OH BOY DINNER TIME!

Pan Lasagna

Ok here is an easy yummy dinner recipe. I think if found this in one of the many food magazines I skim threw. Its suspiciously a lot like spaghetti but with the different noodles LOL but i think i prefer this one more, seems heartier to me.

SO how do i make it you scream!

ok here we go!

one pound of ground beef
one box of lasagna noodles ( you can use either no boil ones or the normal ones..only difference is the time to cook )
one can of your favorite spaghetti sauce ( i like traditional prego because i don't care for the large chunks of stuff.. when i do use the others i run it threw the food proseser to liquefy)
a small amount of dices onion ( i love sweet onion but again what ever you like! )
2 cloves of garlic nicely minced ( LOOK MA! I KNOW COOKING TERMS NOW!)
and i use 1 1/2 to 2 jars of water ( use the jar from your sauce to measure )
salt, pepper and red chili flakes ( im not so adventurous so you use what ever you like here )

ok so now i have the stuff on the counter
.. umm what do i do with it all!

ok my friends! i grab a large pan, one that i would cook my soups in. basically you want a nice deep pan for the sauce to be live in.
Now heat it up on MD and put in a bit of EVOO ( extra virgin olive oil for you non rachal ray watchers... the shame!) and your onion and garlic and cook that up for a min.
Now throw in your beef and brown it up! here is were i add my measly spices :) you throw in what ever is on your spice rack now.
Now that its cooked you want to drain out all that yummy goodness they call fat!
Now add your choise of sauce to the pan ( i have of coures liquefied mine to a nice red sauce :) and the added water. you can start with just one jar if you want
Now i brake my noodles up to put them in. i brake it up 3 or 4 times
Now give it a mix and if the noodles are not covered well add more water and cover it.
Now turn to high to get a nice boil going and turn back to M or MD to keep it going.
I figure about 20 min and theres dinner, just check the doneness of them noodles

remember to stir it so that the noodles not cook to the bottom of the pan... ya umm i forgot one time LOL.

yummm dinner ;) now YOU MUST find a veg to serve with it or some mother will show up and make you eat your peas. ohh and we know mr!
