Lasagna with Tiny Meatballs

For 6 people : a Square 8x8 or 9x13 glass pan
Bake at 300 for 45 min. Then remove foil and bake for another 20 min
So the top gets a little crust.
You can double this recipe for a larger pan

For Sugo
2 -28 oz cans of Tomatoes whole ( to be blended)
6 tbsp. Olive oil
3 cloves of garlic
1 small onion chopped finely
1 medium carrot chopped finely
1 celery stalk chopped finely
1 ½ tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Pepper

For the Meatballs
½ lb. Mixed beef, veal, pork
1 large egg beaten
½ cup of breadcrumbs
½ cup parmigiano
3 tsp. Of fresh parsley finely chopped or dried

Olive oil for frying,
Or a lined sheet bake in oven at 350 till brown

Optional : 2 links of pork sausage fried ,cut up in thin circles

For the lasagna pasta
12 sheets of lasagna (this will depend on your type)
Since the thinner lasagna that is curly on both edges
are longer you will boil 12 sheets and cut to size
2 cups of parmigiano reggiano grated
1 lbs. Bag of mozzarella grated type
3 hard boiled eggs chopped

Optional: ½ cup of cooked spinach or frozen

1.First prepare your sauce, place olive oil in a pot, add your chopped carrots,onion,celery,and garlic, saute till soft, add in your tomatoes that you have blended well, so as to get a smooth sauce.
Cook for about 30 min.

2.Get your meatballs ready, place meats in a bowl adding the egg (beaten slightly),parsley, chopped finely, salt, pepper, parmigiano, bread crumbs, mix these ingredients well and
Start to make your tiny meatballs about ½ in, place them in a large plate when all rolled.
Saute them now in a pan will have some olive oil, or bake on a baking sheet spread out so they don't touch
300 till brown.
Set aside.

3.Prepare your mozzarella (if you need to shred it, your hard boiled eggs chopped, your sausage cut in round circles and last your parmigiano grated.

4.Take your lasagna and boil per directions, I like to use a tablespoon of olive oil in the water so they don't stick together, when done i place them in a bowl of cold water , then place them on
A tea towel so as to let the tea towel absorb any water.

5.Your next step is to put it all together.
First use some sauce to cover the bottom of the pan, then add a layer of your lasagna make sure to overlap them , place more sauce to cover this layer and add your fixings, tiny meatballs, mozzarella , parmigiano, sausage, chopped egg, and if you want some cooked spinach .
Continue for about 3-4 layers and make the layers to almost the top ,this will depend on your pan, you want to leave it so you can cover it with aluminum foil.
Finish the last layer only with sauce and parmigiano.

I like to prepare this one day ahead , the lasagna settles, yes you can bake it right after, it just
needs to bake then leave it to settle in the oven for a little, this way when you cut it the pieces come out in nice layers.

Hope you enjoyed this home make lasagna with tiny meatballs, remember you need not make
It with the tiny meatballs, you can use ground meats, and if you don’t like the eggs or spinach
You can omit them, again in our region of Italy, we do not use ricotta, we never have but there
