Thanks to pre-cooked lasagna noodles making lasagna is now a tad bit easier. The noodles have their instructions on how to get them ready but i like to put them in hot water 5 minutes before i use them and they are ready to go.

To make the sauce, fry onions and garlic in olive oil, add tomatoes and cook till soft. Add the ground beef, mix and cover and cook in medium to low heat until all the water evaporates. Pour in a mixture of warm water (about a quarter cup), tomato paste and desired spices(cayenne, paprika e.t.c). Bring to a boil and cover for 5 minutes under low heat then add fresh coriander(dhania).

For the cheese, place in a bowl one egg, ricotta and cottage cheese and mix.  Then in a casserole dish (or baking pan) place sauce on the bottom, add pasta then beef sauce then the cheese. Repeat for as many layers as desired. The final layer should be covered with sauce and then a layer of mozzarella cheese. Place in in the oven and cook at 200 degrees C covered for about 25 min, then uncovered for another 25 min.
