Ingredients and Substitutions
Ground Beef - Any ground meat would be delicious, beef, turkey, chicken, and Italian sausage. Also, season your ground meat to your preference.
Pasta Sauce - Add your favorite brand and flavor, I like a classic marinara. Garlic, vegetable, or mushroom would be delicious.
Aromatics - Fresh chopped onion, garlic, and Italian parsley. Use dry ground spices in a pinch.
Pasta - Lasagna noodles, broken in pieces, and cook to the package directions.
Ricotta Cheese - Whole milk is preferred but low fat can be substituted. If you prefer cottage cheese, place it in the food processor and pulse a few times for it to be slightly smoother.
Shredded Cheese - Parmesan and whole milk mozzarella. To save time used pre-shredded cheese but shredding it from the block is better. Tips and Suggestions
