This recipe for Italian Lasagna is a family favorite. A rich meat sauce, ricotta cheese, Mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese marry together in this delicious traditional casserole. While veggie lasagna is delicious, I am a sucker for lasagna made with meat sauce.
There are around ten noodles in a half-pound package of lasagna noodles. That’s enough for three layers of three noodles each. My mom usually buys the one-pound package, which contains 20 noodles and makes two pans of lasagna.
Recipe change from the box
My family prefers I leave the olives out of my lasagna, so I’ve never included them. The recipe from the back of the box is below PLUS 1 cup sliced pitted ripe black olives. If you decide to use them, just layer them in with all the other lasagna ingredients.
More cook’s notes to consider
If you are using regular lasagna noodles, use half of a box. If you are using oven-ready, use the whole box. This is based on using Creamette and the shape of their noodles. The oven-ready noodles are shorter and wider, therefore I layer them in the pan differently than I do the regular noodles. Watch the video above and you’ll see me making this recipe with the oven-ready noodles. The regular lasagna noodles are long and narrow and fit the full length of a 13×9 baking dish. You basically need about 12 noodles to make lasagna. A regular box of noodles will have about twice that many, while a box of no-boil noodles will have 12-14.
