Categories: Lasagna, Pasta
Yield: 16 Servings

2 cn Italian-style peeled
-tomatoes; (No. 2 1/2)
4 cn Tomato sauce; (8 oz. each)
2 ts Salt
3 ts Dried oregano
2 ts Onion salt
2 c Minced onions
2 Minced cloves garlic
1/2 c Olive oil
2 lb Ground chuck roast or round
2 ts Monosodium glutamate
2 ts Salt
3/4 lb Lasagna noodles
2 tb Cooking or olive oil

Makes 16 servings. The sauce may be made the day before. Combine in a large
saucepan tomatoes, tomato sauce, 2 teaspoons salt, oregano and onion salt.
Start simmering these ingredients uncovered. Saute until golden: onions and
garlic in 1/2 cup olive oil. Add ground chuck roast, monosodium glutamate
and 2 teaspoons salt and cook until meat loses its red color. Add to the
tomato sauce. Simmer about 2 1/2 hours longer. Prepare noodles according to
package directions, usually in generous quantities of water, for about 25
minutes. Add to the water 2 tablespoons cooking or olive oil. Stir
occasionally. Drain and separate noodles. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Now
let's build the lasagna! Put in the bottom of two 12 x 8 x 2 1/2-inch
baking dishes, a thin layer of sauce, then a crisscross layer of the
lasagna noodles and a layer of cheese. In all use:
3/4 lb. Ricotta cheese,
1/2 lb. grated Parmesan cheese,
1/3 lb. sliced or crumbled, Mozzarella cheese.

Repeat twice with sauce, noodles and cheese. The final cheese layer is
covered once more with sauce and a dusting of Parmesan. Bake for about 40
minutes. Remove and let stand for 10 minutes. The lasagna can then be cut
for serving.
