Procedure


PART I

Prep Work


(a)

Dice Onion and Garlic and set aside

(b)
Remove skin from sausages and cut into chunks
( I find it easier to remove skin from
sausages frozen or leave for a short time
in the freezer to chill - about 45 minutes
. )

(c)

Break up ground turkey in bowl and set aside


(d)
Put Parmesan Cheese into bowl

(d-1)

Break open egg and put into
bowl with Parmesan cheese

(d-2)

Mix Parmesan Cheese and egg until
"crumbly" after this, set aside.


(e)

Dice or shred Mozzarella Cheese
( Pre-shredded Mozzarella Cheese is also fine )


PART II
Prepare The White Sauce


(i)

Heat your Extra Virgin Olive Oil
over medium heat, in a big pot and
and add your onions and garlic.

( My heat settings range from 1 - 10; I used "5". )

To this, add 1/2 tablespoon of salt
then brown onions and garlic

(ii)


(iii)

After onions and garlic brown, add
sausages and ground turkey.

Then add your White wine
and Balsamic Vinegar


(iv)
Add 1/2 tablespoon of salt to this
and 1/4 tablespoon of Black Pepper

(v)
Add your honey

(vi)

Cover and let the sausages and ground
turkey cook, stirring occasionally.
( For about 10 minutes )

(vii)
Add your 2 bottles of Alfredo Sauce,
reduce heat to LOW and let cook
for 20 minutes; stirring occasionally.

( My heat settings range from 1 - 10; I used "3". )

(viii)
After 20 minutes, remove from heat
your white sauce is now ready.

( Note: Your sauce doesn't
need to cool to be used in lasagne.
)


PART III

Drain and set aside.


PART IV

(4)

Pour another 2 1/2 ladlefuls of sauce over pasta

(6)

Sprinkle Mozzarella Cheese all over Parmesan Cheese

(7)

Use a tablespoon to scoop out
Ricotta cheese over first layer


The first layer is done.


Just repeat STEPS 3 - 7
( Note: For the second layer, I used 3 ladlefuls of sauce
and the 3rd layer, I used 4 1/2 ladlefuls of sauce - the rest
of the white sauce.
