Ingredients
Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 minced onion
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
- 1 (28-ounce) can crushed Italian tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan
Lasagna filling:
- 15 lasagna noodles
- 2 pounds ricotta
- Salt and pepper
- 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan
- 1 pound mozzarella, grated
- 4 egg yolks
Directions
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onions, garlic, and red pepper for 1 to 2 minutes. Do not let garlic brown. Add the tomatoes, oregano, and bay leaf to skillet. Let simmer until flavors blend, stirring occasionally every 1/2 hour. Stir in Parmesan, and remove bay leaf. Sauce is ready for lasagna to be made.
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large pot, boil water, and cook pasta close to al dente. In a large bowl combine the ricotta, salt, pepper, and Parmesan, and mix until well blended. Mix in egg yolks and set aside.
In a 13 by 9-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce and cover with noodles. Spread a layer of ricotta cheese mixture over noodles. Top with mozzarella, another layer of sauce, and repeat. The third layer should be topped with sauce and mozzarella. Cover and bake for 40 minutes, remove cover and bake for an additional 25 minutes. Remove from oven, and let stand for 20 minutes.
To serve, cut into squares, and serve with drizzled marinara sauce

Very tasty Lasagna. The sauce and cheese proportions are off. Double the sauce and half the cheese mixture. Also mix the mozz with the eggs, ricotta, and parm. Salt the tomato sauce a bit.

Yum! Seems like a lot of steps but was really easy. Only thing is the cheese is a bit much but still really good.

This is the best lasagna recipe ever. I have the most picky family on Earth and everyone loves it. Everyone I have ever made it for raves about it. I use the Barilla No Boil noodles, they are the most tender and come out like freshly made pasta. I also blend the sauce and make a double recipe and put the extra batch on the table. I use Muir Glen tomatoes as well. The sauce is what makes this recipe.
