ton! I'd say two cloves minimum!
 1 lb. ground beef, preferably lean
 dried oregano
 crushed red pepper
 salt and pepper
 fresh basil - dried can also be substituted!

For the rest of the lasagna:

 1 package of noodles (should be around a pound in weight)

 1 lb. mozzarella
 1/2 lb. good quality parmesan
 1 lb. ricotta cheese

Hardware:

 large sauce pan or dutch oven to make sauce in

 13x9 baking dish - I recommend glass - I always make mine in Pyrex
 large pot for boiling pasta

Prep work and browning the meat!

Roughly dice the onion, and mince as much garlic as you want. I used eight cloves. 

Once this is done, throw the ground beef brick into a pan over medium heat and cook until
browned. If a lot of fat seeps out, drain most of it. You need only a few tablespoons of fat to
cook the onion and garlic in. 
Once you've drained the extra fat, throw in the onions, garlic, some salt and pepper, and a
good amount of crushed red pepper. 

Stir this around for a few minutes over medium heat until the onions become soft. Then add
in a few good pinches of oregano and a tablespoon or two of tomato paste. (I'm using the
concentrated kind, so not as much.)
