Homemade Lasagna


marinara sauce
homemade pasta sheets
2 cups ricotta cheese
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated
1 cup parmigiano cheese, grated

2 eggs
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
salt and pepper to taste


Pasta
1 1/2 cups flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Combine by hand or in a food processor then knead till smooth, wrap in plastic and let rest for 15 minutes. Divide in 4 pieces roll out enough to fit in pasta machine. Start at number 1 and continue till number 8 so the pasta sheets are thin. Cook in a large pot of boiling salted water for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water. Tip: If dough is not soft and smooth add a little more olive oil!
