Hazırlanışı

1. mound your flour on a large pastry board, or the counter with the salt, and make a well in the center. Break the eggs into this well, and start to scramble each egg with a fork as it is being added. Start to incorporate the eggs and flour by slowly bringing more flour in from the inside edges of the well. Continue adding the flour to the eggs until they are no longer runny. Using your hands now, bring the outside edges in, forming a large mass on your board. Use only the amount of flour needed to form a soft ball. Begin to knead the ball of dough as you would bread, pushing it down with the heel of your hand. Continue kneading until the dough is smooth and satiny, for about 5 to 7 minutes. Wrap the prepared dough in plastic wrap, and let it sit for about 30 minutes. Use a pasta roller or roll by hand to make long sheets of pasta 1/4 thick. (I use my Kitchen Aide table mixer with the pasta attachment and roll my pasta to the third last position or to number 6 on the dial.) After rolling, cut into 12 inch long strips, precook in boiling water for 30 seconds, and then place in ice water. Dry and set aside on clean kitchen towels. cook the onion in the oil the onion until it is tender. Add the garlic and stir well, cooking an additional minute. Finally add the tomatoes, basil and seasonings. Bring everything to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for about 30 minutes until thickened. mix together the ricotta, egg, parsley, one cup of the grated cheese, and season with salt and pepper. add about 1/2 cup of sauce to the bottom of a large lasagne pan, then add a little water and mix. Make an overlapping layer of the noodles across the bottom of the pan. Spread a large spoonful of sauce on top, making sure the noodles are well covered. Add one more layer of noodles and sauce, and then add a layer of the ricotta mixture and mozzarella slices. Continue in this manner until you have 5 layers. On the top, cover the noodles well with the sauce, place another layer of mozzarella, then sprinkle on the parmesan. Cover with foil, and bake in a preheated 375 degree F. oven for about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and cook another 10 minutes. Let rest an additional 10 to 15 minutes before serving so the cheese sets a bit.
