Classic Lasagna

I made this last night for friends. They LOVED it! I got ratings of "13 out of 10". So simple, so good.

Ingredients:

• 9-12 lasagna noodles (Depending on size of pan)
  
• 2 pounds ground beef (Or vary with 1lb some other kind of meat; sausage, turkey, etc)
  
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
• 4 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce (sounds like a lot but trust me! I actually just used 2 jars of Prego and it was fine.)
  
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.
3. Cook the ground beef over medium heat; drain. Stir in the garlic salt, oregano, thyme, basil, and tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper; simmer 10-30 minutes (depending on your time constraints).
4. Meanwhile, mix together the ricotta cheese, eggs, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl.
5. Ladle enough of the meat sauce into a 9x13 inch baking dish to cover the bottom in a thin layer. Form a layer atop the sauce with 3 of the lasagna noodles. Spread about 1/4 of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle about 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese over the ricotta cheese mixture and then ladle about 1/3 of the meat sauce over the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layering twice more, topping with the remaining 1/4 pound of mozzarella cheese. Add a thin coating of additional Parmesan to make a crusty top.
6. Bake in preheated oven 90 minutes. Allow to sit 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

-I ended up cooking it for only 60 minutes as the oven I was using was really great or something. It was so perfect! With big servings it yielded 12 large pieces.
