Ingredients

1 tablespoons Olive oil
2 cups Tomato puree
1 lbs Ground beef
1/2 lbs Lasagne noodles
1 cups Finely chopped onion 2 qt Water
1 Cove Garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoons Olive oil
1 teaspoons Salt Salt to taste
1/4 teaspoons Mixed Italian seasoning
1 1/2 cups Ricotta cheese
1/2 teaspoons Oregano leaves 1 Lg egg
1/4 teaspoons Thyme Tabasco sauce to taste

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 375F (190C).
2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook lasagne noodles until al dente according to package directions. Drain and rinse briefly to prevent sticking; lay flat on wax paper.
3
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small crumbles with a spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary.
4
Add finely chopped onion and garlic to the beef. Saut until onions are translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
5
Stir in tomato puree, mixed Italian seasoning, oregano, thyme, Spanish paprika, salt, and Tabasco sauce. Simmer the sauce for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
6
In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese and egg. Mix until smooth.
7
Spread a thin layer of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
8
Layer 3 noodles over the sauce, overlapping slightly. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, then top with half of the remaining meat sauce.
9
Repeat the layers: 3 noodles, remaining ricotta, and remaining meat sauce. Top with the final layer of 3 noodles.
10
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 25 minutes.
11
Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the edges are golden.
12
Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing to allow layers to set.
