 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1       lb           Ground beef, lean
    2       tb           Olive oil
    3 1/2   c            Tomatoes
   16       oz           Tomato sauce
    1       lg           Onion, diced
    1                    Garlic clove, minced
    1 1/2   ts           Oregano
      1/4   ts           Rosemary leaves
    1       t            Basil leaves, fresh, crushed
                         -(or 1/4 tsp dried)
      1/2   ts           Msg
    2       ts           Salt
    1       t            Sugar
    1       c            Mushrooms, sliced
      1/2   lb           Lasagne noodles
    1       lb           Ricotta cheese
      1/2   lb           Mozzarella cheese
      1/2   c            Parmesan cheese, grated
 
   Saute ground beef in hot oil until meat loses its pink color.  Add
   tomatoes, tomato sauce, seasonings and mushrooms. Mix well; cook slowly
   about 2 hours or until sauce is thickened. Cook noodles following
   directions on package; drain, rinse in cold water and separate. In a
   buttered 3-quart baking dish make two layers of the noodles, meat sauce,
   ricotta, slices of Mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese, in this order,
   using about half of each for each layer. Bake in 350 F oven 30 minutes or
   until bubbly. Serves 6 to 7. NOTE: Pepperoni may be added to meat sauce if
   desired. You may double the recipe for sauce; use half in making the
   lasagne, as above, and serve the remainder, cooked down until quite thick,
   in a sauce boat along with the lasagne.
