count floyd's 3D house of lasagna

I live in a house with a couple of raging pasta lovers. I'm not one of them. So, this is a compromise on a dish that's got lots of veggies and is high in the protein department, but still satisfied my pasta loving boys.

It's a multi-step process, because everything from the noodles to the red sauce is made from scratch. But well worth it, because it tastes amazing. Amazing I tell you.



You will need:

1.  red lasagna sauce

2. green pasta

3. cheese mixture:

1 lb ricotta
4 eggs
1/2 tsp sea salt
black pepper
pinch nutmeg
1/2 tbsp marjoram/oregano

4. shredded cheese mixture:

100 g parmesan, grated
170 g organic mozarella, shredded


 ASSEMBLING one large LASAGNA:

1.  1/2 batch of green pasta dough for one large lasagna
2.  1 liter of red lasagna sauce
3.  1 lb of ricotta mixed with 4 eggs and seasonings -- about 3 cups
4.  100 g of shredded parmesan with 170 g of shredded mozarella

(fyi you can make 2 lasagnas and throw one in the freezer)


directions:

1. preheat the oven to 345
2. using coconut oil or butter, grease your (3 L) lasagna pan

3. divide the dough into 3 parts. Roll each part into noodles for one layer
4. Put 2/3 cup of sauce in the bottom of the pan and layer the first layer of noodles
5. put 2/3 cup of sauce on top of the noodles, followed by 1/2 of the ricotta mixture (about 1 1/2 cups)
6. put 2/3 cup of sauce on top of the cheese followed by another layer of noodles
7. put 2/3 cup of sauce on top of the noodles followed by another layer of ricotta mixture (1 1/2 cups)
8. put 2/3 cup of sauce on top of the ricotta mixture, followed by another layer of noodles
9. put the final 2/3 cup of sauce on top of the last layer of noodles
10. top everything with the shredded mozarella and parmesan mixture
11. bake at 345 for 60 minutes, or until the top is browning nicely
or
can be frozen tightly wrapped and unbaked, and then baked from frozen at 345 degrees sometime in the future (put it in a cold oven then turn on the oven and bake. May take 90 minutes.
