Always Pepper!    Peppery Italian Gilling Herb Ratatouille Lasagna

Instructions:

In a Dutch oven, cook sausage or ground beef (or both), onion, and garlic over medium heat until well browned. Stir in veggies and let sear.  Add matoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Season with Whole Natural Flavors Low Sodium Seasonings.  Add salt and pepper.  Simmer covered, for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.  Check seasoning.  Add if need be.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain noodles, and rinse with cold water. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
To assemble, spread 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange 6 noodles lengthwise over meat sauce. Spread with one half of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with a third of mozzarella cheese slices. Spoon 1 1/2 cups meat sauce over mozzarella, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers, and top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil: to prevent sticking, either spray foil with cooking spray, or make sure the foil does not touch the cheese.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.
