  • 4 Cups Shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 3/4 Cup Alfredo Sauce 
  • 3/4 Parmesan Cheese 
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Salt

According to Darlene:
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  2. Heat oil
  3. In a bowl mix, both ground chicken and sausage, garlic, salt, oregano, all purpose seasoning, onions, peppers, olives, black pepper and  wine
  4. Add seasoned meat and stir 
  5. Stir meat and let cook for approximately 8 minutes
  6. Pour tomatoes, red, and Alfredo sauce over meat and stir well until meat sauce turns into a creamy pink sauce cook over medium low heat for approximately 30 to 45 minutes
  7. Set aside 1 & 1/2 of mostly the sauce from your meat sauce for top layer
To Build Your Delicious Lasagna:
  1. Spread 1 cup of meat sauce at bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish preferably glass
  2. Add 4 to 6 pasta noodles over sauce
  3. Spread half of the meat evenly over lasagna noodles
  4. Top with both 8oz of ricotta cheese and 1&1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella and 1/2 of the Parmesan & 1/4 Parmesan cheese
  5. Repeat a second layer of lasagna pasta noodles
  6. Add  second half of meat top with last 8oz of ricotta and 1&1/2 cups of mozzarella & 1/4 Parmesan cheese
  7. Top with the last layer of pasta followed by reserved sauce, 1 cup of mozzarella and the final 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese and chives
  8. Bake for 1/2 hour or until cheese is melted on top 
  9. Allow to cool before serving
I serve this delicious lasagna with garden salad, a glass of wine as well as garlic bread however, some of my Latino family members love it with rice on the side!
