| 1. To make the sauce: Take the onion and garlic, and sauté in olive oil in a large pot for a few minutes. | 2. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, bay leaf, herbs, crushed red pepper, and prosciutto or ham bone. | 3. Simmer gently for about an hour and a half. | 4. Remove the bone, puree the sauce (carefully, since this will be hot), and taste for seasoning. | 5. The cheeses: Keep parmesan and mozzarella in separate piles. | 6. Add the chopped basil and parsley to the ricotta, and season with freshly ground black pepper. | 7. Layer the lasagne: In a dish that is 10x6x2, begin with a light layer of sauce on the bottom. | 8. Cover with a sheet of pasta, and spread it with sauce. | 9. Sprinkle with parmesan and mozzarella. | 10. Cover with another sheet of pasta and sauce. | 11. Put half of the ricotta and herb mixture on this layer. | 12. Repeat with a layer of pasta, sauce, and mozzarella and parmesan, then another layer of pasta, topped with remaining ricotta. | 13. Make one more layer of pasta and mozzarella and parmesan, ending with a top layer of pasta and sauce and parmesan. | 14. Cover the lasagna with foil and bake 20 minutes in a preheated 350-degree oven. | 15. Remove the foil and bake another 20 minutes or so, until the top is crusty and golden. | 16. Let sit for 5 or so minutes after removing from the oven. | 17. Cut into portions, grate with fresh parmesan and serve. | 18. Note: You can use store-bought sauce as a time-saver, but if you have the time its worth the wait. | 19. This may also be made earlier in the day: assemble and keep in the fridge until ready to cook. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
