Italian Beef Lasagna (Italyan Usulu Kiymali Lazanya)

1 lb ground beef
1 onion, finely chopped
2 Tbsp canola oil
1 lb lasagna noodle
3 cups tomato sauce
3 cups crushed tomato
2-3 Tbsp tomato paste
1 lb ricotta cheese
½ lb mozzarella, shredded
1/3 cup Parmesan, shredded
4-5 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Italian spice mix
¼ cup sugar
1 Tbsp salt to taste

Cook ground beef with canola oil until the color changes and then stir in onions. Saute for 4-5 minutes over medium heat. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce and tomato paste, garlic, sugar and salt to taste. Cook for about 15 minutes over low heat until the mixture thickens. Stir in the spice and let it cool.
Boil lasagna noodles in lightly salty water according to the directions on the package. Rinse under cold water and drain. Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C). Pour one ladle tomato mixture over a lasagna pan, spread evenly and arrange a layer of boiled lasagna noodles (usually 3 pieces side by side). Then, spread a ladle of tomato sauce over lasagna and spread some ricotta cheese to cover all over. Continue layering with the same order; lasagna, tomato sauce, ricotta cheese and lasagna until using the all lasagna. You can either leave some tomato sauce for the top or use it all in between the layers. After layering is done, use all the mozzarella and parmesan cheese to cover the top of lasagna. Cover the top with aluminum foil and bake for 35-45 minutes. You may remove the aluminum foil and broil the top at the last 5 minutes.
Let it rest for 10-15 minutes, slice in squares and serve hot/warm.
ENJOY
