Add onion, garlic, eggplant, and mushrooms; cook, stirring frequently, for about 15 minutes. Add tomatoes {break up with a spoon} and their liquid, tomato sauce, wine, carrot, parsley, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for about 30 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking until sauce thickens {you should have about 5 cups of sauce}; set aside. Meanwhile, cook lasagne in boiling salted water according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again. Spread about 1/4 of the sauce in a buttered, shallow 3-quart casserole, or 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Arrange 1/3 of the noodles in an even layer over sauce. Dot noodles with 1/3 of the ricotta cheese. Distribute 1/3 of the Mozzarella cheese evenly over the ricotta cheese, then sprinkle with 1/4 of the Parmesan cheese. Repeat this layering two more times; spread remaining sauce evenly over top and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree oven, for 40 to 50 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through. Cut into squares to serve. Recipe by: Sunset Casserole Cookbook Converted by MM_Buster v2.0l. |
