Add 1/4 chopped green pepper, 1/4 chopped red pepper and chopped onion. Cook just long enough to sweat vegetables. Remove most of the mixture (about 2/3′s) and reserve for later. Add to remaining meat the crushed tomatoes and whole tomatoes (squeeze whole tomatoes in your hands to break them down into smaller pieces). Add tomato paste, water, 1 tbsp. oregano, 1 teas. marjoram, 1 tbsp. garlic, 1 teas. pepper, sugar and 3 to 4 dry bay leaves. Simmer for 1 hour stirring occasionally.

Add 1/4 of the reserved meat mix spreading to cover. Repeat process starting with the sauce, then noodles, then cheese then meat. You should get 3 layers ending with the noodles on top. Add just enough sauce on top of the last layer of noodles to cover. Sprinkle 4oz. shredded mozzarella and 1/2oz. shredded Parmesan cheese. Makes two lasagnas.

Bake for one hour at 350 degrees of until cheese starts to brown.
