[ Thanks for all the great guacamole recipes!! ] The last issue of Family Circle has a feature titled something like Hint's from Mary Ellen's Kitchen. This month's issue has a recipe for something I've wanted to try for a while: lasagne with uncooked noodles. I won't apologize for my sauce - I'd rather have the time than sauce made from scratch, and most friends aren't able to tell the difference. BTW, if you have a favorite recipe, all you have to do is add one and a half cups of water to your sauce and remember to put a layer of sauce down *before* the first layer of noodles. Sauce: 1 32 oz jar of sauce (I use Prego w/ mushrooms) 1 sm can tomato paste 1 lb ground beef 1 onion 1 sm can sliced mushrooms 1 & 1/2 cups water Cook the ground beef and onion; add sauce, paste, water and mushrooms. Filling: 1 16 oz container ricotta 3 uncooked eggs 1/2 tsp oregano other seasonings as you like Mix together (I use a blender). Have on hand a 1 lb box of lasagne noodles, 1/2 or 1 lb mozzarella (depends on your preferences), parmesan cheese. In a 13x9x2 pan, layer 1 1/2 cup sauce 1 layer of noodles, slightly overlapped 1/2 the filling mixture 1/3 the mozzarella 2 Tbl parmesan 1 1/2 cup sauce 1 layer of noodles 1/2 the filling 1/3 the mozzarella 2 Tbl parmesan 1 layer of noodles remaining sauce (be sure to cover the edges) remaining mozzerella 2 Tbl parmesan Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil. Put on a cookie sheet, and put in a 350 degree oven for an hour, or until knife goes through noodles easily. Beth Mazur {ihnp4,ima,harpo}!inmet!mazur
