1	lb. ground beef
3	cups spaghetti sauce
1	8 oz. can tomato sauce
1	15 oz. ricotta cheese
1	egg, slightly beaten
1/2	tsp. Dried basil leaves
1/2	dried oregano leaves
12	pieces oven ready lasagna noodles, uncooked (American Beauty works well)
4	cups shredded mozzarella cheese

PREPARATION:

Heat oven to 350 degrees.
In large skillet, cook meat until browned; remove from heat.
Drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce.
In a small bowl, stir together ricotta cheese, egg, basil and oregano.
In 13x9x2 inch baking dish, spread ¾ cup meat sauce.
Place 3 pieces uncooked pasta crosswise over sauce. Pieces should not overlap or touch side of pan since they will expand when baked.
Spread about 2/3 cup ricotta mixture evenly over pasta. Spread ¾ cup meat sauce evenly over ricotta covering pasta completely; sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat TWO more times.
Top with remaining 3 pasta pieces. Spread remaining meat sauce completely over pasta; sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
Cover with foil. Bake 30 minutes; remove foil. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.
Enjoy with a fresh salad and French bread
