How I into Lasagna?

Best cheese to use?
Pounds of meat?
Vegetables?
Carrots?

>Best cheese to use?
I like mozzarella, cottage cheese and parmesan
>Pounds of meat?
I add 1 pound of sirloin to the sauce
>Vegetables?
It depends on the sauce. Usually I either make my own or if tomatoes are out of season I buy a jar
>Carrots?
I don't think I have ever done carrots before.

Layer the sauce on the bottom, cover with noodles, sauce covers all the noodles, then cheeses, then noodles, then sauce covers all the noodles. Repeat until the pan is full.

I make mine in a 9x13 cook at 350 for 45 minutes and let it sit for 15 before you eat.

You use cottage cheese or ricotta in the middle, mozz on top, right?

>>OP
Just since you didn't ask and a lot of people fuck this up: _cook the noodles first_ - A lot of people will say you can get away with it by adding extra water to the sauce, and it's technically true, but it will never be as good. There are special noodles you don't have to cook, but again, those aren't as good.

I remember a couple months ago I made a thread about how to make lasagna and I was using some recipe I got in a cooking magazine. Everyone threw a fit that I was using ricotta cheese, I was using ground beef and Italian sausage, and I was using mozzarella. And gave me shit about how only Americans would eat that.

Someone finally stopped being a dick and posted a more "authentic" recipe, but now I can't find it. It included using brisket or something.

It was pretty good. I wouldn't say worlds best. It was my first one too.
