MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT MAKING LASAGNA

 I finally attempted to make a Lasagna and it came out good.  I cooked the Lasagna pasta al dente.  I used a meat sauce I had made earlier and kept in the freezer.  For the Ricotta cheese mixture, mix with one egg to 8 ounces of cheese.  I also sliced eggplant lengthwise.  The layers were meat sauce, pasta, eggplant, meat sauce, ricotta, mozzarella cheese, shredded Parmesan. pasta, meat sauce, ricotta, mozzarella.  Bake for one hour at 350 degrees.  If I do this again, I'm going to wait until the last 15 minutes before putting on the last layer of mozzarella.  Make sure you tuck in the past around the edges so they don't burn or get dried out.
