INGREDIENTS

FOR THE SAUCE

1 tablespoon butter

2 lbs lean or extra lean ground beef

1 medium finely chopped onion

1 can 580 ml tomato sauce

1 small can tomato paste

10 fresh white mushrooms finely sliced

2 fresh garlic cloves finely cut or squeezed with a garlic press

1 teaspoon dried oregano flakes (or fresh if you have it)

1/4 cup water - to add to the sauce IF necessary

We want the sauce to be fairly thick, sometimes there is enough moisture from the fried onions & mushrooms to make the sauce the right consistency, but if its super thick, you can add just a wee bit of water.

salt and pepper to taste

FOR THE FILLER LAYER

1 egg

1 container (15 oz) ricotta cheese or dry baking cottage cheese

4 ounces of fresh spinach - steam cook for a few minutes then drain and squeeze the water out.

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

THE NOODLES

12 lasagna noodles
