I personally dislike "meat sauces" and when I add meat to lasagna I
follow my grandmother's example and make very tiny meatballs (ground
beef,parsley, garlic, parm.cheese, spices/herbs, browned) and scatter
them across the cheese layer as I go. Not a lot of meat by any stretch.
Or perhaps I'll use sliced, cooked sweet and hot Italian sausage. Again
not much as it is a rich enough dish that I don't want the meat to
predominate the flavors.
