After that fellow posted his youtube video of him making lasagna, I've been under the hypnotic sway of MEAT and CHEESE (plus I've been randomly saying LASIZZA to everyone, which has gotten me hit twice by my girlfriend). Thus, I made my second ever lasagna today.

For the sauce, I sauted up some onion, green pepper and a couple diced up cloves of garlic in a bit of olive oil. When the onions were goldy, I tossed in about a pound of hamburger and browned that up.


(You can see the laptop, 'cause I was chattin' with my friend Penny!)




Then I added a beef boulion cube and half a cup of wine, and cooked it until the wine was evaporated. Then I threw in two cans of diced tomato, a can of tomato paste and a couple teaspoons of sugar.





I let it cook down for about two hours -- it was actually a freakishly good sauce. I wish I'd put a little more attention into any kind of proportion I did with it 'cause it is TASTY. Anyway -- then I cooked up the noodles, put some sauce on the bottom the baking dish thing, three noodles down. Sprinkled with shredded up mozzarella, dolloped on some ricotta, sprinkled on some fresh grated parmesean, lather, rinse, repeat.





Then I baked it at 375 for 45 minutes, under some tented aluminum foil. It's a little bit sloppy, I think I over did the sauce, but it's damn tasty. I had to taste some before letting it cool, because I am weak.


Kinda looks the same!



Blurry.
