    Passover Lasagne
    Description
     

This is easy and a very big hit. No matter how full my guests are from the previous evening’s seder, no matter how they think they’ll never eat another thing, they always end up having seconds of this dish.

    Ingredients
     

12 matzas, slightly dampened
8 ounce package of farmers cheese
4 eggs
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 pound mozarella cheese, grated
2 jars (approximately 24 ounces each) spaghetti or tomato sauce
 

    Preparation
     

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. You will need 2-9x13 – inch pans. In a medium bowl, mix together farmers cheese, eggs and nutmeg. Set aside. Pour a thin layer of tomato sauce on the bottom of each pan. Place two matzas on top of the sauce. You can fill in the empty space with broken pieces. Next place a layer of the cheese mixture in both pans, using about 1/4 of the mixture for each pan. Sprinkle a small amount of mozarella cheese over the farmers cheese, then cover with a layer of sauce. Add another layer of matzas, then the remaining farmers cheese. Add another layer of sauce and a final layer of matzas. Cover the tops of the matzas with the mozarella cheese. Bake for about 45 minutes until cheese is nicely melted and browning. Serves 12 guests who claim they’re not really hungry.
