Method

  • Bring water to a boil with a teaspoon of olive oil and a dash of salt, add noodles let cook until al dente.
  • Meanwhile, in large mixing bowl add ricotta, egg and 2 dashes black pepper; mix well with wooden spoon and set aside.
  • When noodles are done, strain and immediately rinse with cool water (to keep from sticking).
  • Dice onion, pepper and garlic cloves.
  • Shred spinach leaves.
  • Put sauce into medium size bowl, then add the onion, pepper and garlic and mix well.
  • Put large skillet over medium/high heat.
  • Add ground beef and sausage; cook until browned.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 350F.
  • In large 10-1/2x13-inch baking pan, add a thin layer of sauce then layer noodles lengthwise, leaving no spaces.
  • Add another layer of sauce, a layer of meat, a layer of ricotta cheese, a layer of Mozzarella Cheese, a sprinkle of Goya Adobo, a thin layer of spinach leaves, a layer of parsley and oregano, a layer of shredded Parmesan cheese and more sauce.
  • Continue building layers until just above the top of the pan, ending with a noodle layer, sauce and Mozzarella cheese on top.
  • Place in oven and bake for 45 minutes.
  • When done, immediately remove and place on cooling surface for half an hour until cooled (or it will ooze all over the place when cutting).
  • Have Fun!!
