In a cheesy mood...

I've been craving lasagna for a while now.  I finally made it last night!  It takes a long time to make, but it did kill my craving!

Ingredients:
2 cans of tomato  sauce
1/2 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, diced
300 g ground beef
1 egg 
2 cups ricotta cheese
2 cups mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
dash of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg
fresh parsley
lasagna noodles (cooked)

1) Heat olive oil in large pan, saute onions and garlic for 2 min, add the beef and cook until brown.  Add the tomato sauce, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, salt and pepper and let it simmer for 20 min.
2) Combine ricotta cheese, parsley, and a dash of nutmeg in a bowl.  
3) Preheat oven to 200c.  In baking pan, layer the beef sauce, noodles, ricotta sauce, mozzarella in that order.  Repeat 2 more times.  Top with beef sauce and mozzarella cheese.
